So, what is your experience? Let's do some attitude checking! The following information and photo are from the Blue Zones. Having a positive outlook about aging can add years to your life. “Yale researcher followed hundreds of residents older than 50 in a small Ohio town. The study found that median survival was 7.5 years longer for those with the most positive beliefs about aging, compared with those having the most negative attitudes,” explains Blue Zones Founder . According to Levy’s research, looking forward to getting old also reduces the chances of heart disease, helps maintain strength and balance, reduces the chances of dementia, and keeps your memory sharp.

Interesting quote by Norman Cousins. If you have not read his book, Anatomy of an Illness, it's a great read on the power of laughter for healing and the mind body connection.

Yes ... sneak in a few more veggies everyday! These fiber rich foods are digested slower and create a feeling being full and create more lasting energy and provide cancer protection. Pick a few new veggies and have fun sneaking them in over the next week! You can even double veggies in a dish and decrease some of the meat if you use meat. If you are eating out ask for double size side salad! What are your ideas?

The power of tears and crying. From the article below: what if we
view crying not a sign of weakness, but rather as an expression of deep sorrow. AND then feel comfortable doing that. Let the tears flow as needed.

Our perception about crying in public is cultural. In some places, not crying is a sign of dignity, whereas in other cultures, not crying for the deceased is consider a sign of dishonor.

It helped us to view crying not a sign of weakness, but rather as an expression of deep sorrow.

In the river of tears, count your blessings. Make time your friend.

From the book: On Grief and Grieving (Finding the meaning of Grief through 5 stages of loss) by: Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross and David Kessler

There is convincing evidence that processed meats and eating a lot of red meats have a causal effect on cancer. The correlation is clear with colorectal cancer and probably with stomach cancer. Think twice when you reach for hot dogs and other processed meats. Just say no to meats with nitrates. Make a goal to reduce your consumption of red meats. Baby step it.. you can do it.

This scientist is giving us great news for those 50 plus folks! Who wants to have a big fluffy brain (Dr. Suzuki's words). Only five minutes to inspire you!

Wolrd-renowned neuroscientist Wendy Suzuki says our brains are at their peak in the second half of life. She stops by TODAY to discuss neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to grow and change with experience, and why your 50s and 60s is the ideal time to go after your dreams.
