- How fine-tuning your body with testing is no different than bringing your car to a mechanic for diagnostic testing, except that many of us would rather know about our car than our own bodies.
- Why Investing in your body and yourself is no less important than saving for retirement. As Gil says…. It’s very important for us to understand that we are the most important and sophisticated machine that we have, and we need to take care of ourselves as good as we can, and we need to start doing it as early as possible. It’s the best investment that you will do. if you have a bit of time or a bit of money always invest it in your body because what is the sense of having retirement at the age of 65, assuming that you have saved money for retirement, if you cannot use it? So again, invest in your body and try to make it as strong as possible for as long as possible.
