Eat a healthy balanced diet that keeps your body at no more than 20% body fat and do weight bearing exercise to maintain bone density. And, by weight bearing exercise, I don't mean toning with itty-bitty 2-3 pound dumbbells. I mean hit the weight room and do some real weight training, because that's the only way you're going to hold on to your bone mass. Same applies to men, except men should aim for 15% body fat.

Good advice. Also, long walks with your dog (relaxing) or a cat (interesting) and Rolfing.

Hey Sal, Hey Everyone, nice to be reading you all there. Over time, even the seemingly nasty have all together become a tribe with its own character. I would lurk occasionally and read only over the last year. After Maharishi died I found myself with little to add to what has gone before. I suppose now life has moved on for most. I wonder. How the Purushas and MDs are doing now? Have many people of TMO gone back to basics of sanatan dharma, as how the Hare Krishnas did when Prahupada died? Or that was already beginning or had happened I guess. I don't really do TM anymore per se. As people know I am one of those infernal Buddhists. A chef. In New Orleans. - Original Message - From: Sal Sunshine To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, January 26, 2009 8:52 AM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Aging Women, Assuring Their Longeity On Jan 26, 2009, at 8:11 AM, Kirk wrote: Nice poem.

Kirk, Yay! Love your energy delivering your stuff. I just posted the notion of having an Old Posters Week and here you are right on time. Now, let's cattle prod L.B. back into this feed lot, and we've got a start on a family reunion.

Warning When I am an old woman I shall wear purple With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me. And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter. I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells And run my stick along the public railings And make up for the sobriety of my youth. I shall go out in my slippers in the rain And pick flowers in other people's gardens And learn to spit. You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat And eat three pounds of sausages at a go Or only bread and pickle for a week And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes. But now we must have clothes that keep us dry And pay our rent and not swear in the street And set a good example for the children. We must have friends to dinner and read the papers. But maybe I ought to practice a little now? So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple. by Jenny Joseph http://tinyurl.com/37962
