OLD AGE AND HOW PEOPLE FEEL

MANY PEOPLE OVER 60 FEEL LIKE THEY ARE NOT THAT OLD. THEIR MINDS LET THEM THINK THAT THEY ARE STILL YOUNG. I'VE BEEN TO LECTURES AND TALKED WITH MEDICAL DOCTORS ABOUT THIS. MY MOM IS OVER 90 AND SHE DOES NOT FEEL LIKE SHE SHOULD BE THAT OLD, AND FEELS LIKE SHE WANTS TO RELATE TO YOUNGER PEOPLE.

IN HUNZA LAND (PAKISTAN) THE PEOPLE TEND TO BE QUITE ACTIVE IN THEIR 100'S. THEIR DIET PLAYS A MAJOR ROLE. THEY ARE SLENDER AND ATHLETIC. SOME RESEARCHERS SAY THEY HAVE NO CANCER, ULCERS, HEART PROBLEMS OR NEED EYE GLASSES. HOWEVER, DR. ALLEN BANIK SAYS THEY HAVE OTHER DISEASES. THE MEN FATHER CHILDREN IN THEIR 80'S AND 90'S. THEY LIVE ABOVE 20,000 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL AND USE THE GLACIER WATER THAT IS QUITE PURE. THEY HAVE NO BANKS OR STORES AND ONLY EAT ORGANIC FRESH AND NATURAL UNPROCESSED FOODS.

IN WINTER THEY BREAK HOLES IN THE ICY STREAMS AND SWIM UNDER WATER. MOST OF THEIR FOOD COMES FROM ORGANIC VEGETABLES. THEY EAT COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES THAT ARE FRUITS, VEGETABLES, AND GRAINS. THEY USE GROUND UP APRICOT NUTS IN A DRINK TO ELIMINATE SKIN GROWTHS. THEY EAT DRIED APRICOTS EVERY DAY WHICH ARE HIGH IN VITAMIN A AND FIBER. THEY ARE A COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE WHO FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEIR LIFESTYLE.
