May the good Lord be with you down every road you roam.
And may sunshine and happiness surround you when you’re far from home.
And may you grow to be proud, dignified and true.
And do unto others as you’d have done to you.
Be courageous and be brave.
And in my heart you’ll always stay
Forever young. (Forever young)
Forever young. (Forever young)
The above is the first stanza to Rod Stewart’s song, “Forever Young”.
We have heard the expressions: “Age is just a number” and “You are only as old as you feel”. The bottom line is that none of us enjoy the aging process: the aches, pains, doctor visits, need for medications, using the bathroom more frequently, etc etc. We all strive to slow the clock down and try to thwart the aging process. In efforts to look younger, there are cosmetic procedures and prescription meds, such as hormones and skin crèmes that can be used to reduce fat, take away wrinkles and build muscles.
Healthy weight loss is the very best means of anti-aging both the external look AND the internal organs. Cosmetic procedures may help the external anti-aging process but those will do nothing to “anti-age” those important internal parts. Heart, lung, joint and other internal parts are greatly helped by controlling weight.
Save the big bucks on botox, liposuction, tummy tucks etc…get cracking on those weight loss efforts! You may not stay young forever, but you sure will look AND feel lots younger. Enjoy Rod Stewart:
