It is awesome to watch those videos of those 100+ who are running in the senior games.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to get there?

A healthy genetic background is a good start – but research also shows that being positive, staying active, being able to relax, using a sense of humour, being organized, involved in hobbies/community, having a spiritual side, and striving to be a continuous learner are all positive traits that can lead to healthy aging and a long life.

It is important to understand how our mind and body work together to keep us healthy.

If the body is not healthy the mind reacts, and if the mind is full of worry the body functions are affected. The mind and body are so tightly connected that it is difficult and often pointless to separate the two.

Taking care of both through nutrition, exercise and/or stimulation, and rest/relaxation, the mind and the body will work more efficiently and in tune with each other, which should result in a healthier aging process.

Besides the obvious of healthy eating and regular exercise, one should also be sure to include:

• adequate sleep so the body and mind can repair itself
• 6-8 glasses of water to avoid dehydration which can affect one’s memory
• a sense of humour which helps to release natural endorphins
• a variety of hobbies to add satisfaction and enjoyment to life

I am fortunate to have several people in my family who have aged gracefully and where longevity seemed to be the norm.
