You are aging. We all are. There is no way to prevent it, but you can control how you handle the process. Think of it as a new challenge, and enjoy it. If you have positivity around aging, your identity as an athlete will remain. View it as a gift: you’ll be wiser, know yourself better, and likely pick up some amazing strategies and tactics to get you through your athletic career without too much injury. Aging is about acceptance. Once you accept it, you’ll embrace trying new things, sharing your ideas in your local community, teaching young folks what you have learned, learning new skills and solving puzzles, and enjoying the feeling of movement.

This part of the book addresses the relationship between food, in the form of peak nutrition, and the body.
