Health problems and aging

This article is dedicated to all those who are 40 plus.

'Old age' as it's called should not be called 'old age' ; instead it should be called 'young age' or 'forever young'. The purpose behind this, I think, is not hidden. Yes! You got it right! When you think young you stay young. With the growing age if you start thinking that you are growing older, then of course those 'problems' will start occurring which you think are cropping up because of old age.

There was an amazing incident in an American city recently. A grandfather whose age was 99 was still driving his car and was a healthy man. Suddenly he started feeling weak and unable to drive. He immediately went to a naturopathy Indian Doctor operating in America and complained about his weakness. The famous naturopathy Doctor who is said to have his clinics all over the world, prescribed a natural preparation of bitter gourd, onion, garlic, fenugreek and tomato to be included everyday in his diet. It's unbelievable, but this is true that the respectable grandfather got healthy again by this natural treatment, got his energy back and is now again back driving his car.

What do we learn from this? Well, it's clear that if one takes care of himself throughout his life right from childhood, but, especially after the age of 40, there is nothing which will deprive him of keeping fit and fine even up to the age of 100 or more.

Rheumatism, Diabetes, stroke, High or low blood pressure , cold and cough and infections, heart attacks, etc. But all these can be prevented if one is aware of their causes, consequences right from student age. For this a general awareness, from student age and a special health subject, seminars, discussions on health related issues should be made compulsory in all institutions.

I am giving below some natural precautions to be taken for some of the health related problems at any age what so ever but of course more so for the aging people.

Alzheimer's Disease: Some brain tonic should be take right from young age. It can be a handful of nuts, especially almonds, multi vitamin syrup or tablets, and a healthy balanced diet in the form of green vegetables, fruit, fish and eggs, etc. Remaining tension free and happy as much as possible.

Rheumatism: This is one of most common problems for old as well as the young. General massaging, special exercises to keep your limbs moving, heat therapy and taking your
