For me aging is, learning how to live the my physical body deteriorating. Nobody told me about losing my breath, equilibrium and memory. Nobody told me about the bone loss and osteoporosis from hell. Nobody told me about being numb in my hands and feet. Nobody told me about thyroid falling apart and dizziness and stupor. Nobody even mentioned the fatigue. And, nobody told me how bad the heart conditions would become. I now have a pacemaker and more to come.

For me aging, is the need to prepare for the inevitable. The body and mind deteriorate, significantly. How am I going to live in the state of aging. I don’t know. What I am finding out is that hydrogen molecular therapy slows down and can reverse bad cell growth. Whole body vibration plates send massage through the body to stop the arthritis and make life livable. The National Institute of Health says that Whole Body Vibration also restores organ function. I am taking hydrogen water to keep hydrated. I blend fruits and vegetables to keep my nutritional levels up and have easy digestion. Stay away from bread and sugar. Learn to meditate and pray. Start to reflect on my past and tell my story through video dialogue and writing. Sing songs about my new life. Aging is a new life. I am learning how to live the life of an 80 year old. I am learning how to take care of myself. Small walks twice a day. More reading and no television. Fresh air and sunshine.

Fresh fish, turkey and/ or chicken. No starches or sugar. Spend more time with people. Spend more time resting.

Spend more time in reflection, writing and storing the memories. I would like to have a pet someday

For me aging is …..
