Aging In Slow Motion

Life is Beautiful

2011-11-17T11:30:00.000-08:00

It was a lovely spring day the day before Mothers Day and I was going next day to get the flowers to transform my balcony to “Garden of Edith” as I do every year.

I felt exceptionally good, because two days before on my last Dr appointment all test results where normal and my Dr was very pleased and encouraged me to keep doing what I do.

I was sweeping and hamming when suddenly a very dull pain in the middle of my hart, and I immediately knew that I was having a heart attack. I sat down bewildered waiting for it to go away. Instead, the pain moved on to my left arm and shoulder. I realized this is not going away, and I had better gotten myself to the emergency. I was alone in the house but did not loose consciences.

I was given an EKG and a blood test, repeated in six hours to determine if this was really a heart attack. It was. By evening fluid started to be build-up in my lungs, I had difficulty breathing. An oxygen mask, diuretic administered orally and intravenously restored my breathing in 45 minutes. It was a frightening experience.

Angioplasty showed 35% of deposits, so no procedure was necessary and after five days I was home.

I joined a four-month cardio rehabilitation program, very closely monitored the first month. It helped me overcome the fear and denial. It encouraged and supervised the exercise program and after the first month I joint a strength and balance class three times a week.

Today, I am fully recovered back to my routine, and the goal is to restore the level of exercise I used to do before. I am working on it.

The Right Prioryties may Slow the Aging Process

2011-02-08T11:36:00.000-08:00

Watching television I noticed that the frequency of programs dealing with healthy eating and exercise are increasing.
Michelle Obama the First lady is also advocating healthier menus in restaurants. What a wonderful idea, just imagine that all the fast food restaurants, food court eating places and regular restaurants would switch to serve only well balanced and nutrition food. Most people I believe would like to eat healthy but may not have the time or the willingness to do it him or herself. Now if they can buy it, order it take out, that would make a hell of a difference. Let’s stretch the imagination further. What would be the ramification if nobody can find or buy unhealthy food?
I think it would reduce the problems of obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol hart problems and many other problems connected with unhealthy lifestyle.
THIS IS DUABLE IF WE ONLY CAN SET OUR PRIORYTIES STRAIGHT.

SLOW AGING

2011-01-09T12:04:00.000-08:00

This is the time of year when I go to escape the brutal winter in Winnipeg and fly to Arizona to my winter escape, which I bought 22 years ago on an impulse.
A small gated retirement community, beautifully landscaped, well run and very friendly. For 22 years I was able to escape the harsh winters of Winnipeg, where the temperature could drops to -40C to -50C with the wind shear. Not to mention the difficulty walking on slippery sidewalks or to drive on slippery roads.
Unfortunately this is coming to an end. As a Canadian when I live the country I have to have an out of country health insurance. Being 80+ the price for it hits the roof. It doesn`t seem to count if you are stable, on a very few medication which hasn`t changed for years and being claim free for the past 22 years. In the out of country health insurance land all this doesn`t make a dent. If you are 80+ in my case 86 you better pay or stay home. I understand that if anything happens it is very expensive but I feel that a person who takes care of oneself, on a very little medication and no claim ever should have a fair discount. It sure feels like a punishment. I could live comfortable for the 90 days I go every year, for the price of the insurance.
So I take one year at the time and hope to stay stable independent and to put the money together for my escape.
I hope you all had a good holiday season and didn`t broke your resolutions yet.
Proper and regular exercise and the change of eating habits to healthy food is the secret to slow the aging process. It works for me and if you keep it up it will work for you as well.
Remember; only you can do it.

