It slows our metabolism (how fast our body burns energy), puts more pressure on our joints, hurts our posture, throws off our balance, and limits our mobility. The bad news is, it gets worse.

Eating slowly creates actual biochemical changes that make you less inclined to overeat and process more n...
One of the greatest times in American automotive technology was the development of the muscle car in the 1960s. From Ford’s Mustang to Chevy Corvette, all of the major companies built cars that not only looked great, but could also really perform! Over the next few years the most popular muscle cars will be turning 50 and the ones that have had regular oil changes and the scheduled factory maintenance are still functioning out on the streets. Just like regular maintenance extends the useful life of a car, exercise improves the function of m...
