Can you remember when no part of your body sagged, drooped or wobbled? What goes wrong when we hit mid-life? The major physical decline in the human body occurs between 30-40 years of age. During these years, muscle mass is lost, metabolism slows down, bones lose density, flexibility and strength decline and body fat increases. In fact, the average woman gains approximately 20lbs between the ages of 20-65.
