Aging and Your Health
Many of us are so very fortunate as to actually Age. So many of our friends and family have not had that honor, privilege, and pleasure.
Personally, I was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer (Gleason Score 4 + 4) back in May of 2010 but chose to DO something about it and Not die as the doctors predicted I would. Yes, those idiots gave me about 2 years to live a painful debilitating ‘life’ if I failed to succumb to their recommended ‘treatment regime/protocols’. (https://cancersurvivor.wf4hl.com/) I was with my father as he suffered and died, moaning in his hospital bed: “Why is it so hard to die?”. Not from his prostate cancer but from the horrible/debilitating ‘treatments’ he endured. See: https://skipstein.substack.com/p/why-is-it-so-hard-to-die.
There are many, maybe hundreds, who try to take advantage of US. Yes, many of us who age, suffer mental and physical issues. Some mental, some medical but mainly because we are aging and failing to DO SOMETHING about it to Live a Long and Active LIFE.
There are those who want you to do this ‘treatment’ or that one. Take this medication or that one; often with horrendous side effects to be endured. While some actually do work; many/most do not for the long term. Most ‘predictions’ by the ‘doctor’ will be for just 5 years or so. Many don’t make it that far but some do. Most who accept the treatment regime prescribed, most never bother to ask or RESEARCH alternatives or the side effects! There are many, MANY alternatives that have over the many years to be proven beneficial. Some I have listed here: https://health-healing.wf4hl.com/alternative-healing.html.
Doing your own research FIRST is critical if you truly want to live a Long, Active, Healthy LIFE. Learning terminology is important but identifying a source to be Trusted is often critical. There ARE many wonderful Health Focused resources available; they just are often difficult to identify. Your research is critical to be able to identify that ‘trusted resource’.
In my research and study, I usually begin with a medical resource who understands and values Diet and Nutrition as a foundational principal to Health, Wellness and Longevity. I will often ask those who I counsel to ask ‘If their doctor Can Spell Nutrition’. And it they don’t respond in a positive/supportive manner, run, yes RUN as fast as you can out of there and never return!
In our research and efforts to our continued learning process, we have found a wonderful Canadian Heart Surgeon who has a fantastic, must watch You Tube video channel called Best Life Seniors at https://www.youtube.com/@bestlifeseniors/. While I honestly don’t agree with everything this doctor says from a nutritional aspect (we are totally Plant Based -
https://wf4hl.com/
) his nutritional suggestions are mostly ‘Mediterranean in concept’. Everything else he discusses is wonderful, well presented, and not too long. I highly recommend putting him to the top of your daily viewing list – he has 75 to be viewed so far; we have been constant viewers and advocates since 2023.
One every senior should view is
that discussed heart health and issues. One thing that is amazing is that this doctor is NOT SELLING ANYTHING! Yea, no commercials or sales pitch, just honest medical advice as it pertains to aging and health.
So, my friends, while I try to offer positive suggestions for Living a Long, Healthy, Happy Live, I don’t claim to have all the answers. BUT I have lived 15 more happy, health, active years than that first oncologist said I would; so, I figure I am doing something right. That is why we try to help others and “Pay It Forward” to say thanks. I made it to 79 so far and keep busy with my many web sites: https://wf4hl.com/site-index.html
Live Long and Prosper!
