My grandmother lived to the ripe old age of 94. Her body and mind were solid up until the end!
Now My mother died at 95. Her brain functioned One Hundred Percent; all the way till she said her last good byes.
This week is my aunt’s birthday. She just turned 96; and she is in pretty good shape!
We have some “Long Live-rs” in our family!
Longevity depends somewhat on our Genetics, Diet and Exercise, but I believe it also has a lot to do with what you say to yourself. If you feel you are young you are! Attitude is so important in one’s life. If you’re moping about and being miserable; you will dry up and become Old quickly!
The Bible even mention lots of scriptures about Misery, and it’s effects on the body. For Instance in Proverbs 17 it says, “A joyful heart is Good Medicine, But a Broken Spirit dries up the bones!”
Not one to Brag, but I think I look pretty good for my age; and it’s because I don’t take myself too seriously. I Love a good Deep belly laugh, I love to laugh and I like to make people happy.
Laughter is one of the keys to Longevity. If you feel stuck and a little sad, start watching comedies, funny movies, etc; and for God’s sake don’t listen to the news!
Take walks in nature, go to the ocean, and put a smile on your face and let your heart fill up with joy.
Be Kind; and if you can’t make yourself happy, go out of your way to lend a hand to someone and you will see that this will bring you satisfaction and new found Joy! Be an Angel to someone! What a Blessing!
Our Health is our Wealth. I have been a doctor for almost 30 years now and I work very hard and I am diligent about my craft, but I know when to pull away and retreat for some undisturbed Rest and Relaxation!
I will just put everything aside and go to the Caribbean for a week or two and just allow nature to recharge me! Then I come back sharp as a razor and ready to work and heal patients.
Give my Office a Call today to set up an Appointment, if you need help with Depression and Anxiety. I can be of great help to you and your family!
