Three Steps To Aging Gracefully!
Three
Steps To Aging Gracefully
The human body is an advanced machine that fine tunes
itself and keeps itself running efficiently, you as the carrier of the body
(the embodiment within the clay shell, the spirit in the shell or the observer
in the shell) also have a big role to play in keeping the body running
efficiently.
There are basically three steps to aging gracefully and
they are:
1. Diet
and Nutrition.
Scientists have an expression called “garbage in, garbage
out”. Whatever you ingest or eat is essential to the smooth running of the body
and keeping the body in optimal ph level.
If your nutrition is based on healthier diet around
fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and food primarily supplying vitamins
and nutrients, then you are furnishing the body with the essential ingredients
to run smoothly and age gracefully.
On the other hand, if your diet is richly in processed
food, pastries, sugary food and drinks, alcohol and tobacco, then you are
furnishing the body with ingredients that lead to collapse of cells, tissues,
organs and eventually the entire human body system.
It is essential therefore to place your meal around diet
and nutrition that provides the body with the six essential classes of food.
· Carbohydrates
· Protein
· Fat
and oil
· Vitamin
· Mineral
· Water
Each has its function and collaboration between all in
the appropriate quantities will have the body functioning at optimal capacity.
None should be substituted for the other, each is a class
on its own with its own functions that cannot be undertaken by another.
You know that already!
Another step to aging gracefully is:
2. Exercise
The human body being the unique and advanced machine that
it is, needs to be fine-tuned periodically so that it functions appropriately.
Like the car engines, it has to be oiled and tested for smooth running so
should the body.
Exercise therefore is paramount to the smooth day to day
functioning of the body as it keeps it fined tuned. Exercise varies and
includes:
· Walking
· Brisk
walking
· Jumping
· Running
· Aerobics
· Jump
rope/skipping
There are so many types but to keep the balance for
people not used to heavy work like lifting, carrying heavy loads or who work in
industries, a simple exercise for between 30 mins to hour daily is enough.
It could be as simple as simple walking for 30 min to 45
mins especially for the elderly and the younger ones could do the other as
listed above daily for about an hour each day.
It keeps the heart pumping, helps blood flow more
fluidly, allow more oxygen and nutrients and at the same time exchange of waste
in the body and generally keeps blood pressure and Ph at optimal levels
allowing for smooth function of the entire human body,
The last step to aging gracefully is:
3. Lifestyle:
A lot of people don’t understand the danger posed by a
lifestyle of alcohol, tobacco and sugary food. It results in the following:
· Liver/Kidney
failure
· Collapse
of the lung and heart
· Diabetes
and heart failure
A better lifestyle of healthy living that includes no alcohol,
tobacco or sugar (to a minimal level) allows the organs nourish and function
appropriately giving you good health and vitality.
Herbal tea is a great substitute for sugary drinks and
alcohol.
Healthy meals with lots of fruits and vegetables better than
one with high dose of carbohydrates, fats and oil and sugar.
Water is the elixir of life and daily dosage of as many
cups as you can is therapeutic and healthy for the mind, body and spirit.
No substituting sugary drinks, colas and other beverages
in lieu of water. The human body is made up of 90% water and the body and all
the cells, tissues, organ and the entire system primarily run on water.
So you see, water is too vital for good health and
vitality.
Remember that moderation is the key to a success system
and that “prevention is better than cure”.
It’s a whole lot better to go the path of preventive
medicine rather than curative one.
Lastly, when you combine these three processes and make
them a part of your life, you will find that your health takes a new dive and a
new meaning. Life suddenly turns around for the better and where before you saw
only unhappiness, pain, suffering and anguish, now it’s all gratitude, love,
joy and peace.
Who wouldn’t just love their life to be like that!
You will find yourself filled with strength, vigor and
vitality that you had never dreamt of and all sign of malady or ailment,
disease or disorder or illness suddenly seemed to have vanished from your life.
Life suddenly becomes richer and much better.
But remember, you are responsible for how well your body
fine tunes itself and whether it runs efficiently at optimal capacity or poorly
at low capacity, one-one can take care of your body better than you can.
Whatever choice you make today about your body and your
health will report tomorrow as you age and it shows up as either you aging
gracefully or aging too quickly and poorly.
The choice is yours!
In closing, i believe the
wisdom below will serve you in life:
“Thank you God, for this
beautiful day today. Help me to always see your love reflected in each and
every moment, no matter how challenging life may be. Remind me to always look
to my heart for the LESSONS and BLESSINGS in life”.
Jean Voice Dart!
These words of Inspirations
from the enlightened ones will serve you even more:
“I wish I could show you
when you are lonely or in darkness, the astonishing light of your own being”.
Hafiz
“Within you is the light of
a thousand suns, within you is unimaginable beauty”.
Robert Adam
“Don’t you know it yet, it
is your light that illuminates the worlds”.
Rumi
“I am the light of the
world. You are the light of the world”.
Jesus
“Your heart is the light of
the world, don’t cover it with your mind”.
Mooji
Taking responsibility and
recognizing that we cause all of our core issues is not a reality for most
people.
Taking responsibility to see
life differently without justification, judgement and blame, rejection or
anxiety, fear or anger would really help you in the long run.
Every condition, disease or disorder is a spiritual condition
that has come up for review and to be dealt with and taken care of. Once the
lesson is truly learnt and absorbed, the conditions or situation reverses
itself and clears out and that’s when we say a healing has occurred and a
miracle has happened.
Every problem preludes a negative thought and mindset so
watch your thoughts and emotions carefully and guard them jealously.
Nothing can stop you if you have the courage, commitment
and the discipline to move through your limitations.
‘Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of that which
you truly love’
The purpose of life is to discover who you really are,
know and create yourself and experience yourself as who you really are (not the
body that houses you) as a part of the divine source to give and receive love
and serve all creatures of the divine.
As long as you don’t or you refuse to see yourself as a
victim then life becomes a challenge that you can overcome with commitment and
consistent work and it will pay you back handsomely.
A lesson you avoided in a past life will be forwarded to
the current life until you get the lesson right or understood the reason for
it. Each time the lesson is more intense, than the last experience until you
recognize it.
This is an interactive universe where we all work
together in each other’s lessons and life whether we want it or not or whether
we are aware of it or not.
Our fears always surface when we least expect it and when
it does, its better to face the lesson and conquer it.
You can take back control of your life and drive it the
way you would rather want it to be and have things and have things the way you
want it to be.
It takes taking responsibility for all the wrongs that
have happened in your life because whether you agree or not, you are held
responsible for all your:
1. THOUGHTS
2. WORDS
3. ACTION
Nobody wants to listen to your cry of wolf or denial or
victim mentality and it won’t take you far except you sit still, take stock of
your life and determine and desire to turn it around and that’s where and when
the answers or solutions come in.
If and when you are now truly ready to take back control
and look out for the patterns and lessons in your life to understand the mind
aberrations that are causing your problems and have taken control of your life.
That’s when the creative centers open within and you can
finally have the tools to help you change the course of your life and manifest
your destiny.
To succeed in life, you must refuse to see yourself as a
loser no matter what the prevailing situation or condition might be and you
evaluate what you can do to succeed.
The most important qualities are self-esteem, self-worth
and self-confidence and that you understand that you are entitled to abundance
in your life.
You can do anything you want to and be anything you want
to, provided you believe that it is possible.
Victims do not hold that belief!
So ask yourself – are you a victim?
Sometimes a little help from a Therapist or Mental Health
Consultant like myself and a host of others can help guide you on this journey
into an amazing life that is yours and yours only.
This is all for now!
