Becoming an Elder

 

Life as an elder is not always what they (the doctors) tell you it is going to be...

However, there are some elders who manage to reach 60-70-80+ and experience NO HEALTH CONCERNS...  and their retirement years are FRIGGING WONDERFUL with family, friends, traveling, and grandchildren.

The data shows that a vast majority of ELDERS do not escape experiencing medical difficulties after they retire, preventing them from having a satisfying retirement.

What is it like being an elder?

• People no longer respect you
• People look down on your age
• Your physical abilities decline
• Your immune system weakens
• It takes longer to heal
• You are more prone to sickness
• Your digestive system changes
• Your reflexes are not as quick
• Your memory fades

Body builders like Arnold Schwarzenegger, unless they keep lifting weights, which gets harder and harder to do with age, will have their MUSCLES TURN TO FAT.

Can you imagine how unattractive that will be for a female bodybuilder?

In addition to contracting cancer which many of us will do, other issues happen to elders as they age:

1. Heart Disease
2. Arthritis
3. Colon Issues
4. Liver Disease for alcohol drinkers
5. Lung Disease for cigarette smokers
6. Hip Replacement
7. Shoulder Replacement
8. Knee Replacement
9. COPD for cigarette smokers
10. Obesity issues

The problem with most people is that they DONT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT OLD AGE until they reach old age...
