‘Health and wellness’ is a passionate concern of mine - one of several, actually. And, at long last, more people are starting to appreciate their health BEFORE they lose it. They are also realising that it’s preferable to have, for example, a healthy 55 or 60 years of life than a mediocre or even miserable 75 to 80 years.

Too often we take our health for granted and realise, only too late, that it needs to be maintained, not just repaired when it breaks down after years of neglect or abuse. If we looked after our bodies - internally as well as externally - the way some of us maintain our cars, boats and other valued possessions, we’d be healthier, happier, less stressed and probably financially better off as well.

If we’re serious about living longer or just being able to enjoy the life we have now without strain, discomfort or unnecessary medication, then we need to pay attention to our INNER health, not just our external appearance.
