Your Aging is Too Important to Just Let it Happen

Your thinking plays a huge role in how you age. Nursing homes are full of people who did not age well. The ideal is to live a long, healthy life and when you die, go quickly. That is what a lot of vital centenarians (people 100+ years old) do. A Grow Young mindset helps you follow their example.

52 baby steps to Grow Young isn't magic diets, magic pills, or magic exercises. It is practical, easy to make belief shifts. Any one step seems tiny. Cumulatively the steps make a huge difference in developing a youthful outlook at every age. Your aging is too important to be left to chance or get sucked into our culture's negative beliefs about aging.
