Aging Curve

 

This is an illustration I developed over several years.

The Aging Curve is a graph showing our lifeline from independence in our early years through the acquisition of functional abilities and the loss of these same functional abilities later in life. 

The black arrows (rising from birth on the left in the graph and declining on the right) show a normal Aging Curve and how it may sink below the dependency threshold later in life. 

We age in two ways: Primary Aging, which is the number of years lived and Secondary Aging, which is the impact of diseases, accidents, injuries and our environment. These secondary impacts all push downward on our Aging Curve. I work hard to push back upward. I want my Aging Curve to remain as high as possible, as long as possible. 

I am doing that with my Lifestyle. My tools are exercise 🏃🏻‍♂️and nutrition🍓. These are the two components of Fitness.  I insist on my lifestyle controlling my body; I will not let a body, that I am able  control, take control of my lifestyle. 

Many, many people just accept what happens to them as being natural. They think their loss of abilities is what is supposed to happen and so they don't make any attempt to push back. 

In most cases they get old because they don't do anything! 

Come and join me and I'll show you how to push up on Your Aging Curve. 😎
