Stop Anticipating Your Death!

A friend and brilliant writer publishes well-documented articles about current events. She said this in a recent newsletter: "Time is also not a friend of people my age. I'll be 73 at the end of June, so I don't have many years left. . . " I guess she has a direct pipeline to the intention of God or the Grim Reaper. Anyone at age 73 who assumes an early demise because … [Read more...] about Stop Anticipating Your Death!

Is The Ageist Media Making You Feel Old?

By: Barbara Morris

Well, it happened again. A day does not go by that you don't see a headline referring to an older person as "elderly" or a "grandma". Those two words, as used by the media, are not flattering. The latest headline:

"Grandma, 80, Bullied by Trans Activists After YMCA Banned Her For Reporting What She Saw"

This is not about the above-mentioned article's … [Read more...] about Is The Ageist Media Making You Feel Old?

This Will Make Your Head Spin

By: Barbara Morris

Tony Robbin's new book, Lifeforce, will make your head spin. I had always considered Robbins just a feel-good huckster, but this book changed my mind about him. He still writes as the same enthusiastic, over-the-top Tony Robbins, but he toned down his usual "you gotta do it now" rhetoric for this book and hooked up with … [Read more...] about This Will Make Your Head Spin

YOUR BODY'S MANY CRIES FOR WATER

It was about 1995 when I first became aware of one of the books that has had a strong, lasting influence on my life. It's "Your Body's Many Cries for Water by F. Batmanghelidj, MD. (The new version of the took is retitled "You're Not Sick You're Thirsty"). At that time, I was building my knowledge of anti-aging information, and the book just blew me away. I knew ample water consumption was important, but not to the extent that Dr. Batmanghelidj said it was.

I highlighted page after page because the information was so eye-opening. For example, Dr. Batmanghelidj writes on page 75: "Essential hypertension should primarily be treated with an increase in daily water intake. The present way of treating hypertension is wrong to the point of scientific absurdity." He continues to support his position.

If you take a diuretic to lower pressure, please DO NOT stop taking your medication just because you increase water intake. Allow your doctor to make that decision.

When I was working, I remember an older woman bragging that she NEVER drank water and hadn't done so for years. She drank Coke instead. Yes, she was taking several medications, one of which was to lower blood pressure.

When I bump up water consumption regularly, my skin looks better, and my brain is sharper. Try it. You will like it!
