Feel young, look young!

Una sa tanan, Happy Valentine kanatong tanan! Adlaw kuno karon sa paghigugmaay ug sa manag-uyab. Adlaw usab kuno karon sa pagpabelib nga na-in love...sa ato pa, adlaw sa pagpangilad (ambot sad nganong magpailad man sad ta uy?) Ug adlaw usab kuno sa mga kabit (ambot makahunahuna ba ta’g greet sa atong asawa o bana), basta kay labing seguro, chocolate ug red, red roses alang sa kabit.

Anyway, ila lang na, di lang ta manghilabot nila. Kay kitang mga senior citizens, wa sad ta kahibawo unsay atong mga abilidad sa atong panahon. Tingali’g utro sad tang badlongon. Happy Valentine just the same!

Niay gikan sa Health magazine, sinuwat ni Dr. Michael F. Roizen, giulohan Feel young look young. Dugaydugay na ning isyoha, apan, applicable gihapon karon. Matud pa: “Wrinkles, gray hair, disabilities...these are the negative images often associated with aging.” Tinuod kaayo. Bisa‘g unsaon nato’g pamintal ang atong nawong, bisa’g magtina pa ta sa buhok matag adlaw, bisa’g tumahon pa nato ang tanang matang sa bitamina kada-adlaw, di gyud nato kalikayan ang pangunot, ang pagturok sa uban ug kaluya sa lawas ug pagtakboy sa sakit.

Apan, bisan pa niining tanan, mahimo kuno nga mo-feel ug mo-look young ta. Nia ra kuno ni nato. Sa atong attitude. Sa ato pa, kun sa imong hunahuna, tiguwang na ka ug magtiniguwang na gyud, then tiguwang na gyud ka.

Matud ni Dr. Roizen, “The best way to slow aging begins not on the outside (sa ato pa, dili sa mga cream ug mga make up), but on the inside. It begins with taking little steps each day that help you stay young and grow younger..eating an orange at breakfast or taking a walk at lunch.

“It begins with waking up in the morning and asking yourself, “what can I do today that will help me grow younger?” And most of all it begins with an attitude, a belief. Believing that you can live young, no matter what your age is the first step in staying young.”

Dili kuno nato i-underestimate ang atong attitude. “How you feel about yourself as you age influences your health, your functioning and ultimately the choices that you make. In a word, you can think yourself young.”

Kadto kunong minus og pagsalig sa kaugalingon, wa mo-belib sa kaugalingon, kadtong dili kaayo maayo’g feeling sa kaugalingon...“those with low self esteem, have poorer health, more pain and increased disability.”

Padayon: celebrating your age means changing your focus. Instead of feeling old, feel young. Learn to foster self-esteem. Do things that make you feel good about yourself. Engage in fun activities (sama sa ballroom dancing, ug pagtambong sa mga miting sa senior citizens.)

“Take each year as an opportunity. More years shouldn’t mean sickness and disease. Instead they should mean more time with your grandkids, more chances to travel and simply more time to do all the things that you want to do.”
