HAVING THE PRIME OF MY LIFE

LINDA’S NOTE:

Jude, a senior author, gives sage advice for younger readers on changes you can make now so that you enjoy a healthier and more productive life in your sunset years.

My friend is a financial advisor. My friend’s daughter is a holistic nutritionist.

This mother-daughter combo wants to write a book. Okay, you might ask, but what does this have to do with me or you having the prime of our lives? 

Just this-they have a theory that our health history correlates closely with our financial ledger. Simple enough, that is, if we live long enough to think about prime in terms other than a rate.

Said another way, it matters immensely, financial and otherwise, to make a healthy lifestyle our philosophy of life. Starting early, too. This means not waiting until age forty to decide health goals. It’s harder to play catch up if we live our teen years and young adulthood eating and doing what we want. By this time, habits are harder to break or give up.

Conceivably, some such habits could and do predispose us to illnesses, chronic conditions, disease or psychological issues. All of which could do what? Take money. Impact our financial status. Cause psychological stress. Cause us to lose the chance to have the prime of our lives.

A nutritional or physical fitness class is beyond the scope of this post, but as a former health care provider, I suggest the following as ‘must dos’.  Greek yogurt or probiotics; garlic, cinnamon, and turmeric on everything you can; 30 grams of fiber daily; lots of fruits and vegetables; green tea; water; exercise; adequate rest and sleep; attend carefully to spiritual health; maintain friendships; limit alcohol; have something to do and someone to love.

My personal theory is that the years 40-55 are the prime time of a woman’s life, and probably a man’s also. These are the best of years. Start ‘your program’ early so that you will have the prime of your life.

Just remember “Life is like a jar of jalapeno peppers. What you do today may be a burning issue tomorrow.”
