Age is just a number

Not long ago, many health problems experienced by older people were simply put down to their advancing years.

Fortunately, attitudes are changing. Fewer doctors are likely to tell you: "What else can you expect at your time of life?"

Today it is generally accepted that old age is not a diagnosis or a disease.

Indeed, most problems in later life are not caused by the ageing process itself. However, we should all be aware of the changes in our bodies as we grow older and take action to avoid damage to our health.

You start today by following this blog.

You can become easy 115 years old

Did you hear that?

You can become easy 115 years old.

And this is only the basic or call it the realistic approach to what we call life span / death etc.

Other sources talk about a target at around 500 years.

Well, I have no further information on that. But I keep you informed.

Always take two steps at a time

Why is that?

Always take two steps on the stairs when going up. That keeps the witches away (Old English wisdom, about 15th century). If this is difficult to believe today by modern standards, just try it. You will be definitely fit, with or without a witch.

Regular training keeps you going

Regular training does not only keeps you fit, but it's fun!
Especially important to train are:
Eyes
Hearing
Endurance
Musculature
Keep on mind, who adhere to this rule avoid unnecessary suffering and grief in the future for themselves and their loved ones.

Get rid of these extra pounds!

Those who carry too many kilos with them are not only putting themselves in danger. I say he/she lives quite an exhausting life. Just imagine, you always have to carry two buckets of water with you. Every day, everywhere, that's 20 kg.

And that extra weight an obese person carries around, if not more! The only way to escape it is to be consistent. Good, fast food! Bringing more exercise into everyday life does not necessarily mean devoting oneself to sports. Every day, a good walk is a great start. The easiest way is with TerLiMa weight reduction.

Empty benches

Again and again, I meet people on my jogging tours or while walking, sitting on these empty park benches. Even in the most beautiful sunshine, there are hardly any people who accept this wonderful offer and sit on a free bench. Free, calm, and relaxed, sitting in the sun, chatting with others. But that has to do with a corresponding culture. Once, I was in St. Petersburg, and people sat in the smallest sunbeams around on the many benches. Do it like the Petersburgers: get out and sit on the benches!

Always take two steps at a time

From the "white magic" it is known that one should always take two steps at a time when climbing stairs. That keeps the witches away!

And to do so not only keeps you fit, but is also a good indicator of your own fitness.

About Yoga

The general picture of yoga is still bizarre, even after decades of being introduced to a broader public. Some believe that whoever does yoga must necessarily be vegan or at least vegetarian. Others think of the bizarre contortions found only in a circus of acrobats. There is a report of the living burial for three weeks; another supposed yogi wraps himself in NATO barbed wire. Look at a bunch of women come out of a yoga session. The plastic yoga mats in all colours rolled under the arms, and they watched their stressed faces. They often don't look as if they have just done yoga. I mean real yoga. They have done some aerobics, Pilates or whatever it's called.

Yoga is better, yoga is more, and yoga is the most comprehensive program for holistically training the body and mind.

Yoga holds the key to the best possible lifestyle in the hand.

Those who practice yoga have put the key in the hole, and who then regularly (that means a "rule" set up and moderate practice) practice the asanas, breathing trained, and controlling the mind while a normal person remains who will reap the rewards and live content and healthy.

Yoga offers the best of yoga philosophy and technology. There is no age limit for starting a yoga study, and no equipment or exceptional food is needed. Yoga is so diverse, so the Tantra Yogi conscientiously practices his asanas to later drink a beer and, of course, not forget the fat roast pork on Sunday. The one who studies Bhakti Yoga has renounced the world for a while and rests in meditation and abstinence. Yoga offers an open way. Nobody stays outside.

Medication

Healthcare costs are now reaching dizzying heights.
Now, sueddeutsche.de is reporting on a fraud scandal that has been uncovered.
In recent years, doctors allegedly received financial transfers from pharmaceutical representatives to prescribe certain medications. The public prosecutor's office says there are up to 2,800 cases.

 

 

Demonstration of a Diagnosis

I was going through some old records and found something from 2004. At the time, I was on a press trip through Zimbabwe and visited a healer. She was kind enough to demonstrate her method of diagnosis. Four of us sat in her treatment hut; the patient wasn't present. In front of her was a small pile of snuff and four small animal bones, which she tossed in front of her, and then she questioned the spirit of the absent patient.

She told us that the bones could be read like an alphabet. I'm guessing it was something similar to palmistry. Then she took a black mamba out of a box and let it slither through the bones, only to quickly land back in the box. As we learned, the patient was in a relatively poor state.

The healer herself was estimated to be in her 70s. And I must say, one rarely sees such beautiful and smooth breasts on a European woman as this old lady's. It should be mentioned that she was naked from the waist down. What was particularly striking was that she had probably the snowiest teeth that many in this country could wish for. It makes you think. Age is just a number!

 

115 helps with weight loss

Men, in particular, develop the so-called beer belly from a certain age. Even though some men don't drink beer at all, they can still suffer from this, not only a visually unsightly bulge.

In addition to the aesthetic effect, a beer belly often also poses a health risk. Men with large bellies are more susceptible to cancer, diabetes, or back problems. Such a belly doesn't just happen by chance; it's associated with a correspondingly unhealthy lifestyle. 

