Effects of Aging

I asked my friends on Facebook on what they would like me to say on my blog. I had several come with great answers.

Here is one of them by my friend, Tony Q. Che.   #BodyAches pertaining to Aging.


Aging is a process we all must face (if we are in that lucky class), no way around it. One way or the other it hits us, gradually. At first, grey hair starts popping up and then those little lines start to show around our eyes. Yes, those of us that fight the signs of aging, do everything from color to many types of products to deter Father Time.  Then comes the eyes, weaker and then those dreaded bifocals come around. Not fun but needed.  Eventually, comes the body aches and we (some of us) find ourselves slowing down from the pace we did a few years ago. 

All this is normal. There are many things we can do to keep Mother Nature and Father Time at bay for a time, but this is all normal. It's our right of passage. Some embrace it. Others like myself not going down without a fight/effort.

 This article tells us that body aches and pains are normal but also tells us when to go to the doctor for those un-normal issues.  

It's good to NOW take care of our bodies as best we can so that these un normal issues at bay for a time. Keep our minds sharp, exercise daily, get a massage. I can't tell you how much getting a regular massage is great for your overall health. 

Although, how we age is most part already pre-determined by genes but doesn't mean that we cannot take control and fight-fight-fight and be the healthiest middle-aged or elderly persons we can be.

Thanks-----
