Tips to Help You Age Immortally

With my birthday right around the corner, and the thought of becoming one year older, I’m beginning to think about going on to the next phase, in the evolution of my health.  I’ve been inspired recently by a truly brilliant woman, her name is Leslie Kirchmeier, and I met her through USAloeâ„¢.  Recently I attended two of her Living Foods classes in Fallbrook, CA, which inspired me to go through my home  this weekend and give away all my kitchen gadgets and miscellaneous household appliances, in order to justify buying a Vita-mix :-) .  Once I get it and a quality food processor, then I’m equipped with the “proper tools”, as Leslie’s husband Steven put it, to start following even more of a Raw Food lifestyle.  

With the love and encouragement of my fiance’, I have, over the last several years, become a completely different person in terms of my diet and lifestyle.  I thank God everyday for making our paths cross!   With my next birthday right around the corner, I find myself doing a  yearly health check.  Just a quick, personal assessment, of how I feel in comparison to this time last year.  Don’t get me wrong, I love birthdays! People show you how much they care by calling and wishing a well.  You realize how blessed you really are!   At the same time, you start to think about your own mortality, your health!

If we want to stay healthy as we age, there are some things we can all do, to keep ourselves in peak condition.    Besides the really obvious,  like not drinking too much or smoking.  And learning to enjoy all things in moderation and flow with the journey of life. 

Here is a list of six things, to keep you fit as a fiddle: 

  1. Decrease the amount of calories that you eat.  Increase the amount of lean protein, which doesn’t neccesarily need to be animal.  Also decrease or eliminate the simple carbohydrates.  Instead try new grains, something you maybe never heard of before, like Quinoa or Buckwheat.
  2. Increase the amount of fresh fruits and vegetables. You need at least four servings per day of fresh fruits and vegetables, this is where more is better :-) . 
  3. Get the appropriate exercise. You don’t have to become a gym rat, but aim to do at least three days a week of some resistance training.  My favorite is Yoga, any kind, especially hot! Then four days a week of cardio training.  Try interval type training, to burn more calories.  Just varying the speed of a brisk walk is  works well.  And don’t forget to stretch, that’s another benefit of Yoga. 
  4. Take at least a multivitamin supplemenmt daily, and wash it down with AloeAdvanced™  to increase absorption. 
  5. Some occasional sun is GOOD.  Most Americans are vitamin D-deficient.  The best source of vitamin D is the sun. This is not to say you should ever get a sunburn though.  Studies show that healthy amounts of sun have multiple benefits to your health and psychological well-being.  If you live in a climate where you are not able to get much sun, be sure to  get a supplement and take it with the AloeAdvanced™ too.
  6. Set aside some time, just to yourself, each day.  Quite time, with no distractions!  No phone, no computer, no company.  Just yourself, to sit back, relax, and meditate.  Start with 5, 10, maybe 15 minutes, or get a guided meditation, to put on your ipod.  That’s what I discovered, works really well for me! 

These six simple things will keep you hale and hearty, ready to take on the world!  You’ll be bright eyed and bushy tailed, hoping down the bunny trail of life.   With a little effort, your healthy habits will be passed down, thru many generations of your family to come.  Your spirit will shine bright, long after you have gone.  You will have aged Immortally!
