Age doesn’t matter once you’ve found the fountain of youth.
Who hasn’t heard the legend of the Spanish Conquistador Juan Ponce de León’s quest for a fountain of youth in 1513? Nowadays, there is a quest for the lotion or potion that can restore youth, both by people who would like to reverse the signs of aging and by companies who would like to make money from it.

Yoga refreshes the mind, body and spirit. It helps tone the body and keeps the internal organs and the hormone system in the right balance.
Age doesn’t matter. Yoga is one exercise that can be done by people of all age groups. In fact, with the passing of time, one of the most important physical exercises that can be done is yoga. People from all walks of life can benefit from the advantages of a course like that of the Yoga teacher training in India.

My son, Chris, and I have been making health goals together each month for years. I wrote about our experiences with this in my Health Goal Diary here on the blog. It has made a big difference in our health habits, especially with diet and exercise.
It has been beneficial to both of us. Age doesn’t matter. Besides keeping us healthy, it has kept our weight down and made us look our best.

So I’m taking a moment in writing this post about self care to explore what I need to do that I haven’t been doing all this time. I’m hoping this will be helpful to you as well.
