on that note, i think i'll be eating a lot more vegetables and cutting back on a few other things... i'm sure he must have good genes too
i agree, he also lives in a less polluted environment and probably doesn't use toxic products (like most of us are exposed to), i think that would be a big factor. anyways, hope you live a long and happy life. thanks for giving time to comment :)
