Is it possible to hold back premature mental and physical decline? Is it possible to get to 60, 70 and beyond and feel and function like a healthy 40 or 50 year old? Absolutely. I'm doing it and others can do it too.
Gerontologist Dr. John W. Rowe says how well you age is 70 percent lifestyle choices and 30 percent heredity, behavior, and environment. That 70 percent gives you a lot of power to control the aging process.
How to fight "old age" and win
Putting Old on Hold begins with loving yourself, valuing yourself, understanding and appreciating that your body is the only one you will ever have. In a spirit of gratitude do what you can to keep it in peak condition and be an asset to yourself, your family, and society. Diet, exercise and a defiant, independent "can do" youthful attitude make a difference.
Steps to take right now:
•Right now, develop a vision of how you want to be at a given age. Stay focused on and committed to your goal. Believe you can do it.
•Educate yourself about what constitutes an anti-aging lifestyle. It's not too late. Bookstore shelves are loaded with nutrition and lifestyle information that will give you all the tools you need.
•Find a traditionally trained physician with expertise in anti-aging medicine and nutrition to guide your progress.
•Engage in rigorous positive mental management. (No more "I must be getting old" when you experience a momentary memory lapse.
