Who here's really puts a lot of thought and effort into this? What things are you doing? What is working, what isn't?
as I get older (I'm 55 now), I hear more and more about people dying who are not to far away from my age where the cause of death appears to be "natural causes". When I was 30, 55 seemed old, now that I'm 55, it doesn't seem or feel old at all. And it really sneaks up on you.
I really don't feel much different than I did when I was 30. Mentally I'm just as sharp, physically I should be pretty close in just a few more months. I just have a couple of minor aches I'm trying to resolve, nothing that slows me down.
It's just crazy to me that over the next 10 or 20 years, my body and mind could fall apart. I'm going to fight that as long as I can.
For years now I've taken a lot of supplements to help prevent aging related diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's (family history), heart disease, etc. And also to slow some of the aging related decline. I think they are helping, it's hard to know for sure.
At the same time I neglected things like exercise because life of raising kids and running a business got in the way. Last year and really started putting effort into correcting this part. I talked about this some in my VR threads (I have great success exercising with VR). I've pretty much reversed all of the conditions I had to take medicine for a year ago.
One thing that motivates me is I see older people who can barely move. I don't want to be like that when I'm older, and decided last year that I was on that path if I didn't fix my weight/exercise issue.
I wondered what other people are doing, what's working, what isn't?
