The Aging Process

At 76 years of age, I understand all too well the aging process on those who are not financially well off.

If you are wealthy, nothing really bothers you because you will always have the best of everything even though it might have taken you a while to get there.

As for the rest of us, we by default are not so lucky.  The wealthy say it is our fault that we are not wealthy.  Anyone in the USA can become wealthy if they want it.  However, these wealthy people fail to see flaw in that logic because it takes a SPECIFIC PERSONALITY to become wealthy and less than ten percent have that personality.

But what about aging?

Some of us understand this at 60 while other understand this a little older but not much.  

Why do I say it this way?

YES...  it is true that age is just a number.  And that it is possible to fool your mind into thinking you are not old.

How is this done?

• Healthy diet
• Exercise
• Pills
• No pre-existing conditions

I don't understand this, give me an example, you ask...

Ok...  here's the example.

Aside from normal childhood illnesses, I was never sick in my entire life and never went to the doctor for anything except my teeth, until I was 60...

• I had stopped eating red meat at age 40
• I had stopped drinking alcohol at age 40
• I had stopped eating fried food at age 40
• I had stopped smoking cigarettes at age 40
• I fast walked 3-5 miles a day - 7 days a week

What happened?

1. I was diagnosed with cancer
2. I experienced at triple bypass level heart attack
3. My cancer treatments gave me another cancer
4. I was left with low immunity, with anemia, and constantly fatigued

I can still tell myself that age is just a number and believe what I say but my physical body now sees my age and it is more than just a number.

My brother, on the other hand, is 68 and still has never been sick in his entire life, except for having COVID which left no side effects.  At 68, he physically feels like he is 50 years old.  So, for him, age is just a number.  He cannot understand why I feel the way that I do...  He might feel 68 years old when he is 88 years old...  and for him, age will still be a number.

BTW - he also has lost no hair...
