When we are young we see ourselves as indestructible. We know it all by the age of 18. We really have no perception of what the future holds and come to the conclusion that we will not see old age. I'm talking about my generation which still holds true in today's world.
Nowadays you hear how people are healthier at 30 than they were at 20, and healthier at 40 than they were at 30, and healthier at 50 than at 40, and you get the picture. My question would be when did you find your "real" fountain of youth? When did you wake up to the fact that you can live a better life with a healthier lifestyle if you just change your ways?
That time is when your body started healing itself!
The real thing you can't change about your life is heredity. What you inherited from your parents, grandparents and so on, that you have no control over. Diseases, longevity, addictions, are a few that come to mind. I, for example, being from the Mediterranean region, have inherited thalassemia. The sad part is that my doctor didn't find this until my late 40s and I had it all my life. This may be a future topic!
So yes, I am healthier today than I was 10 years ago and I have overcome some major obstacles that have set the path for my overall health. I quit smoking, started eating better and getting into shape, and I've also maintained my body.
There are ways to live healthy and add years to your life. Since you can't really change the heredity part, there are other ways to live long and have good health!
A factor that might not be considered when it comes to all aspects of our lives are our hormones. Some may need a hormonal reset to start seeing benefits in the whole body.
