Aging is no fun. Aches… pains… weird changes in your body… unwelcome changes in your life. What the heck happened to that young, vibrant person who used to wink back at you in the mirror?
If you are a baby boomer and you care about staying young and alive, stick around. You’ll enjoy the topics and discussions that happen here. They are widely varied… some are lively, some controversial, some are just plain fun, and I’m certain you’ll discover something to help you live a healthier, happier, more balanced life!
To give you an idea of what I’m talking about, here are the main categories covered.
- anti aging
- healthy eating
- nutrition
- lifestyles
- spirituality
- healthy sex
- meditation & yoga
- a few surprises!
Each category will have lots of related articles and discussion. Feel free to join in any old time.
If you’re looking for something a little different, check out www.Boomer-Life.com (coming soon!). It covers trends, culture, resources, issues, comments and discussions by and for baby boomers. It’s a pretty cool place!
Anyway, back to this site.
It’s often said that you can’t stop the aging clock. Maybe not. But studies show — and I happen to be a strong believer — that there are lots of ways to slow it down. One of the ways you can do this is through your thoughts… what’s inside your head.
For example, if you think of yourself as old, that may be your reality. Would you like a different reality? Adjusting your attitude might make all the difference.
That isn’t to say a simple attitude adjustment will make you young again. I’m simply suggesting that what’s good for the brain is good for the body. There’s plenty of science to suggest that good brain fitness can promote good physical health.
That makes a lot of sense. Think about it… do you know anyone with a gloomy attitude who is vibrant, healthy and happy? Hmmm…
We’ve all had days or even longer periods when we felt blue or angry about something. Have you noticed that frame of mind is usually accompanied by some sort of physical malady? It even zaps your energy supply. But amazingly, as soon as your mood lifts, the physical aches and pains disappear and energy is restored!
I don’t know about you, but I find it pretty strange to be in mid-life. Although there are lots of perks and I like being part of the baby boomer generation, it’s hard to believe the age shown on my driver’s license is correct!
You may feel old sometimes, but don't fall prey to those negative thought patterns. Instead, keep your mind focused on staying young and vibrant. It will make a huge difference.
John, you're definitely on the right track with the addition of supplements. I think it's nearly impossible to take in all the nutrients the body needs through diet alone. Jean Carper's formulations appear to be high-quality... very important. You might also be interested Life Extension formulations. I've been using their products for nearly a decade and have been extremely pleased. They also publish a huge amount of data on anti-aging. The website is at www.lef.org.
Thanks for stopping by and adding your thoughts today, John!

You are absolutely right...it is strange to find myself at mid-life. I agree with you brain fitness is going to be one of the keys to our staying physically healthy and staving off old age as long as possible. I'm exercising more, I'm working crossword puzzles, I've even got my wife to teach me how to needlepoint -- it's not real manly, but it does give the brain a workout. I've notice a difference after all my efforts. I've also had good results with anti-aging supplements. My favorite is Jean Carper's Multi Nutrient Formula GOLD PowerPak . It has one of the most powerful anti-aging protection available and combines her Multi Nutrient Formula GOLD, Omega-T Fish Oil and High Antioxidant Green Tea Extract. By geting the Anti-Aging PowerPak at the discounted price I save up to $300 per year compared to purchasing each of those products individually each month. Before I tried it, I'd always poo-pooed supplements, but I'm sold!
