Guest guest Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 Hi I believe the cognitive exercise here is distinguishing "aging" from chronological age. Overwork, lack of sleep, poor diet, stressful relations with people may contribute to aging at any age. Historically in the 1960s U.S. Olympic women swimmers were worked so hard that they peaked out and lost their competitive capacities by around age 19 to 21. European women swimmers had a more balanced and less stressful training and were able to maintain their peak until their late 20s. Similar things are noted these days with regard to athletic training. Note that this aging process is occurring to teenagers and people in their 20s. I've personally developed a focus in my teaching with regard to the aging process of metabolizing refined carbohydrates and the insulin resistance that results. I'm seeing a lot of evidence that humans should be able to live well past 100 by simply adopting a nutrient-rich, low glycemic diet that avoids stimulating an outflow of insulin. And, of course, by utilizing other lifestyle practices that result in lower stress and nourished and balanced energies. So I believe the term aging is a general term that can relate to all manner of stressful imbalance and not at all to life being lived at any specific age.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2003 Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 This is intuitively obvious - we really need to trust our ability to synthesize judgment rather than seek textual authority. Authority must ultimately arrive from within. Will "vacuity may be the result of enduring diseases, aging or taxation damage...." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
