I also do get terrified by the idea of being confined in a wheel chair, that idea has never settled well with me. Making healthier and better choices when it comes to what we consume and how we treat our bodies is key to living long and energy filled life (even at old age).

Most times, we simply aren't being mindful of the sources of our food or how well it is being prepared and we just end up feeding our body with "food" that the body doesn't need, contribute nothing or little to it (and might even be harmful to it).

Cooking our food from scratch and using whole foods, definitely has an impact on how good and healthy our food turns out to be.
