Hi,
As you age you are expected to get older. You are also supposed to be at risk for several diseases. Things like Alzheimer's disease. Things like loss of sight and/or hearing. Things like heart disease, cancer, strokes and diabetes.
These are just normal things that happen when you get older.
I say BS.
It is easy to blame these things on aging because it seems that only older people get these diseases and problems.
Trouble is it isn't true on two counts.
If it was just the process of aging, then everyone would have all of those problems and diseases. But, they don't. I am sure you know of several people who have lived long and healthy lives.
Several cultures around the world live into their hundreds and continue a healthy and productive life.
Even in the US, there are sub cultures that live into very advanced ages while still healthy and productive.
And it wasn't so long ago that some of the above mentioned diseases weren't even that prevalent no matter what the age in this country.
On the other hand, we are seeing more and more younger people in their 30s and 40s that have heart attacks, strokes and diabetes. Heck we even have juvenile diabetes today.
So what is the difference if it isn't aging?
Well, it is a lot of things including our lifestyle and the choices we make about our diet and fitness routines.
These choices affect 5 primary areas and I will go into detail about them in the next few blog posts.
Stay tuned
Thanks,
Mike Val