Holiday and All Time Healthy Eating

2010-12-17T11:31:00.000-08:00

A few more days and and we find ourselves in the most difficult time to keep a balanced diet and to keep ourselves from indulging. Don’t be too hard on yourself. The world won’t come to an end if you enjoy yourself only keep repeating one word “moderation” It will take you through the holiday and let you enjoy everything you want to eat or drink. Do as much sport and outdoor activity as possible, that will help burn the extra calories.
The other day I read something about fats. Good and bad and I would like to share some of it with you.
If you are planning to cook a lot this month, or any other time know your Good Fats versus Bad Fats. Here are some samples.
Good fats: Omega-3Fatty Acids the best fats on the planet earth. Omega-3 adds years to your life, reduces the risk of heart attack, helps reducing arthritis, depression and some cancers. You will find it in fatty fish like wild salmon, herring, sardine and tuna. Flaxseed and flack seed oil and walnuts.
The Monos. All monounsaturated fats are god for your heart by raising the HDL good cholesterol and lowering LDL bad cholesterol the artery clogger.
You will find it in olives, virgin olive oil, canola oil, peanuts, nuts and avocados.

Polyunsaturated fats also in the good fat category. Find it in corn, soybean, safflower sunflower oil, and fatty fish even light canned tuna.

Bad fats: Saturated fats raise blood cholesterol to artery-clogging level.
Avoid if possible, meat with visible fats, poultry skin, fats and dark meat.
Whole milk, butter, fat cheeses, ice cream and sour cream. Coconut and palm oils, lard and shortening.
Trans fats are the worst fats. They boost bad cholesterol, lower good cholesterol, clog the arteries. Can set off inflammation trough the body which in turn can trigger stoke or diabetes. Avoid if you can, processed foods, all deep fried foods, candy, and commercially backed foods.
Source :realage.com
Looking at this list, you will see that avoiding bad fats is not that hard. With a little imagination and creativity you can avoid that entire bad food, make healthy choices enjoy life and slow down the aging process.
Happy Holidays and a healthy happy New Year.

Happy Holiday Season

2010-11-25T22:00:00.000-08:00

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day and watched your food intake, if not go work out at the gym or go for a 30 minutes’ walk every day.
As the holidays approaching you’ll be surrounded with food and it is going to be tough not to indulge.
Don’t be hard on yourself as long as you watch not to over eat and take it easy when it comes to the sweets. The important thing is to enjoy your family and friends and being together. That what the holiday is all about anyway.
In my neck of the woods the snow has fallen and it is here to stay. Good time to have a good old fashion snowball fight.
I wish you all a very happy and fun filled holiday season.

Healthy Holiday Eating

2010-11-19T11:40:00.000-08:00

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.

Succeful Aging

2010-10-30T13:51:00.000-07:00

This week I received the result of the tests done at my last DR’s visit a short while ago it was perfect. All tests showed the right number and at the age of 86 plus, I consider this as an accomplishment.
My Doctor urged me to continue doing my routine, which I will and also will motivate anybody who is willing to listen to me.
It all comes down how important is YOUR health to you, do you want to slow down the aging process. You have to understand and accept that nobody will or can do it for you. It is only you, your perseverance and motivation. The rewards are big worth every hard minute you put into it and are never too late to start.
You do not have to be rich for this; fancy equipment will not do it for you if you only use it periodically. Walk, take the stairs one floor at the time, and swim if you can, dance laugh and very important, have a positive attitude.
You can do it and you will see results that I can promise you. If you have any questions ask me. I’ll be happy to reply
Once you establish a routine, is not hard anymore. I don’t even think about it, I just do it and so will you.

Self Help Motivation

2010-09-26T11:46:00.000-07:00

Self discipline...not an easy task to follow and many of us struggle with it even dough we know the importance and benefits.
Not many know that self-discipline can be strengthened and developed just like any other skill to give you the power to follow your decisions and stick to them so you can reach your goal.
For a healthy life style, you have to control yourself. Our limited willpower is like a muscle, the more you use it, the stronger it becomes.
I know people who after two months of regular exercise experienced less impulse spending, junk food consumption and smoking. Some also studied more and did more housework. The explanation must be that if you consistently do an activity that requires self-control seems to increase willpower. Makes sense to me.
Here are some tips which work for me. Get on a Schedule, have everything ready, this way you will avoid to debate with yourself to do it or not to.
Exercise with a friend if that is possible. It is more fun and you can support each other.
If exercising after work is too much, find time and do it first thing in the morning.
Have a positive attitude. Studies shows that people with positive attitude can muster more elf-control then those with a negative attitude. Listening to music that makes you happy, could be just the motivation you need.
Self-control is like a muscle. The more is flexed the bigger it gets. The more you take the challenge to resists temptation the more you build self-control.
You can do it.

