While it is true that we are all aging, it is not true that nothing can be done about it.\u00a0 It is easy to assume that as we age we will become weaker, less flexible, less fit, have weaker immune systems, more brittle bones, etc.\u00a0 The facts though are that all of us can actually become more fit, more flexible, stronger, and have more potent immune function- we can function \u201cyounger\u201d as we age.<\/p>\n
What you have to do, first of all, is reject the concept that your decline is\u201cinevitable\u201d. Then push yourself to learn new things- a new physical or mental activity or hobby.\u00a0 Actively work to increase your strength and flexibility through any combination of weights, stretching, yoga, Pilates, martial arts, tai chi, ballroom dance, or whatever gets you moving.\u00a0 Improve your nutrition so that you are getting more of the things that really fuel your body and less of the things that are a drain on it. Sharpen your mental acuity by reading challenging things and working out difficult problems.\u00a0 Remember- either you use it or you lose it. Continue getting chiropractic care so that your joints stay limber and your nervous system stays free of interference. \u00a0 Do even some of these things and you will feel better.\u00a0 Do most of them and you will become younger.\u00a0 It is never too late to become healthier and more vital.\u00a0 Splurge on it!<\/p>\n
I invite your comments or stories about how you have become \u201cyounger\u201d.<\/p>\n
