Anti-Aging Information

As you get older, you should inevitably expect to see a lessening in what you might expect of yourself physically. Realistically, what you have intellectually and physically won't be as strong or as quick; your endurance will no longer be boundless. If this weren't true, the average football career wouldn't end by the time a player hits 35.

Though no one has discovered the whereabouts yet of an eternal fountain of youth, the upbeat news is that there are always going to be legitimate ways to delay or just compensate for the aging process and even prevent some of the often-considered inevitable consequences of aginge.g., a reduced cardiac output or just how fast we can run on a track or swim in a pool.

Fortunately, a ray of hope these days is that we, as baby boomers, are not required to "act our age" as much as our parents and grandparents were. Think back to the sixties, and you'll realize that once upon a time, the notion of a 50-year-old rock star would have been inconceivable. Not these days. Mick Jagger, Rod Stewart, Eric Claptonyou name 'em they're still going strong. Yet suffice it to say that these gents don't live the raucous lifestyle they once had when going on the road. Mick Jagger, for instance, is reputed to work out heftily in order to maintain that requisite endurance for one of his Herculean "farewell" world tours. Adolescence may not ever have to end (in your mind, at least), but you have to work harder to keep whatever version of youthful energy you want to define as your own.

The fact is, sadly enough, that you can't prevent aging. It just happens. The secret is to make this reality as gentle and unobtrusive a process for yourself as possible. I'm a staunch believer in the adage "It's not so much a matter of adding more years to your life as putting more life into your years."