You Can Eat Right and Still Cave in.

2010-09-14T14:25:00.000-07:00

No matter how hard you work at keeping fit and eating the right food there is always the danger that you cave in at some point. I know because it happened to me.
I am doing this for years, and I have no forbidden food in my house, I do not bake keep sugar, white flour or anything else, which would tempt me.
However, I found out that I am not perfect (what a disappointment).
I was at my grandson’s wedding a Hindu wedding. The food was excellent beautifully presented and lean and to my pleasant surprise, it was no sweet table.
It was a choice of two scrumptious deserts and it was served at the table after dinner. The person sitting next to me left before desert was served, to mingle with some friends who were sitting at some distance from me. Her desert was sitting on the table next to me waiting to be consumed. I finished mine and she was still visiting with her friends at the distant table. And I was weighting and fighting with myself not to touch it. 20 minutes passed and people started to go on the dance floor. Everybody at the table has finished eating. That was the only desert uneaten and it was standing out like a sore finger. The help started clearing the tables and I couldn’t let that desert go I ate the whole thing and enjoyed it to the last crumb.
Was I ashamed of myself....yes I was, did I feel guilty....no, did I feel embarrassed
Yes. Did I forgive myself...absolutely? I joined the dancing crowd and never gave a second thought.

Hindu Wedding

2010-08-05T16:54:00.000-07:00

I just returned from Toronto, where I was attending my grandson wedding.
Three hundred guests from four continents attended this formal Hindu ceremony.
It was like a fairy tale. I never was in a Hindu wedding ceremony before.
There was lots of symbolism, music, gift exchange. The ceremony took place in the very ornate ballroom of the Four Season Hotel, which was decorated with lots of light and flowers.
The groom wore below the knee length white silk coat over white silk pants and the bride a soft pink silk sari. They looked stunning, like a fairy tale Prince and Princess.
After the ceremony which lasted about one hour and a half was a session of photo shots and after came dinner and dance. Dinner was superb a choice of lamb or fish and two kind of fabulous desert. There was no sweat table and I was very grateful for that. Sweat table and all the choices they come with, is my downfall.
This is a multi culture, religious and racial union and both religions where honoured.
I am very happy for them and wish them a very long happy life together.

My Balcony Garden In Full Bloom

2010-07-09T08:29:00.000-07:00

I have promised that when my garden going to be in full bloom, I will post new pictures.

Well here it is. I may be boring some of you with all this balcony pictures. I am sorry if I do, but I cannot help it showing up with this accomplishment of creating a sanctuary on the ninth floor on a 60-foot space

It takes a lot of work and care. It is worth every minute. Sitting out there with a book, or a cup of coffee, listening to music, or taking a nap lifts my spirit and all the tension I may have. This hobby daily regular exercise and proper eating habits slows down the aging process big time. I know it because I experience it.

If you have space to do something like this I highly recommended, you be glad you did it

My Growing Balcony Garden

2010-06-24T06:33:00.000-07:00

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.

Balcony Gardening -- New This Year

2010-05-30T11:19:00.000-07:00

Finally, I planted my garden. It was hard work, but this year I was smarter. Last year from a lot of bending, I pulled my back and it took weeks to recover. This year I got myself a 4.5”x2.5” and 1” thick board. I placed it over the top of two chairs and bingo, I had a comfortable platform to plant on. This method reduced the bending to a minimum. Less cleaning as well.
It is raining off and on and I hope my flowers are not going to drown. I hope that Mother Nature will cooperate and then my balcony garden going to look spectacular. I will post pictures as it grows

This year I mixed some vegetable as well. I have one tomato plant, yellow and red pepper, miniature pepper, parsley and on the trellis, I planted claiming spinach, which is edible. I am told that it grows fast, one plant covers the whole wall, and it has little blue flowers. We will see. I already pick a few leaves and add it to my morning salad.

