How old will you be when you look at yourself as being old?
I'm 63 years old and think of myself as an older adult, but I don't think of myself as old.
What do you dream and hope for as you age?
Do you accept ailments and immobility as standard parts of aging, or do you work at keeping your mind and body healthy?
Your attitude toward aging will dictate how you navigate each stage of aging.
The day I found out I had high blood pressure and high cholesterol, I was given medication and told I'd be taking it for the rest of my life. That hit me hard. I decided there had to be something I could do to change my health, and I started making small changes immediately. I don't mind that I'll die one day. I just don't want it to be my fault.
Nourishing your body with whole, plant foods, moving daily, and challenging yourself to keep your mind healthy will help you feel and live younger.
Good health is possible at every age. You're never too old to start making better choices.
