Age Well Expert Tips
People have asked me for decades how I stay youthful. When I divulge my real age, they look flabbergasted. So I began to dissect my habits to determine how I can help others in their quest to age well.
As a medical professional, it is my goal to help people age well holistically. My motivation stems from my personal truth that feeling good physically and emotionally is the foundation for living a good life. What we see on the outside is not as important as what is going on inside. However, we cannot separate the mind from the body and spirit. Western traditional healthcare is slow on the uptick of this philosophy but is slowly catching up. I’m here to assist you in achieving optimum holistic health as your Age Well Expert.
I started telling people that once I turned 50 years old, I began to go over my daily habits that included what I ate, what I drank, and what I did for movement. I started eliminating things that I determined did not serve my goal for optimum health. First off the list went processed foods. I discovered that if I ate processed meats, the next day my eyes would be swollen. That indicated to me that something in the processed foods were not agreeing with my physiological system. I researched and found that:
Eating one serving a day of processed meats like bacon, sausage, deli meats is associated with a 42 percent increased risk of heart disease and a 19 percent increased risk of diabetes. The swollen eyes were my clue that something I was eating was ‘not good for me’. Research validated this truth. So what we see on the outside is an indicator that something is going on inside. Incidentally, there was no risk associated with eating unprocessed red meat. And on another important note research shows that processed meat has an increased risk of Colon Cancer (a common cancer in the US).
So if you look in the mirror and see swelling around your eyes, and think it is just one of those ‘aging’ things, think again. Our diet is crucial for our overall wellbeing. Unfortunately, we have been fed too much misinformation in the spirit of consumerism. Come back for more age well tips and learn how to live your best life!