If you like gardening and moved from your house to condominium living and have a balcony or a patio,
create your garden. It is fun, satisfying, thereputic, reducess stress, keeps you busy and slows the aging process.

Balcony Gardening

2010-05-12T15:45:00.000-07:00

As the weather warms up times has come to plant. I love gardening and I always had a garden. For the past 20 years, I live in a condominium apartment with a 60-foot balcony. Every year this balcony becomes a garden with lots of colourful flowers, a trellis with morning glory. Last year I experimented with planting tomato, miniature peppers, and green onion and it was successful. The pictures I am showing is from last year. Every year the color scheme is different. I have 6 hours of morning sun a day, so I choose carefully plants that do not need full sun.

All summer I practically live on that balcony, I eat breakfast and supper there, take a nap, listen to music, and read. It gives me a lot of pleasure and work and it helps slowing down the aging process.

A Healthy Aging By Changing Life Style

2010-04-21T17:27:00.001-07:00

I had my yearly physical the other day. This always makes me nervous. I eat right and exercise regularly, but at 86 you never know what will be the result... and it was wonderful. All tests where right Cholesterol blood pressure. Sugar one point over the borderline. His parting words, “Keep doing what you doing your hart is very strong and you are in a very good shape”.
I walked out of that office on air. I work so hard to keep myself healthy and it works big way.
I changed my routine, I swim with fins on my ankles for resistance I mile three times a week. I work out in the gym treadmill stepper and different weight lifting machines twice a week. I do this regularly all year round, this is what keeps me mobile and fit, and it slows down the aging process.
You can do it to if you are serious about your health. It is a matter of will power,
Consistency, priority. Do it alone in a group with a partner. No need to spend a lot of money at all.
If you have, any questions ask me. I would love to hear from you.
I started to be serious about my health at age 75 and I wish somebody would open my eyes at 45. However, it is never too late. It is hard. You have to cange your eating habits and life style and older we get harder it is, but not impossible.
Once you start and becomes a routine, it is much easier. As soon as you start seeing, results that will keep you motivated.

Aging in Slow Motion

2010-04-12T18:33:00.000-07:00

To stay fit food and exercise is not enough. You have to set priorities, change the way you think, laugh at yourself and with others, and accept what you cannot change. Do not take things to seriously, forgive and forget. Life is to short as it is. Enjoy every single day; do not waste any of them. I just turned not so long ago 86. Seems to me that not so far back I was only twenty and all of a sudden 86. What has happened? War happeneed marriage happened, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren happened and all this so quickly. Every day is a gift and not only to the elderly. What you miss today it is gone by tomorrow.
If you can manage it, travel and see as much of the world as you can manage.

Healthy Aging, Your Responsibility

2010-03-28T11:40:00.000-07:00

Looking trough and organizing some pictures, I came upon a picture of a girlfriend of mine who came to visit me in Winnipeg in 2004 from Toronto We have not seen each other for years ,I picked her up at the airport and was shocked to see how obese she was. She lost her husband to cancer a few years back and never got over it. That contributed a lot to her present condition. She was medicating and comforting herself with food.
I looked forward to her visit not seeing her for so many years. I remembered her as a young vivacious slender woman, with a good sense of humour and I had a very difficult time hiding my shock and disappointment.
We talked about obesity, changing eating habits exercise walking. She seemed to listen but I wonder. She was telling me that life is short and I quote: “I will not deny myself the food I like just because I am a little overweight” end of quote
10 months ago, she died of a massive stroke, which could have been avoided She was 80.
She was in denial and many people believe that it cannot happen to them. It only happens to somebody else
We are what we eat and the hard work pays out on the end. I cannot stress it enough that WE and nobody else is responsible for our health.

