I don’t think that you get old & stiff…I happen to think you get stiff first, and THAT makes you feel old. Losing flexibility as you age plays a huge role in how young or old you “feel.” Stretching is so important, but so is getting adjusted! Keeping your joints in alignment helps maintain the discs between the bones in your spine and prevents degeneration (aka arthritis) in your spine.
The next factor is nutrition & hydration—are you actually getting the nutrients you need?
