I know I am not alone in worrying about the sagging skin that comes as we age. I started noticing it at 40 but felt helpless to do anything about it. Hence, I haven’t done anything about it, and it’s only gotten worse and more disconcerting. Interestingly there’s a strong connection between maintaining strong facial
It’s no surprise that by our 50’s we females have osteoporosis.

And now we have to concern ourselves with the ramifications that come
“Sit up straight. You’re going to have round shoulders when you grow up.” Do you remember your mom telling you that all the time?

Breakfast is breaking fast. So, whenever we choose to first eat during the day, we are eating breakfast. When
“Anything on the shelf (i.e. in the middle of the store) is poison until proven otherwise.” Robert Lustig This sounds radical. But IS there merit in it!
