Balance is the key . . . .

In my opinion. Too much of anything is not good, nor is too little of some things. To prolong life, one must balance diet, exercise, attitude, sociability and other daily factos fo life.

Of course, living on that low calorie diet is just a step up from starvation. Is it... Sign in to see full entry.
