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