We would begin to lose muscle mass, which decreases our strength and energy. The skeleton would also begin to shrink slowly reducing our height.

Our eyesight would worsen the farther away we go and make it difficult to focus on objects up close and we would create fewer tears, which would cause us to have dry eyes.

Our nervous system would be affected with each mile further away from The Villages. It would be difficult to maintain balance and and our reflexes would slow down. This can be dangerous in certain circumstances, such as driving or doing our favorite line dance.

Didn't I see this in a movie. Lost Horizon with Ronald Coleman. Was it Shangri-La? Wait? Are you saying TV is Shangri-La? I knew it!
