Often, I hear people report — well, more like complain — about how their mom or dad or relative or friend is "getting up there in years" — meaning they're in their 70s or 80s or maybe even 90s — and how, as can be expected, that person is suffering all kinds of ailments. In short, that person's quality of life isn't all that pleasant.
In other words, many people expect their friends, colleagues and themselves to age very ungracefully, if not badly.
But why does that have to be so? Who says as you get older, you have to suffer one health problem after another? Isn't it feasible to rack up one birthday after another but to do so while still having energy, vitality, a sense of humor and stamina? I believe so.
(Just look at Jack LaLanne, who still works out and has energy galore even though he's in his 90s. (You can find a fun interview with him in my book SUGAR SHOCK!)
Anyhow, I'm very excited about the inspiring, life-changing book, The 100-Year Lifestyle, from renowned chiropractor and health expert Dr. Eric Plasker, which provides you with valuable pointers, practical exercises and pearls of wisdom that can help you become a thriving, healthy, joyous centenarian.
Tune in this afternoon when I interview Dr. Plasker on my Stop SUGAR SHOCK! Radio Show.
We'll be talking about how you should:
- Choose quality-of-life motivation–not crisis motivation. (He discusses this on p. 25 of his book.)
- Undertake a personal energy inventory where you stop the energy drainers and opt for energy enhancers (pp. 37-41). (FYI, Dr. Plasker — who was kind enough to endorse my book SUGAR SHOCK! — categorizes sugar as a major energy drainer.)
- Take a 100 Percent Conscious Day, where you're aware of every moment and you approach your relationships from a place of acceptance, love and kindness; eat or drink consciously; etc. (p. 55).
- Determine which activities are killing you and eliminate them. (p. 65).
- Decide what self-care you should incorporate into your lifestyle. (Ch. 8).
- Plan activities that make you more in sync with your environment. (Ch. 13)
Impatient and eager to get more info? Order Dr. Plasker's book now and now listen to me interview Dr. Plasker on my Stop SUGAR SHOCK! Radio Show today at 4 p.m. EST.
Or, if you're busy at work during the day, no problem, just click here to listen after the fact.
One final word of encouragment: If you think you don't have much control over how you'll age, Dr. Plasker wants you to know that only 30 percent of how you age is based on your genetics but a whopping 70 percent is attributed to your lifestyle choices.
