We include this to ensure the "Vessel" lasts.

It offers simple "Vital Signs" (like the ability to get up off the floor without using your hands) and daily practices to maintain the hip and spine health required to be independent and pain-free into old age.

It is the practical guide to preventing the physical stiffness that usually accompanies aging.
