Is your computer aging you? Age doesn’t matter, because cosmetic surgeons claim that they are seeing more and more younger patients showing signs of aging. These include accelerated fine lines, wrinkles, frown lines, turkey neck, deep wrinkles, and jowls. In September 2010, the Daily Mail published an interesting report. According to a leading cosmetic surgeon, professionals who sit for hours in front of the computer—and who tend to squint, frown, or remain in one position for a long period of time—are at a greater risk for the appearance of premature aging. But there are many things you can do to prevent this from happening. Continue Reading
Have you heard that sitting is the new smoking? Actually, it’s worse.
Age doesn’t matter. From early childhood to old age, the amount of sitting has increased as we have become a sedentary society. Not only do we sit at work all day, but we also sit in our cars as we travel from place to place, sit down for meals, and then sit down on our couch to watch television in the evenings and on weekends.

This is a diary of the healthy lifestyle goals that my son, Chris, and I are making together each month.
Since it takes 21-30 days to develop a new habit, making a goal for the month ahead is an effective strategy.
Chris and I agree that making these monthly goals together and posting our results here for you to see helps us to improve our health. I’ve always found that if I say out loud to someone what I plan on doing, I’m more likely to do it. Because if I said I would, I feel responsible to follow through.
Age doesn’t matter. It’s never too late. You can always make progress and actually reverse the signs of aging!
In May, my goal was to count calories (for the first time ever!) and keep them down to 1200 a day. Chris was so exhausted from insomnia and hard work that he decided to try to get enough sleep each night.Continue Reading
I don’t know about you, but I want to have lifelong health and learn the secrets of how to live to 100 years or beyond! There are plenty of role models in this world letting us know that age doesn’t matter; it doesn’t have to stop movement, exploration, learning, beauty, self-expression. Your true self is love, it’s wisdom, and it doesn’t stop.
With that in mind, I am presenting links to articles and videos on centenarians and how they made it to age 100 or more. Continue Reading

In April, my goal was to cut down wine and sweets to every other day. Chris couldn’t think of a new goal, so he decided to maintain the progress he had already made on his healthy lifestyle.Continue Reading
