What Age Has To Do With It
How often do we hear people say, “It is just old age. Nothing you can do about it.” But is it really? Do we really have to get sicker and sicker and die completely incapacitated? Can we age gracefully and pass away in our sleep or after a mild illness, after saying farewell to our relatives and friends?
History shows us that people can live in good health for long time, keep learning, creating and enjoying life. Socrates, Isaac Newton, Victor Hugo, and George Burns all had been active and productive way into old age. Michelangelo continued to create art well into his late 80s, Goethe finished “Faust” at 82, Leo Tolstoy was writing and physically fit until 82, George Bernard Show wrote “Buoyant Billions” at 91, John D. Rockefeller was using his fortune for philanthropy and writing memoirs until 98, Samuel Hahnemann,
the founder of homeopathy, fell in love and married for the second time, and continued to practice homeopathy until he was almost 90.
You can be at an advanced age and feel great, enjoy books and travel, watch sunset and walks on the beach, get your favorite dish from your favorite restaurant, and be able to digest it. You can be healthy,
productive and active at any age. Health is important, age is relative. You can be fit, happy and content at an advanced age and miserable and sick when young. What should we do to keep our memory sharp, emotions
balanced and body functioning? We can improve our health at any age, and here are my suggestions:
Eat well – avoid fast foods, junk foods, soda, sugar and white flour. Consider local, organic, and no GMO foods.
Just keep moving – be physically active. You do not have to lift weights or run marathons, a nice daily walk outside will do. Play golf once in a while, walk you dog (or borrow one from a neighbor!), play with your children and grandchildren, dance, do yoga or other activities that will take you away from that couch and pillow.
Think, think, think – read, write, research, discuss, learn something new, and memorize poems and birthdays.
Stay connected – stay in touch with your friends, children and relatives, enjoy their company, and join a new club.
Live your life to the fullest – find an enjoyable activity, collect something, travel, go to movies and theaters, museums and baseball games, or just sit outside and watch those birds!
Use Homeopathy – use natural, safe and effective methods of healing, avoid artificial chemicals and toxins.
Have a great long life!
