“The Obama Administration is committed to helping increase the
number of Americans who are healthy at every stage of life, said CMS
Administrator Donald Berwick, M.D. “Even in your 70s, 80s, or beyond you
can reduce your risk of disability and chronic illness if you take care of
yourself."
I certainly congratulate the American medical establishment for this stand on healthy ageing. Teaching people to take care of this one body/mind/spirit has been the work of wisdom traditions and complementary medicine for generations. We advocate that "taking care of yourself" is lifelong, an aspect of life to study, practice and enjoy.
Now even the science of our own western culture demonstrates the value of taking care of yourself. Eating healthfully, exercising regularly and consciously relaxing will definitely make your life more healthy, more fun and last longer!
