Don't Give In to Aging
If you think you're beginning to see signs of aging, remind yourself: you'll never be this young again. Take advantage of every shred of energy, mobility, and strength you've still got. It's far easier to commit to fitness, good diet and common sense health habits at younger ages like 50 than it will be in your 60s, 70s, and 80s. "You are never too old to become younger.' – Mae West
Book Excerpt
War on Aging
Roughly 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 in the U.S. every day, and more of them are not giving in to old age. Like us, they’re fighting back.
Contemporaries and family may tell us we're too old to do this or that, but we're not listening. Sure, we're limited by some physical conditions, but we're also finding ways to work around obstacles and injuries and stay as active as we can, no matter what. We’re joining the Senior War on Aging and we’re being rewarded physically and mentally.
The New Senior Imperative
We include anyone over the age of 50 as a senior, since the aging process begins to attack us in earnest after that age. The new imperative for anyone over 50 is to exercise. Nothing else will do as much to delay the decaying process and eliminate many of the chronic diseases of old age. While aging is inevitable, decay is not. Our bodies and our brains depend on being active. We, the authors, Dr. Patsi and husband Rob Krakoff, both strongly believe that if you start now, you can stay fit for the rest of your life.
