Aging is the accumulation of damage to your cells, your psyche and your finances.
So take control of your health, happiness and finances. You can thwart and even reverse some of these damages.
Eat whole. Health is largely dependent on diet. Most of us eat an unhealthy diet that contributes greatly to our medical and psychological issues. Change to a diet that emphasizes whole, natural, less processed foods and limits consumption of any single food group (think grains). There are many. It takes experimentation to find what works for you.
Move more. And do it naturally. The sedentary life is also contributing to health and happiness issues. Get out and play in the fresh air and sun. Mix it up if you can. You may not really need more than that. But feel free.
Be connected. Enjoy time and experiences with friends, family and associates. But put friends and family first. Do things to help others.
Eliminate stresses. Some are unavoidable some are very avoidable, many are self induced. Stop doing that. And sleep more.
Be skeptical. Be your own advocate when it comes to health care. The medical and health care industry is a mixed bag ranging from brilliant and life saving to unnecessary and crippling. Question everything and search out credible alternatives before deciding on therapies. Make highly informed choices when it comes to healthcare.
Actively manage your finances. Plan and understand what your money is doing and know exactly why and how. Understand and eliminate drains on your money. Find smart, safe places to keep your savings. Find smart, honest, trustworthy advisers.
