Healthy Aging

"Healthy Aging". What does this mean? It has been said by medical experts that 50% of all Americans presently 65 years old will live to be 100!! That's the good news and the bad news. "Unhealthy Aging" will bankrupt the country. Medicare and Medicaid will not be able to support the millions of baby-boomers who will descend upon the system beginning in a few years. Private medical insurance is prohibitively expensive now and will only get worse. How will you spend your remaining years to age 100 and beyond? Will it be in a nursing home? Hospital bed? Unaware of your existence with Alzheimer's? Sitting in a chair unable to get out from in front of the TV? Worrying about how to pay the light bill? These are real questions facing the aging population of the US and many other countries. Japan and Singapore will start down this road very soon with the US and Europe to follow.

"Healthy Aging" is the concept of growing older gracefully, not getting younger. There is no "youth pill". We should try to look and act like Sean Connery and Sophia Loren, not Brittany Spears and Brad Pitt. We need to reevaluate our lives in terms of health, of course, but also in terms of what we are doing with them. Jimmy Carter spends every waking moment of his life trying to better his country and the world at large. His politics aside, he refuses to grow old. We need to rethink the entire concept of retirement. People die at a faster rate after they retire than those who keep working at something fulfilling.

We need to care for our bodies with good healthy food, nutritional supplements to make up for the toxic and depleted quality of our food supply, pure water, clean air, sun light, physical activity (not necessarily formal exercise!) as well as continual mental stimulus and spiritual growth. "Healthy Aging" is a way of life designed to get us to that 100th birthday in a physical and mental condition to both enjoy it and remember it! It's not about getting younger, it's about getting older. Our Creator God has provided a way to achieve eternal life, you won't find it here on Earth. Live every day He has allowed for you as if tomorrow you will get to do it again.
