And when you walk, put your phone away. Look at the trees. Listen to the birds. Smell the flowers. Look at the clouds. I like to stand under the tree limbs for a few minutes and look up. It's very calming.

If you want to be Able to walk later - Walk Now .

I am a 74 year old woman. I’ve always been active. I garden, have a few chickens and still have 3 sweet dogs from foster fails. My husband 78 years, does the yard work and helps me with the care of our Daughter. Our Daughter has Rett syndrome with micro encephalopathy. Her physical ability compares with a 6 month old. She is on 3 seizure medications. Her prognosis was grim. Her life expectancy has been reassessed from 2 years to 30 years, maximum. She is now 55 years old and needs me more than ever.By God’s grace, I wake up every morning for 57 years, with the love of my life! So grateful! Thank you Dr Dhand for all your great advice. God bless all. ♥️

At 86, I fast walk every day. I have a beautiful forest to walk in. Life is good!

Walk as much as you can for as long as you can....your longevity depends on it.

A doctor who suggests exercise. That’s fresh.

Dick Van Dyke is living proof that lifelong activity and a positive attitude keeps you young.

I am in San Diego, 59, and walk 3-4 hours very early every morning. Just before COVID, while walking, I had met one of my neighbors who is Indian from India. He was 80 at that time and we started talking about walking and somehow I inspired him to walk longer. It had been a while since I had seen him and a few months ago when I saw him he hugged me for inspiring him to walk longer. He is now 84 years old and walks 17 miles EVERYDAY, he had walked 887 days straight as of the last time I had seen him a few months ago. He is now off most of his prescribed medication. He said he tells everyone about me how I inspired him to walk longer but I really think he is the one who is inspiring me to keep walking and never stop.

A few months ago, I had a herniated disc, and could barely get out of bed on my own power. I hadn't really done any good amount of walking for decades. After the inflammation subsided, I started walking- First a 1/8th mile, then ½, then 1 mile, etc. Every time I went out to walk, I could feel my back getting stronger. Now I'm approaching 4 miles a day, can pick up the grandkids, get in and out of low cars no problem. Not 100% yet, but much, much better. Lost weight, too! Walking is great for the body!

I am guilty of dropping off my walk routine. I need to get back to it! Thanks for reminding me!

I walk every day in a park close by, it’s beautiful, I’m retired 67 years old , I’m healthy, no pain,

I used to walk a lot. Then I used to walk/jog on treadmill at apartment clubhouse at 3 am before 5 am work. Then Covid and I had to retire or take the shot. Then I became sedentary. My son got me out and doing hikes in the woods and on trails. I started to feel better. Then he died a few months ago at age 29 and I gave up. Im 64. I cant give up. I need to find a safe place to walk which is my challenge, but I need to.

I am an 83 year old yoga/fitness instructor. I love your videos and wish you were my doctor. I agree with you and " preach the same sermon " to my clients. Most people think that I am 60-65 years young.

I walk with my mom most days, she’s 94. She can still get around the block with me (1 km) … slowly, using her cane 😊

I’m 70. Was diagnosed with high blood pressure, type two diabetes and three stone overweight. That was in September 2013. Changed my diet to no sugar, no cakes, eating much less. I walk 10k steps per day. Swim 3 times per week. Lost a stone and BP is mildly high and dropping. I feel much better.

I'm 67 years young, take no prescription medications, and walk in nature about 5 miles a day.

Walk on the sunny side of the street. Two health benefits, one simpel action 💪

So true Doctor. And the older we get the faster our muscles weaken and the longer it takes to get it back.

A quote from within the film, Shawshank Redemption. "Get busy living, or get busy dying."

I just turned 62. I walk 4-5 miles daily. I have been doing this daily for years and years. Praise Jesus! Get up and walk! Do it folks. Jesus loves you all!!

Got a german shepherd dog and my health has improved significantly....trail walks 2 to 3 times a day. Best companion. Game changer in my golden years.

At the age of 67, my dog motovates me every day, for his walkies. 🐕🥰

Dear Dr Dhand I'm 62 and I have recently given up my office job and I am now a dog walker. I have my own dog too. My dog gets walked for 2 hours each day and every dog I walk gets an hour. As well as that, I mostly walk between each dogs home. I'm out every day in nature and I love it. Thank you for your wonderful videos.

