Slow Down the Aging Process

Excerpt from my latest free report: How to Slow Down the Aging Process

What does an old person look like? 
Ditch the cigar, Sis! Lol

Hunched over? Slow? Doddering? Shaky?

And how likely are you to see an older person in their 70’s or older go running or performing gymnastics? 

Not very?

Our assumptions about the elderly are generally fueled by stereotypes and perhaps the people we know in our own lives. But just because a lot of people lose their ability to move well as they age, that doesn’t mean you have to.

Consider Arnold Schwarzenegger, age 71, and Sylvester Stallone, age 72. These guys are still more muscular and healthy than most of us will ever be in our whole lives!  And there are Grandmas in their 80’s that can still perform top-level gymnastics, and at any marathon you will see a lot of elderly contenders. 

Obviously, these people haven’t subscribed to the idea of a ‘best before’ date. Actually, our bodies should be more than capable of lasting our entire lives. The problem is the way we use it and how we take care of it.

How Your Body Deteriorates:

Think about what most of us do between the hours of 9 - 5, 5 days a week. We sit in an office, hunched over at our desk, working. No doubt most of us will pick up some kind of back problems and this then signals us that we need to slow down and stop being active (which is encouraged by most people we know).

We spend our retirement also sitting down and during all this time, our bodies start to lose their flexibility, their muscle tone and their dynamic synergy. This is when imbalances arrive and it’s when we start to experience chronic pain.

Sometimes this is exacerbated by illness or inflammation but very often it is simply the result of a lack of use, improper movement and muscular imbalances.
