And preventative maintenance applies to the body too--engaging in regular exercise, eating right, and stretching can prevent illness and injury, keeping medical costs low.

I've thought about buying a bike but so far I've managed to walk almost everywhere. The market place is almost exactly 1 1/4 mile from my house. I have a back pack for veggies and stuff. But I may have to take the plunge when summer gets here. Not going to be a lot of fun if I can't make it to the market and back before it hits 110.
