DARE-ME: The Live-to-150 Formula (Part 5)
MOVE -- It is well known that regular exercise keeps people looking and feeling young and wards off many of the illnesses associated with getting older.
Aerobic exercise such as walking or jogging is one of the best things you can do for your physical well-being. I have a confession, though. In this area, I don't exactly practice what I preach.
I have spurts of commitment when I get out every evening and walk two or three miles. But then I skip a couple of days, and soon whole months pass during which I never get out the door except to walk to the car.
Nevertheless, I do move. Every morning I run up the three flights of stairs to my office, to the amusement of others in the building who say they can always tell it's me because no one else ever does that.
Often, I'll pass by a particular building that has a flower bed lined with a low brick “wall.” I like to walk along the top of the bricks, performing a little balancing act as I do.
You frequently hear of older people falling and breaking bones because they lost their balance. So, start now to practice balancing whenever and wherever you spot on opportunity.
Certain Eastern exercises are said to confer long life and agelessness. Tai chi is one. I have practiced tai chi, and can report that it will leave you feeling mentally and emotionally centered as well as physically balanced.
Here's an amazing antiaging exercise you can start doing today: Spinning.
Don't laugh or dismiss this out of hand, and don't reject it because it might be uncomfortable at first. After all, you used to do it for fun as a kid!
Stand in the middle of the room, arms raised out to your sides, and begin turning clockwise (left to right). In the beginning you might only manage two or three slow turns before you get too dizzy to continue. Don't worry. Spin every day and in a short time you'll be able to do it rapidly, many times, with very little dizziness. Work up to 21 spins per daily session.
This spinning is one of five “secret” Tibetan yoga exercises said to have a miraculous ability to reverse aging when done every day. There are books and web sites describing all five in detail.
Some people say these exercises work by speeding up certain “vortexes” that reside within our bodies. These vortexes are energy centers, spinning rapidly when we are young but slowing down as we get older until they stop altogether at death. The Tibetan exercises get those vortexes spinning fast again.
Whether or not you accept the idea of vortexes spinning away inside your body, there are many reports that practicing this Tibetan yoga can actually de-age a person.
