Real World


Many health issues and problems that you will experience later in your life have their origins in habits and routines that are established at an early age. The symptoms of lung cancer due to smoking, for example, may take 20 or more years to become evident. By establishing a good health and wellness plan early in life, you have a much better chance of enjoying your later years to the fullest!
