About This Quote
Middle age has been defined as what happens when a person's broad mind and narrow waist change places. It is a period in life where we gain new experiences and learn new lessons. Throughout the years, we noticed that our body changes as we grow older. We gain wisdom and knowledge. Though there are things no one can do about your aging, there are things you can do to prevent some of the damage of aging.