What can men do?

Car tyres

Car owners know this. Summer tires, winter tires, and maintaining sufficient tread. The tire may be of the highest quality. Nevertheless, the lifespan of even the best brand is limited and, in direct comparison to our "maintenance-free" feet, mediocre. 

Our feet carry us through life and are a valuable part of our bodies. Unfortunately, they don't always receive the attention and care they need. I don't even want to go into all the wonderful things we can do with and on our feet. Just a reminder: Go barefoot!

FDH

Eat half, FDH in German. It's a straightforward formula, and yet the food industry seems to have succeeded over the decades in convincing people to adopt one diet after another.

The TerLiMa weight loss principle is elementary:
FDH and get moving! Awesome and effective. What's the point of all this talk about calorie counting, statistics that don't help, statements from health politicians, etc.?

Once again, for those who aren't familiar with it, the formula is:

FDH

Friss Die Haelfte

Since I could read, about 1,000 diets have promised... Everyone knows the rest, yet everyone keeps falling for it. "There's a pee-pee diet now. If you wet yourself right after eating, you get clean diapers." I'll spare you the link.

Public enemy number 3

Self-inflicted diabetes is public enemy number 3 for me. 

It's so easy not to suffer from this insidious and dramatic disease. Just exercise more! 

Even in advanced age, people should engage in light leisure activities like walking and cycling – as long as their general health allows – and exercise regularly, well into old age, as far and as possible.

                                                                             And don't eat junk food!

Prinz Philip talks about TV

The British Prince Philip blasphemes on modern television sets in his own way. "To find out how a TV works, you have to practically sleep with it," said the famous for his sayings spouse of Queen Elizabeth II have made on YouTube. And quite royal on the official royal channel of the Internet portal YouTube.

The prince wonders how tolerant people behave towards these dreadful things. Because even modern remote controls are made miserable, one would ultimately have to lie in front of the TV to serve it. "In the past, the TV was put on the floor, and then the manufacturers put the buttons at the bottom so you had to lie down on the floor," said the 88-year-old royal old in a video.

Unfortunately, the prince has not explained so far that you should completely banish these "things". But does it require royal help to be wise yourself? I do not think today. So, get rid of the TV and out to the real world.

Yoga is the best

Worth knowing about yoga

Strangely enough, yoga is always somehow transfigured. Yoga is simple and alone the all-encompassing system for body and mind.

Good to know:

1. There are so many yoga styles, there is something for everyone. From a gentle group for women to a power women's group. And men too of course!

2. Yoga is the ideal supplement for athletes. There is nothing better.

3. Forget about these circus acrobats. Yoga is more than just a balancing act, just because you were forced to play ballet as a child and can do now some Asanas.

4. And yoga is really not just for women. Men, join in! Although most are women.

In vino veritas

Do you drink wine?
And do you also buy it at the supermarket?
These five recommendations might interest you.

1. White wine should not be older than two years.
2. If the wine has won awards or a medal, this is a sign of better quality. Someone with expertise has tested it here.
3. In Germany, the AP number is indicated on bottles. The last two digits indicate the year of bottling.
4. Most special offers are at the bottom of the shelf. But with wine, this can mean cheap goods - a headache.
5. If a discounter makes an effort and correctly labels its wine selections, explaining origin and taste, then this market can be trusted more than a mere "product display."

A word to those over 100 years old

Today I read a newspaper headline at the kiosk: Thousands of centenarians to blame for health insurance deficits!
Well, hello, the cat's finally out of the bag. What many have always suspected, for example, the government, health insurance companies, and even pension funds, have no interest in citizens getting "too old."
Ideal age to die:
1. From the perspective of the pension fund: 65 years
2. From the perspective of the health insurance companies: when a certain level of medical treatment costs is reached.
3. From the perspective of the government: anyone who doesn't pay taxes is basically superfluous

The way lies are spread about aging is demonstrated by an example on Web.de. It actually states, "...that lifestyle has relatively little influence on individual life expectancy." A study in the USA supposedly found this. According to the study, longevity depends solely on genes. So, smoke free! Have a drink now and then, and those few pounds of fat will be comfortable... And exercise is also harmful; it just wears out your bones.

Walk instead of sitting on the couch

Seven 115 tips for quick application. Costs nothing and requires no prior knowledge.

1. Eat fruit instead of drinking juice. Fruit keeps your chewing organs fit, and juices often contain hidden amounts of sugar. Fruit is good for digestion, tastes delicious, and is cheaper than juice.

2. Try it. Skip the TV for a day and do something yourself. Make long phone calls, do things around the house that you have been putting off for a long time. There's a lot to do. Let's get to it!

3. Turn off your cell phone every now and then. What's the point of the constant beeping and ringtones? They get uncool after a while. You don't have to be constantly reachable. Finally, some peace and quiet for yourself.

4. Have a fresh plate of salad for lunch instead of dumplings, mashed potatoes, fries, and the like, with the appropriate side dishes.

5. PC? Yes, the PC can be just as addictive as watching TV. Press the off button, and that's it—at least one day a week.

6. Drink water. In most regions, tap water is absolutely perfect. Bottled water is more expensive and often unhealthy.

7. Get out and take a walk. Instead of chatting with friends on the couch, for example, you can do this while walking together.
