At the heart of growing younger and live longer is the ability to reverse aging.  People don't tend to rust out as much as they wear out.  Change starts with your perception of time and your own aging process.  What you do and don't do affects your biological age.  Age really is just a number.  You may look 40 but you are actually 55.  Or you can look 55 and actually be 40.  Your chronological age is different from your biological age.  So how are you aging?  As we mature, we must be willing to tap into our personal truths and the wisdom of the ages handed down to us from our elders.  Maturity allows us to lovingly care for ourselves.  Here are some important things that can make all the difference in your ability to relax, renew and "Age with Grace,"  because life should be simple, stress free and easy.  Remember aging is an experience that we all hope to have.  Your goal should be to live longer and retire stronger. 

• Rest - Allowing yourself to have regular periods of physical renewal through rest by improving the quality of your sleep.  Remove the TV from your bedroom, no radios while sleeping, the darker the room the better for sleeping.
• Nutrition - It is important to understand how to eat to live.  Eat with a nutritional purpose in mind.
• Micronutrients - The science today has proven the importance of even small amounts of nutrients have the ability to reverse aging, such as the building blocks of proteins, enzymes, hormone production, immune function, repair and growth of muscle and neurotransmitter production.  READ MORE . . .
• Breath and Relax - Mind and body coordination through deep breathing and relaxation is very refreshing. So do it often.
• Exercise - Regular exercise promote better health.  Regular walking with a friend or loved one just feels good to do.
• Elimination - Poor bowel eliminations, stress, toxic emotions, negative relationships, stressful work environment and especially low nutrient foods should be identified and addressed. 
• Biological Creativity - The more creative you are, the more youthful you will continue to feel.  Find your passion and follow it.
• Love - Keeps you feeling young.  Sex and intimacy are keys to feeling a sense of wholeness in a healthy committed relationship.  Sex not only feels good to you it's good for you.  If you value and nurture your loving relationship, it really does get better with age.   
• Grow Young - Learning how to feel young through youthful and healthy play makes life worth living.  People who enjoy playing together enjoy staying together.  Learn to value and enjoy your personal friendships. 
• Nurture the inner you - Learn how to take care of yourself.  Give up being perfect.  Live today with purpose so tomorrow will spring forth personal joy.  Get rid of the life that you had planned to make way for the wonderful life that awaits you. 
• Learn How to Retire - So why do some people go back to work after retirement when they don't need the money?  Because they miss the daily routine of getting out and doing something meaningful.  So what can you do?  Live well everyday and fill your life with family, friends, faith, love and positive ongoing pleasures that you regularly enjoy throughout your life.  Don't go from and active work and social schedule to doing little or nothing.  Enjoy your winters, springs, summers and falls and all that comes with them every year, not just when you retire.

• Have a vision of and for your future retirement.  Don't complain that you can't wait to retire because you are tired of working, and when you do you have nothing meaningful to fill that void.  Enjoy life everyday, don't wait until you retire.  And once you do, it will be just another day to enjoy your life.  Hey, learn to become a kid again!!

We are all born with a silver spoon in our mouths, some people just learn how to polish theirs.  Don't wish for, but expect positive things to happen and they usually do.  Is your glass half empty or is it half full?  Allow for the miracles in your life to occur, and express gratitude for them daily, because they are on their way.  Treat your life like a long interesting novel, and live in the chapter that you are in at the moment.  If you are 65 and want to return to school for a degree, do it.  If you have an unfulfilled dream, got for it.  Learn to live and love the skin you are in.  When you love you, others will love you too!

Here are just a few suggestions on how you can decrease physical aging.  Three of the most important things that you can do to slow the aging process are to:

• Cleanse your internal body systems by drinking enough water daily. 
• Cleansing your colon by increasing dietary fiber. 
• Correct poor bowel terrain. 

Colon hygiene and correcting the imbalance in bowel flora are very important to your overall health and continued wellness.  As I have heard it stated numerous times, "Death begins in the Colon."   Remember when you take good care of your colon and your colon will take good care of you.

So what can you do to promote a healthy future?  Click H E R E and read a further explanation on the importance of colon hygiene and how including this simple process into your daily routine can not only slow the aging process but can promote much better health overall.  Colon hygiene and improved bowel terrain are right up there with drinking enough water (hydration) daily, and bowel movements (eliminations) are equally important as well.  Your life truly does depend on these three things to promote improved overall health and to slow the aging process. 

Research has shown that there is no diet that guarantees that you will live longer.  Research has also show that eating less, loosing weight and maintaining a thin body structure will increase your life span.  But there are five things that people can do to promote healthy aging.  

• Start exercising.  Find a friend to work out with.  Having someone that you are accountable to help you to stay committed.  Start simply, but simply start.
• Balance your eating habits.  Eat 5 - 6 small nutrient packed meals a day and drink plenty of water.  In your waking hours, a minimum of drink 8 - 10 glasses (8 oz) of water.  Ideally we should all drink 1/2 of our body weight in ounces daily for optimal health.
• Balance your life.  Look at the things that cause you stress and begin to eliminate them.
• Love yourself - Taking care of yourself is one of the healthiest things that you can do.  Get a massage, call an old friend, get out and have some fun, get out into the sun, read that new book.  Set aside one afternoon once or twice a month just for you.  Have a special date with your (marriage) mate. 
• Balance your hormones.  Find a doctor in your area that offers "NATURAL" hormone testing and provides bioidentical Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy.  "Men and women" need to have this done.  Yep, men go through the change too.  Men go through what is called Andropause and women go through Menopause.  Balanced hormones means better health as you age.  READ MORE . . .
