Healthy Holiday Eating

.

With the holiday around the corner, feasting season is fast approaching, whether you like it or not and with this comes the difficult time to keep up with your hard worked effort to stay straight in line.
There are some tips which works for me and may work for you as well, providing you are serious about it.
Keep your exercise routine, watch your food intake, especially when attending a social function, or eating out with friends.
Holiday weight comes on quickly and it is difficult to lose it. Take one day at the time. Make adjustment in calorie intake in the days when you attend several parties dinners or brunch. Focus on fruit, veggies, lean protein and high fibber grain. Be selective at a buffet event. Take small portion of what you like and if possible stay away from creamy sugary salty things.
If you have to indulge, give up something in exchange. Lunch or dinner or afternoon snack and be willing to put some extra time at the gym.
It is not as hard as it seem. Enjoy your friends and family, keep moving. Avoid feeling tired and sluggish, have a positive attitude and enjoy life. It is shorter then you think.

My Growing Balcony Garden

My garden is growing very nicely and it gives me a lot of pleasure. I learned a lot from growing a garden. It thought me patience, discipline, and total relaxation.
Try it if you have a chance, even if you start just a few pots. Grow tomatoes, pepper herbs and a few flowers. You do not have space. Try a sunny window seal.

Harvesting your own crop grown on a small space like a balcony it gives a lot of satisfaction. Being successful with some vegetable and flowers which you can cut and place it in a vase will keep you occupied enough to eliminate to a point the feeling of loneliness, anxiety, boredom and anything else you may feel anxious about.

Eating right, going to a gym, and growing a garden is a life style changing, which is hard at any age. Much harder as you grow older, but it is doable even if you feel that is impossible. You want to live as long as possible, healthy, and independent, you have to discipline and motivate yourself to achieve it. Even if you feel you cannot, because you can.
So try it. You have nothing to lose and a lot to gain.

Aging Well and how to do it

Yesterday I watched Dr Oz show and to my delight he was talking and demonstrating, how to lengthen your life and aging well by eating the right food and exercise, no matter how old you are








I was delighted because he was talking the same thing I am trying to get it trough, but of course in a more professional way. I am just an individual senior enjoying the benefits and trying to motivate others to follow suit.
We all want to age well and live longer, not just breading and taking up space, but aging healthy mobile and independent. It is possible but you are the boss of your body and you have to do the work regularly and consistently. There is no magic pill, magic mantra fairy godmother, only YOU.
This morning I read in the NY times in the health section several article referring to the same subject
I will insert some excerpts from it





Exerpt from te NY times 1/16/10

The desire to achieve a healthy old age is laudable indeed, and will be even more so in the future. According to a projection of the century-long rise in life expectancy published in The Lancet in October, more than half the children born since 2000 in wealthy countries can expect to celebrate their 100th birthday.
But while much is known about how to raise the odds of a healthy old age, only a minority of Americans incorporate into their lives what is likely to give them the biggest bang for their buck. Like the woman in the health food store, they’d rather rely on supplements of vitamins and minerals, fish oils and herbs, perhaps washed down with pricey antioxidant juices.
In the next few posts I will post more exerpts regarding the right food and dexercise.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to post a comment. I will be happy to respond.

Slowing the Aging process works

Sometime I have droughts about what I am doing regarding aging , and then again something else happens and reaffirms that I am on the right track.
I wrote in my previous blog that my apartment is being painted and that the remaining room is the bedroom which was started today.
Yesterday and the day before not having patience until somebody shows up to help, I decided to give it a try and emptied it myself. I moved a chest, computer desk, filing cabinet, night tables, and boxes with stuff in it. When my son came yesterday all it was left for him to move was my bed and a writing desk. He was mad at me but I felt good. No pains of any today, slept soundly trough the night and feeling very good about it.
It works. Regular exercise proper diet, eliminating stress as much as possible gives POSITIVE results. By eliminating I mean not to make an issue about things we cannot change, work around it or get over it.
Right now I am concerned about my car, for the past two days it makes a loud screeching noise when in motion and I press the brakes. It is in the garage now and I hope that is nothing to expensive.
I wish somebody would comment something or ask some questions. It feels like I am talking to myself or to the wall.
