The Five Most Important Powers Mid-life Women Must Use to Stay Young
Copyright © 2004 Barbara Morris R.Ph
Put Old on Hold
http://www.PutOldonHold.com



Gerontologists say that 70 percent of the aging process is
controllable with the right lifestyle choices. Anti-aging
expert Barbara Morris agrees, and has written a hot new book,
Put Old on Hold that explains how and why at 75, she feels and
functions as a 50-year old. She says, “It’s easy when you start
early to make anti-aging lifestyle and attitude adjustments. If
I can do it, others can do it too. The traditional aging process
that our society has adopted unnecessarily relegates middle age
people to early decline. There is a better way.”

In Put Old on Hold, Barbara Morris, who works full time as a
pharmacist, offers plenty of “what works for me” advice. Here
are five of her “power tools” for smart women (and men, when
they are not too stubborn to listen!) to help control the aging
process:


1. Take control.

Aging is inevitable but getting old is strictly an option.
Smart women don’t buy into society’s outdated model for
aging; instead, they constantly grow and improve, defying
convention and horse-and-buggy traditions and customs. If
you don’t take charge of your life, and you just let life
happen – life will just happen, and the result will be
typical, fossilized old age we accept as normal.

Bottom line: Smart women decide how old they are going to
be no matter how old they actually are.


2. Inventory and monitor youthful characteristics.

Observe old people. What is it about their “oldness” you
would like to avoid? How strong and flexible are you,
mentally and physically? Can you bend and touch your toes?
Can you walk up stairs without becoming out of breath? Keep
and improve what you can, while you can! Youth makes us
arrogant. Every day we see a seemingly unchanging image in
the mirror that slips away even as we admire what we see.

Bottom line: Smart women stay aware of what they have and
work to keep it.


3. Plan your future.

By age 50, smart women have a plan for a healthy, productive
second life at retirement age because they know they will
probably live to 100 or more. In 1950, there were a mere
2,300 centenarians. Today, there are over 40,000. By 2050
close to a million people will be 100 or more.

Bottom line: Smart women maximize their future by protecting
and building their health, and visualizing their future.


4. Avoid the ultimate social disease.

No, it’s not sexually transmitted, it’s worse than that –
it’s self-inflicted, and it’s called retirement. Once you
internalize that you are no longer productive, that you no
longer have goals, decline sets in rapidly. Everything slows
– movement, reaction time, thinking, walking, talking. The
mind and body go into a shutdown mode in preparation for the
final event -- death.

Bottom line: Smart women rewire instead of retire.


5. Manage and fix correctable symptoms of aging.

For example, a slow shuffling gait, poor posture,
unattractive teeth, and uncorrected hearing loss. Invest
time, effort, and money where it matters: Buy a treadmill
and use it daily to maintain a youthful gait, cardiovascular
fitness and weight control. Get on an anti-aging diet, and
do weight-bearing exercise daily to stay strong and upright.

Bottom line: Smart women manage how they change with age.
