I am a big fan of Time Magazine. I’ve been reading it for decades now…oops, I am devulging how old I am here…tse, tse.

Anyway, here are some quick exerpts from the article that really caught my attention.
“Only about 30% of aging for most people is genetically based, which means that the other variables are in our hands”.
Great News!, as far as I am concerned. I really don’t know where I stand genetically since I might have excellent genes if I inhereted them from my mother’s side or really scary, crappy ones if I inherited them from my father’s side. You see, my mother is 76, healthy (well, no major issues just some arthirities), she is in good spirits, always smiling and joking and get this, she still smokes a pack a day….. Now my father on the other hand has been dead for alomost a decade, had several health problems starting from heart attack to diabetes to liver issues…go figure. They ate the same food, lived in the same environment and pretty much not exercised.
“The first step to longer life spans is to get back some of what we lose by living our overfed, overstressed, underactive lifestyles”
Talk about overfed. I don’t think most of us realize that we truly are overfeeding ourselves. You know it didn’t happen overnight. By having an over-abundance of cheap (and crappy) food available ready to eat all the time, what do we do? We eat all the time. Why? I am sure everybody has their own reasons but most of us don’t analyze it, we just do it.
Many of us are starting to realize that we are not doing ourselves any favors by overeating so we try and watch it and go on these crazy diets that screw us even more. What’s worse then we stress about what we eat. There you go: we have added more stress to our lives now and we are not even losing weight (or at least not permanently) so what the heck is going on?
There is hope! The key to me is to be aware and to constantly educate ourselves. Having a support group, a forum, where one can ask questions from experts and also share information and frustration with others is also great help.
