In your life age does not have to be a limiting factor physically, mentally, or sexually. Today there are some 450 million baby boomers world-wide. People are getting older and living longer. The over 50 age group is the fastest growing segment of the population—and yet life expectancy is at an all time high! Someone turns fifty every 7 seconds in the U.S., and yet we don’t feel any older nor do we want to be thought of as older and we sure as heck don’t want to act older! When discussing anti-aging strategies with one client, he stated that he and his wife frequently hiked and did some light rock climbing, and that, “he didn’t want aging to be the limiting factor in his ability to continue doing those things!”
Ask a twenty-something when old age begins and they’ll usually respond with 60 years of age. Yet ask a forty-year-old and they’ll answer 69 years of age. The same question answered by a 60-year-old would be 72 years of age…..Likewise, ask a group of 40-year-old men about their greatest concerns about aging, and, when compared to the same question asked of a 50- or 60-year-old group of men, the answers differ but with some very discernable trends. Somewhat ironically, we are seeing men as young as their late twenties who are becoming aware of the aging process and who are starting to take preventative measures against the aging process.
What are some of men’s greatest concerns with or complaints about aging? Weight gain, muscle loss, lack of energy, loss of hair, wrinkly skin, heart health, and prostate health all make the top of the laundry list of bad news. But the good news is that science continues to make progress in understanding what happens to our bodies as we age, what triggers degenerative processes such as muscle loss, and what we can do to combat the effects of aging. New ingredients and new applications continue to be tested and many are delivering superior results in a preventative mode for specific maladies associated with aging. Compounds such as CoQ10 and Red Yeast Rice (for heart health), along with special blends of ingredients used to naturally boost testosterone levels while controlling unwanted estrogen, are aiding in the release of our natural growth hormone.

In October 2009 I underwent surgery to fix my left shoulder with the hope of gaining enough range of motion and strength to be able to squat competitively.
Last month, at 70 years of age I participated in an Arizona Championship power lifting event in Prescott, winning my division and setting new state records in the bench, dead lift and squat! In the 14 months I have been competing, I have entered 6 events and won first place in my division each time.
At 70 I feel better than when I was 30. And I think the best is yet to come. I believe that if I can do it, anyone can do it! It only takes the desire and willingness to stick with it. We only have one life and one body. We should take good care of both.
