Every day your body replaces and repairs its organs and tissues using the nourishment you provide it in the form of food, water, and oxygen. No matter what your age, each and every cell in your body needs top-quality fuel to do its job well. Similarly, your body needs alternating periods of activity and rest to regulate the ongoing processes of cellular degeneration and regeneration. Our food, water, and the air we breathe all combine synergistically with our physical activity and environment to keep our bodies in the state that is most natural to them — one of health and well-being.
Regardless of your current level of fitness or age, the information I offer here is meant to inspire you to make the best possible nutrition and fitness decisions for yourself. Remember, we are all works in progress, and it is never too late to begin making deposits to your mind–body health account.
