I think the secret to living to an old age is to keep active. I've been
a jogger my whole life. Even when my body wasn't cooperating I would
go for a walk as often as I could possibly manage. I'm not the
heathiest person in the world and I certainly indulge in a bacon
cheesburger when I want to, but I've never been one to sit and watch
life pass me. Whenever I get the urge to sit down and do the 'couch
potato' I force myself to do something active. And I can't tell you how
much better I feel physically and mentally.
Actually I saw a great film at the Palm Beach Film Festival a couple of
months ago that really supported the 'get up and get moving'
philosophy. It's called 'Gotta Dance' is about a group of senior
citizen hip-hop dancers for the New Jersey Nets basketball team. The
film isn't demeaning at all and actually shows these dancers who are
past their prime as inspiring role models for others. (It's also cute
and funny). I'm not sure that the film is playing everywhere but you
can watch a clip on the film's website gottadancethemovie.com.
I remember they said at the festival that the film would be coming to
New York in July and other places soon after that. Anway, I recommend
you check it out if you have any interest in aging gracefully and
actively.
As far as wrinkles and scars- I don't have any advice for that. But
I can say from my experience that moving makes all the difference in
the world.
