Aging Gracefully

What if you learned that there were steps you could take on your own that might help you to age gracefully? What if you discovered that there were products that could help you recover from your chronic problems, or-better yet - prevent it altogether? You would probably go to great lengths to seek out these wonder treatments, wouldn't you? No sum of money, no amount of trouble would be too much, if only you could find ways to slow down aging. Yet there is no need to search out exotic locations for mysterious herbs, nor do you need to pay exorbitant prices for wonder drugs from the pharmacist. It may come as a surprise, but the best of all are as near as your local grocery store, health food store, farmer's market and (if you have one) your own fruit and vegetable garden.

Everything we eat, say, think, do, see, feel, dream, and imagine affects our overall state of health. It would seem impossible to control all these different influences at once, but by following specific knowledge and awareness about our body, we can correct the vast majority of imbalances now and prevent those that lie in the future.

As with anything in life, it is perspective that matters most. When we give up on life or on ourselves, we stagnate and our body begins to age. In Chinese medicine and in other holistic systems of health, stagnation leads to disease.

Stagnation is when something in the body stops moving. This could be an emotion, a thought, body fluids or blood.

If we take care of ourselves little by little, every day - no matter what our age - we can live fuller and more joyful lives. I strive to give people the tools to make small but significant changes in their lives, changes that eventually add up to big improvements. Unfortunately, many of us only learn through pain. It takes something really bad to happen to our health before we make positive changes. We are, after all, creatures of habit and change is difficult. It takes attention, work and precious time.

There is a saying "pay now or pay later". The pay later option is much more expensive. I prefer to pay now, not only because overall it will save me money, but also because I don't want to SUFFER and you don't have to suffer either. Neither do your friends, or your family. You are at choice.
