Parents must lead by example. Don't use the cliche; do as I say and not as I do. We are our children's first and most important role models.
A systemic cleansing and detox is definitely the way to go after each holiday. It is the key to fighting high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, and other health-related illnesses.

Every time we went to the grocery store, I'd rush to the magazine area and read the ones with Arnold Schwarzenegger and all those guys on the covers: 'Pumping Iron,' 'Muscle and Fitness,' 'Muscle Builder by Joe Weider.'

If you like playing basketball, you play basketball. If you like playing golf, you play golf.
