Growing Young

How old are you? I’m turning 60 on June 18, 2012. Do you wonder (like I do) how the years flew by so quickly? It seems like yesterday I was holding my youngest daughter in my arms after giving birth. In a blink of an eye – I was holding her baby – my beautiful new grandson! God has so much more for each of us to accomplish, but how can we if we are unhealthy, exhausted or losing our joy? I’ve been blessed to look and feel young for my age and it improves the quality of my life on many levels. I want to share my expertise, thoughts and research on the topic of “Growing Young” in a regular blog so you can look and feel your best as well!

Growing Old...Growing Young

Danna Demetre - Thursday, January 05, 2012

Whoosh. Time flies when you're having fun! I blinked my eyes and I was no longer a "middle aged" woman - I'm guessing in light of the latest life expectancy statistics that is about 42. It's hard to consider myself "old" when I feel young. But, if I'm still middle aged, then I'm going to live to 120 - Yipee!!!

How do you feel about growing older? I feel GREAT about it. There are definitely a few downsides. My hands expose my age. I've inherited my mom's arthritis and received the extra bonus of chronic tendonitis as well. They remind me that I'm not really 45. But, most of the benefits of aging far outweigh the losses.

When I went through menopause at 50, I gained the traditional "menopause muffin middle" and thought that despite my ability to maintain a healthy weight, I was resigned finishing life without a waist. Two years ago, I disproved that myth and lost about15 pounds and regained my 30-something figure. How? I put my Caltrac Activity Monitor back on and actually counted calories - which ALWAYS works. I also used my treadmill at about a 12% grade almost daily for 40 to 60 minutes. Three natural products also helped me greatly with my appetite and metabolism: SLIMALUMA, CELLUTHIN AND LYMPHTHIN (info on my webstore).

So, I figured it was time to disprove other myths about aging of body and mind and started writing my new book titled: GROWING YOUNG. I'd love to hear about your challenges - physical - mental - emotional -spiritual - and how YOU are celebrating this BEST SEASON OF LIFE in ways other women can embrace!

In the next few months, I'm going to post a few thoughts most days. And, I invite you to comment. Let's start a dialogue about this very temporal life journey and discuss how we can finish strong to God's glory!
