Are YOU losing the ageing lottery? Some of us are 'genetically destined to age faster and die younger' - no matter what you smoke, drink or eat!
Gotta say that this has always been a universal truth. What about all those nonogenarians who live on bacon fat, bourbon and biscuits? Have they merely dodged a bullet or is it all to do with bodily internal programming?
This overweight fogy does not expect his no tobacco, non-alcohol abusing, high fruit, high fibre, high vegetable diet to save me from all the horrid diseases - but, perhaps all we can do is try to sway the odds in our favour a bit. (Memo to self: really must try to shed near addiction to potato crisps.)
Do remember two basic facts: God is in control and if our bodies are 'Temples of His Holy Spirit' - we are obliged to treat the shell with more than a minimum of respect.
