Ten tips to look and feel younger in 30 days
The Ultimate Fight of our Lives
It's an undeniable fact. We're all going to get older. The
thing we have to decide is whether we're going to age
gracefully or resist kicking and screaming! Maybe a
combination of both. One thing is for certain. If we
want to still look good and have energy enough to enjoy the
fruits of our labor in our sunset years, we have to do something
about it. The following articles have some great
tips on how to accomplish this. As for myself,
I'm Kicking and Screaming all the way!

Ten tips to look and feel younger in 30 days
by Barbara Morris
Barbara Morris, anti-aging expert and
76-year-old author of Put Old on Hold says Boomers can feel and
function like a healthy 40 or 50-year old for 25 years or more.
She invites Boomers to begin to Put Old on Hold by following 10
of her stay young rules:
1.Donate donuts to the trash and don’t look back. In 30 days,
you will have slimmer hips and flatter abs.
2.Know that you are an ageless god or goddess, so don’t ever
call yourself an “old broad” or “old geezer.” You will be
reported to Judge Judy who will sentence you to associate with
real old broads and old geezers. It won’t be fun. You will
regret having misrepresented yourself.
3.Be a juicy plum instead of a dried prune. Drink 8-10 glasses
of water a day instead of coffee and sodas. Caffeine sucks water
out of your body and makes your skin look and feel like crinkly
crepe paper.
4.For men: Shave all the hair off your face so others can see
and appreciate the good-looking guy you really are. Nothing ages
an over-40 man more than facial hair and long locks. And one
more thing: The “t” in tattoo stands for “trash” so don’t trash
your body with permanent images. Think ahead: “I’m a stud”
emblazoned across your biceps won’t impress caretakers when you
are in diapers in a nursing home.
5.Instead of fast food, have homemade protein drinks. Keep them
in a cooler in the car or office. Take a multiple vitamin at
least once a day to boost energy and replace nutrients lost in
processed foods. 6.Eat salmon at least twice a week. The Omega-3
fatty acids in salmon will brighten and firm your skin.
7.Switch to whole grain bread. It doesn’t clog your gut like
pasty white bread. A clogged gut makes you look gray and feel
old and cranky.
8.Walk at least 30 minutes a day. Get a treadmill and put it in
front of the TV. Walk through your favorite programs while fat,
flabby thighs tighten and tone.
9.When asked, “How are you?” always respond “terrific” even if
you feel lousy. At the end of the day, after ten “terrific”
responses, you will look and feel better.
10.Men and women: Work with an anti aging physician to get your
hormones in balance with natural bio-identical hormone
replacement. It will rejuvenate your love life and make you feel
ten years younger in no time.

The Ultimate Fight of Our Lives
by Bob Winn
Yep, it's an undeniable fact of life that
TIME keeps marching on. It certainly doesn't respect any
particular generation group which may at one time have
considered itself unique.
That is particularly true of the "Baby Boomer" generation of
which I'm a part.
It's profoundly clear that regardless of the vigor in our
younger years that we are steadily and slowly being attacked by
Father Time. Some of us it seems a little MORE slowly than
others.
So...what to do?
Do we just age gracefully or resist it kicking and screaming?
Heh. How about gracefully kicking and screaming?
That's right! I have no intention of just YIELDING to Father
Time. Of course I do know that he'll eventually win out but he's
going to have to fight me every step of the way.
I'm still of the mindset that I want more than I have now and I
certainly don't want to give up that which I already have.
Whether that mindset goes with my generation or it just comes
with my own particular life philosophy, I don't know.
What I do know though is that those of us who think as I do
realize that we have to be proactive about it. Unless we have
been fortunate enough to have inherited genes that seemingly
allow us to abuse our bodies without any consequences, it is
essential that action is taken before it becomes too late.
Until medical science comes to our rescue with measures to help
slow the aging process and perhaps even stop and REVERSE it, we
must take measures of our own.
For the time being, this means using two basic approaches:
nutrition and physical fitness. Both are important and one can't
be pursued at the expense of the other.
While the latter is very simple to attain by merely walking
(although not actually simple to initiate and pursue), nutrition
requires diligent study or at least seeking out those who are
able to simplify the process for you.
Sure, Father Time is going to win in the end but that doesn't
mean we have to make it easy for him. Let's let him share some
scrapes and bruises along the journey.
And let's hold onto our vigor as long as we're able.
LIFE...
No one ever said it was fair or easy. It is though the most
VALUABLE asset we own. And the best insurance policy for it is
health. We need it! This is the ultimate fight of our lives.
