It’s a fairly common stereotype, or paradigm, to think that 51 year olds are not even close to being in great physical condition.
Mostly it’s true. And it’s true because not many 51 year olds are in great physical condition, which only fuels the ridiculous paradigm.

Vitamins, minerals, supplements, fiber, protein, carbohydrates, fats, and the list goes on and on. No wonder we struggle to sort through to the basic, common sense health strategy that will work for us.
We can worry about this some other time, say when the phone rings, “Hello, this is your wake-up call. You’ve neglected your health all your life and now you have to pay the price. Have a nice day”.
