You're smart. How do i know? Because you are reading this ;)

My bet is you know better than to make some sort of silly New Year Resolutions about losing your handles or trying to get those 6 pack abs using some funky new piece of infomercial. But you may not be thinking about this strategy. Instead of weight or fat loss, let's take a look at aging. Sure, your body is going to be a heck of a lot better off without excess body fat, but how is your body holding up over time?

Over the past century life expectancy has grown tremendously, to nearly 80 years of age. This increase has led to a surge in interest on the best methods to maintain our youth, and age as gracefully and healthfully as possible. This is probably due to the fact that we now die less from infectious disease, and more from chronic, degenerative diseases that if we were to make healthier choices we die less from these means.

How many times have you said or heard someone say, i don't want to get old. Well as I always say there is only one alternative and I can't wait to get older. I definitely age like wine. People don’t want to live longer with a poor quality of life; we want to live longer while maintaining a high level of functional capacity and high quality of life. I want to enjoy my age and I am doing so everyday by fueling myself to make it through the day and to have the stamina. This is where eating a balanced diet rich in real, whole, minimally processed foods, exercising regularly, minimizing stress and supplementing appropriately comes into play.

There is an absolute boatload of information out there on how to maximize your nutrition, exercise to improve your health and steps you can take to minimize stress. You can read until you can't see straight, you have to take action.

If your ready to take action or know of someone that didn't join that gym but said once again they were going to. If you are looking for a comfortable, non judgmental and accountability is high on the list, then do something now.
