Now It’s Up to You

The nice thing about the anti-aging techniques given in this text is that you can use any of them individually, and it will make a difference in your life. But if you use more than one of them, or all of them, the effect is so much greater than the sum of the individual parts. There is a synergistic effect, with each technique in our strategy mutually and simultaneously strengthening the others.

Modern thinking is that is possible to live a healthy life way past the age of ninety if we pay proper attention to nutrition and exercise. Remember that, as we age, our body becomes less efficient at regenerating the cells that comprise it. In a nut shell, that is exactly why we need to be much more vigilant in supplying it with the necessary nutrition. We also need to remember that, in retirement, we can quite easily drift toward a much more sedentary lifestyle without the demands of the workplace.

Thankfully, a certain amount of stress is generally removed from our lives when we retire, but we must not make the mistake of thinking that it is entirely a thing of the past. It is simply a matter of the way our brains are wired that we can sometimes become quite stressed over minor things. That’s why we will always need some strategy such as meditation, relaxation, prayer, or some other method of continually redressing our spiritual balance.

But the really good news is that we can all live happy, healthy and very long lives if we take onboard the challenges, and adjust our lifestyle in the ways we have discussed.

Here’s wishing you many happy years of good health.
