Don’t Let The Old Man In (Episode 28)

Slow down.

Take it easy.

Accept the natural decline that comes with age.

There goes advice given for the last 50 years by doctors all over the world.

Now threatened by the latest longevity research, which outlines the six habits that distinguish those people in their 70’s and 80’s who are healthier and happier than their contemporaries.

Robin sent me a podcast from a Doctor William: (Ages 75 – 85: If You Still Do These 6 Things, You’re Truly One Of A Kind).

Here they are:

1. Keep your mind active (and drink plenty of water).
2. Stay physically active.
3. Make healthy eating choices.
4. Maintain social activity and connections.
5. Protect rest and recovery.
6. Stay independent and positive.

I am somewhere between three and four out of six.

Not good enough.

Must try harder.
