Younger at 65
I just visited my doctor last week to review my blood test results and I was delighted to hear him tell that my test results were “The best results he has seen for a 65 year old in the 90 days”. He told me that whatever I was doing was showing amazing results and I should keep doing what I am doing.
The doctor was very complementary about how good I looked for my age and said, my blood test results were as good as most 30 year old males he has as patients. He then suggested I write a blog to help others who are looking to live healthier lives and working to get into better physical condition.
So here goes…
The first suggestion I would make would be to move and be active each and every day. I make it a habit to for a run, ride a bike, play tennis or golf, lift weights and stretch as well as swim during the course of the week. You may have physical limitations that prevent you from doing some of these activities, so maybe a good walk, stretch, swim etc. would suffice, if you want to get the blood flowing. A great book to read on this very topic is “Younger Next Year” which I highly recommend.
I also take several different vitamins, CoQ10, aspirin, a statin and a Probiotic every day to keep my body functioning properly and keep it from wearing down. My diet consists of daily fasting 2 or 3 times a week followed with a Mediterranean diet. Daily meditation can be helpful. I find “The Sedona Method” of meditation to be very practical and rewarding. It’s also easy to maintain on a weekly basis. The book of the same name is worth a read.
I hope you can use some of these suggestions in your daily schedule to help feel healthy each day and I hope to provide more useful tips in the days and weeks ahead.
