Tulip, I agree with a lot of what you have to say, but would also like to know how old you are. I'm twice as active as I was at 30 and take much better care of myself but since I passed 50, I've noticed a big change in how fast I recover and in how my fast my body is changing. The best thing I can do for me is to stay active and hope I set a good example for my children and grandchildren. Are you over 50?
