You are not too young to begin making healthy lifestyle choices to reduce risk.

Quote: “Exercise is the closest thing to a fountain of youth we have.”–Peter Attia, MD.

Pow, pow, pow, the sound of the paddle hitting the pickleball echoed throughout the court. Annie smacked the ball over the net to Kathy, who returned it with equal effort. Michael and LJ watched in quiet concentration and admiration as they played.
Gradually, both men moved simultaneously into position to get back into the game.

They were lost in the intensity of keeping the ball in play. The sweat dripped from their bodies, but they kept going, driven by an unspoken competitive spirit that only came out when they played pickleball.

“Nice shot,” said Michael as he received a return from Annie.

“You’ve got this one,” yelled LJ to Kathy.

After an intense game, all four paused to drink water. Annie spoke first. “This was one of my favorite games so far. I love pickleball.

LJ agreed heartily as he wiped his forehead with a towel. “We should do this more often. It’s an excellent workout for both our minds and bodies.”
