Outstanding and totally spot on. This is a critical TRUTH that is obviously so unknown. Lack of awareness leads to a lack of a full and independent life in olderhood. I try to be a "poster boy" for this, and lo and behold, moderate resistance training, good nutrition, and sleep, along with purpose and relevance, have led me to a better life and better health than I had 20 years ago. In a way, that's "reversed aging." Thank you for contributing to the cause, gentlemen.

Thanks for a well-reasoned comment, Paul. A recent guest on the show, Mike Drak, is training for an ironman competition at the age of 70. He set an intention and is fully aware in each moment of his tough training regimen. Without the intention, purpose and relevance, we won’t have much in our lives that fuels our days meaningfully.

Great reminder of how very easy it is to ensure better later years. All you need to do is put in the work; and, if you can make it enjoyable and social, even better!
