ARTICLE - ABOUT AGING, OPINIONS OF THE CDC AND ME
Basically, th U.S. population is undergoing a quiet revolution, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They predict that by 2030, the U. S. population aged 65 and older will reach about 71 million. This is roughly double the present number.
As those of us who are already classified as seniors know, the CDC recognizes the increasing health and financial burdens which begin to accrue with age. Also, there is a diminished quality of life and risk of disease and/or long-term illness.
However, as I have often pointed out in this blog and in other articles, many of which have been published on other websites, and on my website at nodiet4me.com, not all of the negative expectations, which are real, need be as negative as most people assume.
Again, the CDC and I are in agreement, they based on research and me based on my own life experiences.
A great amount of the very real illness, disability, and death which go hand-in-hand with the normal progress of aging can be controlled, at least to some extent, and, in some cases, be reversed. The most common steps towards healthy aging do not require extreme measures or esoteric potions or nostrums.
The CDC and I agree that some of the best steps to take include regular exercise, proper nutrition, avoiding dangerous habits such as tobacco use, proper sleep and rest, and regular medical checkups.
There are a lot of things about aging that make life hard, but we don't have to make life harder to effectively administer our own personally designed anti-aging program.
