5. If you hear a funny noise, feel an imbalance, or it just seems as if something is wrong, go get it checked out right away.

Go to the doctor if you feel unusual aches and pains or simply don’t feel well.

6. Avoid anything that will corrode the interior and clog up tubes.

Avoid smoking, excessive alcohol drinking and foods that will clog  your arteries.

Gentlemen, the good news is that—if you treat your body as well as you do your car you are on the road to wellness.  For more health, fitness and lifestyle tips visit www.alturnative.com
