Snelson looks great! Whatever he is doing he needs to keep doing! The man looks almost ten years younger! He is probably drinking more water too! I made a cold bottle of water my drink of choice as a goto drink instead of a cold bottle of diet coke, and I feel a hundred times better in my back and limbs! True story. Still drink a coke every once in a while though.
Thank you for an uplifting and inspirational story. Making note of the people’s age gives the sense that I can improve my health and lose weight too
