SHOW INTRODUCTION If you knew you’d live forever, how would you care for yourself? Better, I think! To quote The Old Man in the play Prelude to a Kiss: “If I’d known how long I was going to live, I’d have flossed!” The symptoms we expect from aging are not aging, they’re chronic illness. Healthy people don’t degenerate as they live, they become more considered. Vitality, zest, energy, clarity, and curiosity are characteristics maintained through good balance and practice. Prudent avoidance of irritants and toxins including radiation from wireless devices, environmental chemicals, and fake foods are essential. Appropriate nutritional support, hormonal balance, rest, and exercise keep your lean body mass mobile and pain free. Whether you’re twenty or eighty, the opportunity to live like an immortal starts here!
