You only get one body, the way you treat it today goes along way to determine your health in the long term. What if you were allowed to have just one vehicle your whole life? You'd have to take care of it, change the oil, filters, tires, decide what fuel source is best and a lot more. This might seem like the best comparison, but cars have easily replaceable parts.
These are a few health tips. I added some links so you could read more about your health.
