It’s a time of awakening to the changes we need to make. As we self quarantine in our homes, some of the improvements we need to make for lifelong health are most likely becoming very clear to us. Age doesn’t matter. And even better, we have the time to cook good foods, exercise, sleep, drink more water, and all those things that are good for us. Now is the time to make that effort because staying in good health and having a strong immune system starts with having good health in the first place. So as we attempt to avoid getting the Corona virus or any flu virus, it’s a good time to ensure our lifelong health.
Are People Over 60 Really More Vulnerable Physically?
I was a bit skeptical when I read that people over the age of 60 were some of the most vulnerable. I thought that was a generalization that everyone over 60 was at a frail point in life. But that’s not what I see. My community of friends virtually and in real life are quite healthy women who look much younger. I felt that they should probably not be lumped into a category of people who are frail and vulnerable. But I’m not an expert, so…what do you think?

Welcome to Your True Self Blog where age doesn’t matter…except when it comes to the Coronavirus.

So what are the best ways to calm our fear and anxiety?

When COVID-19 hit our part of the United States, the first thing I did was make sure I added vitamin C, echinacea, goldenseal and zinc to my daily vitamins. My husband followed suit and then asked me to come up with a list for our friends and neighbors of what supplements can help with immunity and stress. Going beyond that, I would also like to extend this information to you, my dear readers, in case you might be interested in this subject as well. I researched what over-the-counter supplements may help with immunity and stress.
The supplements I take help me and may be able to help you, too. When you are in good health and want to stay that way, it’s easy to feel that age doesn’t matter. Here’s to your enjoyment of life and a long future!

Hi! My sister and I just got back from the Ageless Beauty: Yoga & Wellness cruise to Cozumel. Hosted by Cindy Bartz, the yoga cruise had dozens of natural healing classes and events as well as private sessions to choose from. When you meet the instructors, you can see that when you practice wellness techniques age doesn’t matter because they are all glowing with vitality. So what happens at a yoga retreat on the sea? Let me tell you a little about it and share with you what I learned.
The weather wasn’t the greatest because of a storm that passed through, making the waters choppy. That made my first snorkeling adventure a little difficult, but I saw a baby shark and other fascinating sea life and had a fun trip overall.
I am sharing some of the information that I got from yoga classes on the cruise. Take a look and learn about whatever interests you. I hope it is helpful. And if you end up much healthier, come back and let me know!
Yoga Classes that were offered on the cruise:

Age doesn’t matter when you are in good health. Energy is youth. So in the spirit of lifelong health, I am alerting you to beware of dangerous chemicals that have been lurking in American waters for a long time. But they have been allowed to spread, going unreported and unchecked throughout our lifetimes. This is a time to call for transparency on all levels in our society.
Here’s the Scoop:
