Design Your Life to Live Longer Successfully
Brushing and flossing can make a difference in longevity. In living well through design it is important to take care of your self. People's definition of successful aging varies from person to person. What is your definition of successful aging? I am astounded by how many people do not want to look at aging. An associate of mine when she reached 50 decided that every year after that she would deduct a year from her age when asked. I always add a couple. Why? If you tell people you are 65 when you are actually 60 you can pretty much guarantee that they will respond with surprise and state how great you look! Actually, I tend to forget how old I am as it is just a number. I truly believe that it is not the number of years old I am but how much age I have in my years. I worked out with weights, run, box, row, stair climb, bike or hike five days a week. You would think that I must have a kick butt body but I don't. People would describe me as a large breasted women with big butt and big personality. My goal is not to be a super model but strong and in shape. The only centerfold I plan on modelling for in the future is AARP....
My personal goal and definition for healthy aging is to be of sound mind and body. I would like to be ambulatory and have vision as well as most of my hearing!
