Live long, keep healthy
Thanks to
developments in medical research it is no longer unusual for people to live
well into their eighties and nineties, but this longevity can come at a price
and there are few who would wish to have a long life if they knew that they were
going to end their days suffering from ill health or loneliness.
Here at
Healthy Ageing,
we believe that humour and a positive outlook play a big part in keeping us
young so we hope you will enjoy our humorous guide to growing old.
Forget numbers
Don't worry about numbers. Most of them are not important.
Don't think about numbers connected to age, weight and height. Let the doctors
worry about those. After all, that's what we pay them for, isn't it?
Be a student
Continue to learn. Keep abreast of what's going on in
the world. If you don't have
one already, get a computer and teach yourself how to
use it. Take up new hobbies. Get out into the garden. Join the local history
society. Whatever it is, make sure you use your brain because if you don't,
your brain will just give up on you.
Spend time with happy people
Be careful about the company you keep. Avoid negative
people. They bring you down and make you feel depressed.
Laugh
Laughter works in more ways than you can imagine. Did
you know that laughter dissolves tension, stress, anxiety, irritation, anger,
grief and depression? Laughter boosts the immune system as well as releasing
endorphins so make sure you start seeing the funny side.
Remember simple
pleasures
Take time to
listen to the birds. Sit back and watch the clouds. Go to a cafe and just
simply watch the world go by.
Accept times of
sadness
Everyone goes
through difficult times, no one's denying that. It's how you deal with them
that counts: cry if you need to and move on.
Take care of your
health
If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve
it. If you can't improve it by yourself, be sure to ask for professional help.
Don't feel guilty
Enjoy your
pleasures, and don't reproach yourself. Go shopping, go abroad. If you have the
money, enjoy it.
And most important
of all...
Tell the people
you love that you love them, at every opportunity. It's good for you, it's good
for them.
We hope that
you've enjoyed reading these tips. Please write in and let us know what keeps
you young at heart and we'll print your ideas in next month's edition.

extra sentence you do not need.
Hi Annie,
Thanks so much for your newsy email - I'm glad you're enjoying
your new job. I know how you were rather dreading it, but I think it's always
hard to start again especially when you have to move as well. And what about
accommodation - did you decide to find something on your own or are you
sharing?(10)
Quite a lot's happened here
as well since I last wrote to you. I finally moved last month. You know I'd
been looking to move out of the city centre, well, I found a lovely little
house half way between where I had been living and the coast.(11) And dark
too as there are no street lights – so you can see the stars. I haven't quite
got used to it yet, having always been a city girl!
Everyone has been very friendly though. You know, before I moved
everyone was saying that I was crazy because villagers tend to keep
themselves to themselves and don't welcome outsiders, but I can't tell you
how kind everyone has been.(12) I'm living in a terraced house so have
neighbours on either side. Both sets are friendly, but not too friendly, if
you know what I mean. In any case, it's certainly good to know that there are
people there if I need help.
(13)You know what
it's like in the city - everyone's in a rush all the time and it's hard not
to join in somehow. Here, however, everything is much slower. I really like
it. It usually takes me an hour or so to go to the post office by the time
I've stopped a few times to chat to people!
Things are going well on the
work front as well. I wasn't sure how this would work out at first. My boss
was happy to let me work from home so that's what I'm doing at the moment.
(14) I bet some of my colleagues think I'm not really doing anything down
here but in fact, I think I get far more done at home as I'm not constantly
being disturbed by colleagues. It's amazing how much you can get through in
an hour when there's no one else there.
It's early days yet I know, but I really do feel very happy and
settled here. Long may it last! (15) You can give me some tips on the garden.
It's not very big but there's enough room for a small vegetable patch.
Let me know how you're
getting on. And send me some photos if you get the chance. I want to see what
your new haircut looks like!
Love,
Hannah x
a)
I still have to go into the office once
a week for meetings but it's a good balance (and a chance to catch up on
office gossip!).
b)
It's been a very stressful time for me
recently with all the problems at work and problems with my health.
c) I guess it must be quite expensive if you want to be in town so
you might not have much choice.
d)
Of course I was the hot topic of
conversation for the first week or so but I guess that's to be expected in a
small community, so I didn't feel bad about it.
e)
I hope you can get some time off soon to
come and visit as I know you'll love it too, and it will do you good.
f)
The hardest thing for me to adjust to
has been the change of pace in life here - I've found it difficult to slow
down.
g) It's on the edge of the village so it's really peaceful and very
quiet, especially at night.
