If you’re seeking to live longer and maintain a good quality of life in your senior years so to enjoy more time with the people you love, this talk is for you.Because health isn’t just for hospitals, its in the choices we make everyday.“We can’t predict our ending, but we can influence our journey.” — Dr Jonny Bloomfield
