"Good point.  Perhaps "make your body five" instead of
"make you five", to emphasize the pure physical.  (If
people want to forget, et al, that's a separate
discussion.)"

*Also, there would be different categories within the physical and mental
rollback.  A body at puberty may look good, but its muscles structure is
underdeveloped.  Women and men should not develop muscles until after they
are full grown.  A mature body might actually be more advantageous than a
young one. Also, the mind is sexier when wisdom is developed.
Unfortunately, wisdom is straddled on the cusp of memory loss.