Secret of Longevity

2010-03-03T07:35:00.000-08:00

We all have the desire to achieve a long and healthy old age and it is very

possible that the time will come when people will celebrate the 100-year birthday or more.
Already lots of people understand and live a healthier life trough food and exercise to achieve a senior lifestyle unencumbered by chronic disease and disability and living long and well.

In general, more and more people consume less red meat, saturated fats and eat more grains, vegetable, and fruits. A diet closely linked to low risk heart disease diabetes high bloodpresure and more is not necessarily has to be vegetarian only, but it should contain plant based foods and other products that come from animals that eat plant. The closer to the earth we eat the healthier and skinnier we likely to be. The Mediterranean diet is a good example.
Food is not the only thing to slow the aging process and have a healthy life style.
PHYSICAL EXERCISE needs to be added I know you hate to exercise, you have no time, is raining outside, to busy with your kids, parents pets and on and on....
You have to integrate exercise activity in your daily life style. Don’t think about it just do it.

A 30-minute brisk walk a day, it is cheap and easy and it is a good aerobic exercise. If you cannot get outside walk the halls, up and down the stairs, room to room in one place. Do not like to walk- dance. Put on some music and dance on your own or with a partner.
Stop making excuses, just do it, and discover the benefits of movement and the joy of a healthy living and consequently a healthier you.

Change Your Life Style With Healthy Eating Habits

2010-02-19T17:47:00.000-08:00

It took me over a year to really get it, I mean getting it in my head, that food is only to nourish the body and not to comfort, entertain, kill boredom or for any other reason we use for excuse to over eat.
It is not easy, but now that I get it, I am fully in control. I eat at the same time every day and I am hungry at the same time every day. I have omitted red meat, white flour or anything made of white flour. I eat two main meals morning, night, and a yogurt with a half of a banana or a hardboiled egg in between.
I do not think of food and lost the craving I use food only to nourish the body.
When I am in a situation where food I should not eat is at my disposal, I find it much easier to say no and walk away. I do cave in periodically but that is by choice.
Once you understand the importance of implementing discipline and you REALY want to take care of yourself, it is not that hard as it sounds. Your body gets used to the regular routine of normal eating habits; you see result and feel good about yourself and motivated. There are many food choices you can make, be creative, and find a way that it works for you.
Whole grain breads, sprinkle sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds on your salad, small portion of lean meat, fish, and lots of vegetable. Lots of fruits, apple, berries cantaloupe pears, and any other fruit available to you. Do not forget to add a handful of unsalted nuts to your diet.
Low fat milk, yogurt cottage cheese should also be a part of your diet. As I said before there are lots of choices and varieties all you have to do use your imagination and be creative.

2010-01-16T14:39:00.000-08:00

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

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.

Health experts agree that beside good diet you also need regular exercise because this two are the fundamental building blogs for a healthy life and for slowing down the aging process. As you get older the body changes and to have the right food and proper level of activity it is more important than ever to keep you strong energized and therefore reducing the risk for heart attack, cancer, and diabetes.
A good easy and cheap exercise is walking, not just occasionally but regularly every day. 30 minutes a day or if that is too much then 10 minutes 3 times a day.
With a little motivation, this is easily achieved. Find a friend to do with, park the car a block from your destination, and walk. Take the stairs instead of the elevator, at least one floor. Whatever you do make it an integral part of you daily living.
I am not selling here anything other than an idea, but I am doing it and see results and want to share it with anybody who lisseens.

I watched Larry King on CNN the other day. His show was all about obesity and how diet and exercise is the most effective tool to combat it. In addition, it works. Among his guest was a family of four and every person was 300 lb overweight.
This family decided to do something about together and by changing they life style are losing weight, pushing down the bloodpresure and cholesterol numbers. The buddy system works well all the time. I congratulate them and wish them well.
