AGEING?

I am one of those people who have always kind of been at war with the ageing process. Which in itself is not a wise attitude to have :)

Consider for a moment that ageing is a disease. Remember Dr Chris Barnard and that research?

Ageing – the disease - can be viewed as the result of two key basal issues:



~inflammation over extended periods; and
~de-generation from repeated use.

Looking at the life span of the average body and the toll taken on - bone structure, joints, blood system, organs including the skin, etc Great results are obtained with quality nutrition and pure water intake. (Note to self) Regular moderate exercise and appropriate stretching can support the body tremendously and more rapidly rid it of toxins (which may cause inflammation). Extra weight places strain on both the organs and the frame.

The body requires extra protection under prolonged strenuous exercise conditions, as in the case of sports. Reducing our intake of foodstuffs with a shelf life is highly beneficial. FRESH is better and quick when it comes to fruit and vegetables (natures take-aways.)

I would say that we should NOT chastise ourselves by taking all the disciplines too seriously. However, applying good principles most of the time certainly does pay off.

At times we neglect our bodies because of ignorance or laziness. Sometimes emotional conditions exist that manifest in the physical body. It is possible that sub-consciously one may play out conditions that negate the good due to repeated, let us say ‘negative’ thinking patterns.

Ladies should be educated to prepare their bodies BEFORE pregnancy, so as to enjoy a healthy pregnancy not only giving their child a head start but also to protect their own body. No point in waiting until after conception for mom and dad to stop smoking and alchol intake because then the DNA of your baby is already in place.

I have practical knowledge and tips to share that I have acquired along my own journey. Contact me via: lucilleworth@gmail.com

Another great tip – use 100% silk pillow cases – beside the luxury this is beneficial for facial skin. (So the beauty sleep leaves less of a mark ;)

Probably the best tip of all is keeping one’s spirits high (mind the liver) by remaining upbeat, almost a childlike exuberance and in enjoying the PRESENT.
