Healthy aging is an attitude. It's a decision to treat yourself well both physically and mentally. After all, aging is not a disease. Human aging is a natural part of living and happens to anyone who is lucky enough to get there.

Although we are turning 50 and 60, the baby boomer generation continues to set trends and be a changing force in the 21st Century. Most of us have a hard time thinking of ourselves as getting old. We're certainly not ready to sit back in those rocking chairs just yet.

We should be enjoying this time in our lives. The pressures of family and work and the need to fit in don't take center stage any longer. We can use our experiences and wisdom to build a healthier lifestyle.

This women's health guide for healthy aging is based on personal experience and research and I designed it to help women baby boomers like me, look forward to the years ahead instead of dreading them. After all, we don't want to spend our precious time visiting doctors and complaining about aches and pains.

Successful aging depends on knowledge. If you can understand the changes that take place in your body as it ages, I believe you'll be better equipped to take the steps needed to care for it.

Some changes are considered normal and unavoidable and others can be related to heredity, medical history and lifestyle habits.

Do any of the following "symptoms of aging" sound familiar? forgetfulness, slow digestion, hearing loss, dry eyes, brittle nails, aching muscles, age spots, yellowing teeth?

Not all is gloom!!! Science hasn't discovered how to prevent aging, but there are ways to slow down its effects and in some cases, stop and even reverse them. How we care for our bodies plays a significant role in how our body ages.
