Frank Wilhelmi - Retired/consultant electronic engineer researches and reports practical strategies for optimizing health and fitness into advanced age. "I have a passion for living life to the fullest, and helping others to do the same." A rapidly growing body of knowledge now enables us to extend our health and fitness decades beyond popular expectations.

The science is quite complicated and shifting, but some simple principles stand out. Primarily, diet, exercise and sleep control gene expression. We may be born with genes that favor longer or shorter lives, but a nutrient-rich diet, exercise that builds strength and endurance, and a high-quality sleep pattern promotes gene expression that fosters enduring health and longevity. What we put in our mouths, how we move our bodies and value our sleep has a massive impact on our health or the lack of it.

On the other side of the coin, some habits like smoking, recreational drugs, excessive alcohol intake and overeating always promote gene activation that shortens our years and fills them with ongoing pain. Stupidity or ignorance in youth leaves scars, but at any point we can change the course of our health by fixing the basics. Much damage can be reversed and new or renewed health can be acquired. Strength can improved at every age, joints rebuilt, mobility enhanced, energy revitalized. Nutritional and hormonal supplements can be used to compensate for metabolic changes that come with age.

We all age, and the changes are inevitable; we all (so far) get to die. "In my thinking, later is better, and being pain-free, mobile and energetic for as long as possible is well worth the research, time, energy and money invested. Now, at 73, I thoroughly enjoy the fruits of my research". Learn the details at http://www.seniorfitness.com/newsletter-signup.html
