How a person ages depends on how they treated their bodies all their lives. While you’ll never be able to undo the damage already done, it’s never too late to start eating properly and getting into better shape to prevent further damage and extend the time you do have left.
Isn’t it amazing that all those people who once said they’d rather live hard fast and loose and die young but happy turn out to be the ones who will try any magic potion that comes along in hopes of turning back the clock they’ve sped up.
It always seems that when you are young, you have all the time in the world, but when you get old you realize that time goes by way too fast, a lifetime is very short.
I ate well ALL my life....have been active since I was born, was an athlete/gymnast when it was NOT cool to be one (1960’s)....I never did drugs, never smoked, didn’t live fast and loose.....hereditary issues matter for some....you cannot generalize like you are.
