Hardening
2009 February 3
Massaging three older bodies this afternoon, I reflected a moment on how hard we let ourselves become unless we do something to stop it. Joints lose their range of motion and swell up. Muscles contract and become fibrous. Skin loses its elasticity and hair becomes bristly. Some of this is normal aging, but much of it has to do with just plain poor health. Our good friends, Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, help keep everything lubricated and smooth, while correct breathing, proper exercise and avoidance of excess help the body remain in its natural healthy state. I know that we’ll all get old…but I just don’t think that age=illness.
