Get some kind of physical exercise several times a week. Go for a walk, go for a run, go for a swim... just move!<BR/>2. Do some crosswords or Sudoku. Read some intellectually stimulating books. Watch some PBS.<BR/>3. Be happy. Do something nice for someone else.

They laugh a lot, even at the most ridiculous things, especially at themselves. <BR/><BR/>2. They drink a lot of water, every day.<BR/><BR/>3. They make time for themselves to do something that they enjoy every week, and it's usually something physical such as biking, walking, and gardening. I'm trying to get my dad to get into biking too, although he as a pretty physical job as a mechanic. <BR/><BR/>4. They eat a ton of leafy green vegetables, such as spinach and collard greens, and very little food of low nutritional value. <BR/><BR/>5. They READ!!!! <BR/><BR/><BR/>On another note, I did not know that black tea helps with migraines. That is a very helpful tip :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-1872231579221100282008-04-24T23:07:00.000-04:002008-04-24T23:07:00.000-04:00That is such a fancy-looking bike!

I like to color sometimes, or write silly stories about my friends, or blow bubbles in a glass of milk with a straw (I taught my nephew this trick and my sis was less than amused). Mostly, though, my favorite thing ever, is dancing like a goofball. I have kind of stolen Ellen DeGeneres' theory, and I try to dance a little every day. Even if it is just in my car.Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02889603882259256735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-66151773312009761262008-04-24T19:04:00.000-04:002008-04-24T19:04:00.000-04:00Well, since inside I always feel 23, but my body a...Well, since inside I always feel 23, but my body and attitude and PRs are far younger now at 51, I figure I'll keep getting younger as I get older.

Every time I sit down with my 8 year old daughter and say ok, what do you want to do today--and really mean it--I end up having the time of my life! Her favorite is to play "cooking show" where, while we're cooking dinner, we pretend that we're on an actual t.v. cooking show. Yes, it's silly. And I feel ridiculous when my husband, "Dr. Marinade", walks by laughing at us, but it reminds me that life's about making the most out of the every day activities (like preparing dinner) and having fun with the ones you love the most.

Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen. Stay out of the sun at peak hours when the sun is it's brightest. Years of sun worshipping ages your skin.<BR/><BR/>- Drink water every day. Water hydrates your skin, again very important.<BR/><BR/>- Eat more organic and fresh and less lab coat created foods. Eliminate processed foods as much as possible. Your colon will thank you dearly.<BR/><BR/>- Put on your sneakers. Once those puppies are on, you gotta move.<BR/><BR/>- Empty out your emotional baggage and clean up the attic of your "I'll deal with this later" emotional past. People get old and crotchety because they start accumulating too much emotional pain and not deal with it. The initial cleaning will be tough, but once you get things nice and organized life becomes so much more joyful. Stress and baggage ages you. Peace, calmness, and good laughter keeps you youthful and alive!<BR/><BR/>- Start doing your life purpose work. When you do something that has meaning to you and the world, your life opens up in ways you'd never imagine. It's beautiful!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-62056196670610075562008-04-23T23:05:00.000-04:002008-04-23T23:05:00.000-04:00I stay young by skateboarding and playing on the j...I stay young by skateboarding and playing on the jungle gym.

Don't be afraid to pull the car over on hot summer days and play in a sprinkler (even if it isn't yours). Have ice cream sundaes for dinner on occasion. Play in the mud or climb a tree. Dance around your livingroom when no one else is home (or even if someone is, then grab a partner). <BR/><BR/>Just have fun, don't take life or yourself too seriously!Ennocencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06415444536235460217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-14712791248625608902008-04-23T16:28:00.000-04:002008-04-23T16:28:00.000-04:00How to stay young and active?Move whenever you thi...How to stay young and active?<BR/><BR/>Move whenever you think about moving. If you're sitting on the couch and you think "I should be doing something right now"; go and do something, anything. Run when you feel like running, sing when you feel like singing and don't compare yourself to other people, it may lower your expectations for yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-2512266530063104902008-04-23T14:18:00.000-04:002008-04-23T14:18:00.000-04:00My advice, other than staying out of the sun if yo...My advice, other than staying out of the sun if you are vain about your complexion, is to sing a lot and dance a lot.<BR/><BR/>Singing should not be left to the professionals, any more than sex should be left to the professionals. Even if you only sing to yourself--you should let 'er rip often. Just think about all the studies coming out about stroke speech recovery, and alzheimers therapy, etc. Singing is good for your health. If you can't stand the sound of your voice, think about taking some lessons. I'm a professional singer, but I love teaching even remedial students.<BR/><BR/>And of course, dancing--the benefits are obvious. Even if you only dance for yourself.<BR/><BR/>And by the way, it should be against the law for anyone to make fun of anyone's singing or dancing.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12785796365378274088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-34256691933002659212008-04-23T14:00:00.000-04:002008-04-23T14:00:00.000-04:00Oi, I'm late in the game.

But here's my tardy two cents: Remember to play — whether it's playing tag, getting muddy in a rainstorm or dancing around to bad music by yourself in your apartment. Maintaining that element of fun will keep you young and fit forever.

You'll get involved in a dog sport like agility that burns lots of energy chasing around an obstacle course after your dog but also is kind of an aggravating hobby in the same way that golf is. Then you need another high energy dog because competing with one dog is boring and next thing you know you have 3 high energy dogs and you find yourself exhausted exercising them all and keeping them entertained. Wait, maybe that's a way to age yourself prematurely. Sorry, maybe I'm not much help here but c'mon, who doesn't want a new bike?Elaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02734583197185810124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-60212704253694441562008-04-23T12:20:00.000-04:002008-04-23T12:20:00.000-04:00I think that swimming is a great way to stay young...I think that swimming is a great way to stay young and active.

Don't be afraid to try new exercises or new foods to keep yourself healthy. Don't be afraid to find new things that support the life you want - new friends, new books, new activities, and new places to live can all be excellent ways of getting what you need. Don't be afraid to try something that you've always wanted to do, be it oil painting, trapeze, or flying planes. Don't be afraid to laugh and be silly and have fun - laugh lines don't make you look old, but frown lines can. And most of all, don't be afraid to laugh at yourself while you're doing all your new things that help you to feel good - taking yourself too seriously will undermine all of this good work.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00147961843509550213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-39729107775839418822008-04-23T11:38:00.000-04:002008-04-23T11:38:00.000-04:00Staying young?
