Who Says 50 is Old?
/ 0
This email from a friend, on wellness as a lifestyle, inspired me. I thought I would share it with you. These women are amazing!
Without getting into a discussion about exploitation of women or if these ladies have had 'enhancements' it may be fair to say that all of them appear more than fit. There is no way they could have created these kinds of results passively - it was a CHOICE.
You could take this kind of success and translate it to anything.
They seem to have a formula for balance, to include having effective community support. At 50, a woman's body is about to go into menopause if it is not there already. There are multiple challenges with the changes in hormones. Both estrogen and testosterone levels fall. As the saying goes, USE IT OR LOSE IT.
Having fitness as part of your lifestyle is a way to make the transition into menopause easier. With exercise, a woman's sex drive, hormones (estrogen and testosterone) and metabolism can increase. Men are not immune to the effects of aging. Older men can lose their sex drive and ability to maintain a strong, quality erection because the aging process lowers the production of testosterone.
If there were ever an example of what getting results looks like, feels like, sounds like - these women clearly demonstrate it. I have heard people who say they are up to big things but refuse to take care of their health. How can any of us be about big things when we do not take care of our foundation - our health?
Our health is not only a function of fitness and nutrition but also our relationships and connection to our community. A great way to share love, is to be your optimal self - this is someone who refuses to accept mediocrity for their life. Consider the impact.
I hope you are as inspired as I am by the images.
Yours in health,
