Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer(-shaped hunk of Christmas cake)
“There is now irrefutable evidence that we can reduce the risk of age-related disease by making healthy lifestyle choices and it is never too late to make these positive changes.”
The aging population tends to have a very fatalistic attitude when it comes to health. Why is there this trend for people to age as if they have the maturity of a small child? Bro, if you have dangerously high cholesterol, stop eating cake. Simple.
Making positive life changes are becoming easier and easier. There are more dietary alternatives than ever before to suit whatever need you might have! Sugarless, no dairy, gluten-free… And what’s more these alternatives all taste great (and arguably better than their trans-fat-ridden counterparts.)
The way I see it, older people need to be given the hard word. None of this “they’re old so they can do whatever they want” rubbish. With less physical problems, a more active mind, a sense of self-worth (through setting and achieving challenges) and all of their marbles, positive aging through rigorous adherence to a healthy lifestyle is really worth its weight in gold.
