Elder Health

Driving Seniors Drive Longer

By this time, you should understand that there are two completely different ‘health tracks’ to aging. On the traditional track, you would be slow, flabby, achy and forgetful. Unless Alzheimer’s has taken your mind completely you would have enough brain power to know you’re slipping. You would be scared about the next few years, scared about the next big accident, scared about life in general.

On the alternate track, you are lean, active, and happy. Your mind is sharp due to good health, good nutrition, and intellectual activities. You have a warm circle of friends who do fun things together. You are independent and loving the freedom that comes from retirement and maturity. You finally know better and are still young enough to use the knowledge wisely.

The great thing about the second track is that it has dozens of on-ramps. You can choose to leave the ‘traditional’ aging process behind no matter how old you are. That great lion of age may have you in his jaws. He may be dragging you off into his cave to have his way with you, but you don’t have to go quietly. You don’t even have to go quickly. All of us age—but you can choose how quickly it happens.

Beat Back the Lion

Your body is an amazing thing. It may have suffered through sixty-plus years of abuse, but given half a chance it will shake off atrophy and disease and become strong and healthy. Have you ever heard of the bird called the phoenix? It bursts into flames in its old age, and then emerges from the flames, born anew.

Now, you won’t burst into flame. But if you fuel the fires of exercise and good eating habits, you can rise out of a weak, frail, old age. You can become strong, healthy, and happy. All you have to do is follow the guidelines in this book. Use it as a jumping off point. Don’t be afraid to experiment. If you want to be more youthful, you must change both your body and your mind.

What are the two things that set young people apart from everyone else? They have a lot of energy, and they are curious about the world.

Cultivate curiosity. Besides getting in shape, it is the number one way to keep yourself young. Studies have shown that a higher level of education can lower your risk for developing Alzheimer’s. Even if you never finished college (or barely scraped by in high school) it isn’t too late to take college classes.

‘Use it or lose it’ has special meaning for you. Just as your muscles waste away if you don’t use them, your brain synapses start fading if you don’t use them. Again, this is not a cure for Alzheimer’s. We’re just grabbing any stick we can find to beat back this particular monster. If we keep trying, eventually one of the sticks will do the job.

Before beginning this or any other exercise program, consult with your doctor. Get a physical exam to see where you are in relation to where you want to be. Check to see if there are any exercises you shouldn’t be doing. If it has been a long time since you exercised (or you have serious health problems or a special physical condition) consult with a physical therapist about the best regimen for you.

Then go out there and exercise and eat your way to a better future.
