Here is to Living Stronger, Healthier, & Younger

Today, for something a bit different I share an article I wrote as a contributing writer for Kuel Life. Kuel Life is an online community that brings curated information and shopping experiences for women.

Do you believe how you age is a choice?   

I do.

A bold statement!

AS A YOUNG GIRL, I PICTURED MYSELF LIVING TO 100 YEARS OLD. THE VISION I SAW LOOKED MORE LIKE A WOMAN IN HER 30’S. I DO NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I WANT TO FEEL AS GOOD IN MY BODY AT 100 AS I DID IN MY 30’S.

I do not believe we have to accept the false beliefs that as we age. The ones that say: it is inevitable to gain belly fat, suffer from joint pain, lose muscle mass, get heart disease, or worry about Alzheimers and Diabetes even if it is in our family.

The fabulous news is that 90% of the “diseases” and signs of aging are in our hands. We get to determine how we age, with fun, active, and positive lifestyle choices.

It pains me to see people accept their current health situation as fact.

Yes, I agree some degeneration is a given, but there are many proactive things you can do to thrive.
Ten Lifestyle Factors contribute to “Inflammaging,” where chronic low-grade inflammation is believed to accelerate the process of biological aging and diseases. Inflammaging may be noticed with more stiffness, feeling slower than “normal”, constant fatigue, and more than usual forgetfulness.
In 2020, at Kuel Life, we will review these lifestyle factors, how to stop and reverse their effects to slow down the aging process, live vibrantly, actively, creatively, and experience what I love to say is all the “juiciness” life has to offer.
