年龄：在你三四十岁时，为了自己老年应该开始做些什么

What should you start doing in 30s & 40s that will help you in old age?Mark Steed, works at GTCCI’ll be 55 in August. I’m not old but, I have seen a lot. There’s a lot to be done.First, get your mind right. As you get older you’ll have to confront the deaths of friends and families, then yourself. Decide what’s really important. But, don’t let this make you selfish and inwardly focused. Develop your spiritual life. Have perspective. See yourself honestly. Read Eckhart Tolle’s books. Relationships fall into this category. No one is perfect, no one. Forgive everyone and yourself. If a person is plainly toxic, get them out of your life.You will get hurt, you will. Stuff will break, expensive stuff. That bigger house or newer car won’t complete you. Stop craving. Craving causes suffering. The earlier you see this the happier you’ll be.Second, learn to eat. There’s a freakin million opinions on what constitutes healthy eating. As I see it the top shelf of healthy eating is what we see in the “Blue Zones”. Avoid fad diets. You need your fiber dang it. Cut the sugar intake. Moderate protein intake, enough is enough. Be reasonable and enjoy what you eat. Fast every now and again.The Blue Zones Story - Blue ZonesThird, start with resistance, anaerobic exercise. Studies show that for older men anaerobic exercise is awesome. Lift weights. Keep your bones and muscles strong. As you age you will see your peers start to suffer because they have not taken care of their health. You can put this way off through “proper” exercise. Yoga is amazing. Do it. As to aerobic exercise (and I know people won’t agree). Many of my friends who were runners wore their knees and ankles completely out. The weight lifters who didn’t try to be Mr. Universe and go too heavy have stayed healthy into their 80s and so far beyond..Fourth, don’t be mentally lazy. Read books, learn new things, challenge your mind. Understand that your “me story” is a trap and literally untrue. Decide that love is more important than opinion…you’re welcome.We will all die soon. When that day comes, and it surely will, it would be most helpful to have a peaceful spirit. We can’t take anything with us, except the essence of our core. Make that beautiful. It’s incredibly important. Your religion doesn’t matter if you’re still a jerk.
