Six Rules for Youthfulness
I have made a commitment to myself not to become a decrepit, senile, old burden at some point for someone I care about. I intend on dropping dead while dancing, youthful and gorgeous, somewhere past the age of 120. So, I developed Six Rules for Youthfulness for myself.
Do these rules work? The answer is yes and no. We are all accountable for our own successes and failures in life. Your success with these rules depends on whether or not you follow them. Unfortunately, people give up on all types of self improvement attempts for a variety of reasons. But, try giving these simple lifestyle changes enough time to work, and you just might surprise yourself with a roaring success.
Our attempts at solutions to aging and the related health problems have been disasters for most part, ranging from all kinds of crazy and faddish diets to obsessions with prescription drugs or exercise programs that we hope will have the miracle answer for our failure to live healthy. Is there a simple answer to getting healthy and staving off some of the ravages of age? Yes, but it takes a stick of dynamite under us for most people to go the simple route. Here are the only six things you have to do:
1.) Keep your brain healthy and alert.
2.) Keep positive beliefs and free yourself from stress.
3.) Make sure you eat all the things your body needs everyday, use supplements when necessary, and eat none of the things that harm your body.
4.) Keep all the plumbing in top shape: plenty of water, elimination, and plenty of sleep.
5.) Move your body everyday: walking, sweeping, dancing the salsa, or in the gym, it doesn’t matter,
6.) Take care of your skin, neck, and facial muscles.
Gee, that sounds simple doesn’t it? Of course, if it were really, really simple, we’d all be thin and healthy and looking like we were twenty. The hard thing isn’t the doing it; the hard part is the wanting to do it badly enough to stick to those six rules day after day after day….
