95 year old Dr. Charles Eugster
No matter how old you are, if you’re not actively building and strengthening bone and muscle, you’re losing bone and muscle. It’s your choice.
Seeing old people a decade or more younger than myself limping and unbalanced, looking ready to topple over, is a powerful image in that these people for the most part invited this condition into their lives. Human nature of course requires most to deny they had anything to do with it or could have prevented it.
Even so, when people realize their mobility has been compromised and they are fast going downhill they still do nothing about the problem other than spend money on pills or powders they convince themselves will reverse the damage.
We can either choose to be among this sorry group or we can maintain ourselves physically to extend our youthful abilities indefinitely. Or we can be like 95 year old Dr. Charles Eugster and try something we've never tried before.
Those who argue vehemently against this fact are the very people who refuse to take responsibility for what they have already lost.
