Title: How to stay young!
Post by: BaldBen on October 22, 2007, 10:59:03 AM

Just ran across these tips of how to stay young……..

1. Laugh & fun, don't be gloomy
2. Let bygones be bygones.  Dwelling on the past inflicts unnecessary stress.
3. Early to bed, early to rise, is healthy & wise
4. Stay lean, being just 30% overweight is bad.
5. Keep learning, reading & socializing – an alert & active mind keeps brain cells healthy.
6. Keep working, doing something you like.  Don't retire, it slows down your body.
7. Be the boss of your own life.  Letting others push you around produces stress.
8. Too many pills ruin your body, take just what you need.
9. Constantly alternating between weight gain & loss is bad.
10. Exercise, quit smoking and eat less fatty foods.
11. Do not worry about health & death, just get on with your life and enjoy it.

Thanks Ben, that is a great list.

My additions:
Give back (time, money, experience...)
Be creative (art, music, acting, build something...)

Great advice guys! 

I think staying active and happy are very important.  It all fits together, but those two can really help you keep the others in check.

Great post and additions.

I find that at 26 years old, I feel old and have been fearing Deaths cold grip will eventually reach out 1 day. Now that I am a father, I have begun to realize my own mortality and it is quite frightening.

I know having a child is a huge responsibility, but you are WAY too young to be feeling old.  You're at what I consider to be the ideal age -- you're not a kid anymore, but still a long way from middle age.  Enjoy it while you can.   :)