I'm 62. I recently moved to a more walkable area. Walkability was one of my main criteria in choosing where to move. I choose not to own a car. There are buses here but I have yet to take one in the 5 months I've been here. I have a little shopping cart that I pull to the grocery store. I actually enjoy my grocery walks the most because pulling the cart seems to help me feel more balanced and grounded. Almost like a reverse walker 😂 . I also sometimes use trekking poles. Shoes are very important. Appalachian trail hikers on KZfaq are the ones who know what shoes are best. I have worked up to an occasional 6 mile walk and it's fantastic. I want to keep walking and live to be "that crazy old lady who walks all over the place with her bag lady cart!" 😂 I was a crippled child and maybe that's made me now immensely appreciate the joy in the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other, getting out under the open sky, down tree lined sidewalks, sun or clouds either is beautiful to me, even the snow, hearing birds singing their hearts out in the early morning, feeling the breezes, enjoying every season. You see and hear and feel so much more on foot. And it's exhilarating and strengthening. I swear I can feel my bones getting stronger when I walk. 👣❤

Both my parents died in an old age home,I saw many people in those homes that were in terrible shape,and suffered accordingly,I am 68 and I am forcing myself to excercise and eat properly for the first time in my life!

While I understand your described method of walking, I would also say that it is very difficult to walk distances, if you have no core strength. It was suggested to me, a long time ago, to use trekking poles. I ignored the advice and really never could get in to walking because of extreme pain during and afterward. Btw, I gave birth to 4 kids without anything, so generally I can take pain. Wanting to be able to go long distances, I finally started using a set of trekking poles. I found that the extra stability allowed me to walk faster than my husband and waaay longer than without them. At the start of a 5 month trip to Alaska last summer, I was unable to walk around a city block, without them. By the end of the summer, in the same city, I jumped out of our vehicle and totally forgot to grab them. I had no problems walking. They made a big difference in helping me build up my core muscles and trained me to walk with a better posture. I love your content. You are a breath of fresh air!

When I retired, I looked around at various outdoor activities to do, as going for a walk wasn't enough ...so many required lots of $$, and/or other people to engage with to play any kind of game, golf, tennis, pickleball etc So...I took up stunt kite flying!... it's perfect for me..I get to be outside, tou are moving around, back and forth, walking backwards...thinking, hand eye coordination, etc..I've met other "kite people"...and am learning a new skill, and having a lot of fun. I also have single line kites too, and the joy that colourful kites floating in the breeze gives to others is worth all my efforts...so many positive, happy people comment as they walk by, looking up instead at their phones. I highly recommend this activity to everyone!

This is a huge wake up call. Ever since COVID, I have become very sedentary. It’s now time to get off of my good intentions and get moving again. Thanks for the reminder. 👍

As a 74 year old I walk miles daily after doing 30 situps and 30 pushups and 30 minutes of cardio karate exercises. I have always been a very active person and throughout my life have strode for exceptionalism in my exercise programs. I regularly have Traditional Chinese Acupuncture and feel like a 30 year old. I think this video is exceptional and congratulate Dr Dhand on his advice to older people. Stay active ...... Stay alive !!!!!

I am 69 old lady love walking. Thank you doctor❤

I’m a 66 year old woman. I walk, run and strength train. No health issues. When I don’t feel like getting out and exercising I remind myself that one day I won’t be able to and will regret not doing it when I could.

I am 65and have been walking uphill for 45 minutes every morning.I love the cool breeze and birds chirping along side as I walk.I also meet my kind of active people with smiles and good morning wishes.I have been doing this for past 35 years and this is my main source of joy that I look forward to in each and every day.I wish everybody experience this to keep healthy and happy.

I’m “pushing” 80. Walk every day, have for years, I walk. I. Nature, but also make a point of not parking near the door to stores. That way, I get an extra walk. I do a lot of art, drawing and painting, but I have to make sure that I get up and take a break. I walk around my house. I wash my car my car, vacuum, mop the kitchen floor, and I swim almost daily from May through September. I ear simple, whole foods, with one weakness…vanilla ice cream. I have no heart problems, no osteoporosis, no high BP, I’m 5’4”, 123 lbs., more or less. I do have osteoarthritis quite serious in my hands, especially my left hand, and a cervical problem from which I sometimes get pain in the back of my head. I manage these problems, take no medications except Advil if I have neck pain at night so I can sleep. I avoid all medical people like the plague. Sorry, I wrote an epistle.

Thank you for promoting walking for us humans.

The greatest example of a walker is Jesus Christ. Blessings all

I am 70 years old from Bintulu, Sarawak, Malaysia. I have been practising morning brisk walking for 30 mins 6 times per week for more than 30 years.

I'm 66 y.o. now. Last year I hiked 480 miles on a single trip. It does a lot of good at my age. The year before I slipped on loose rocks after 260 miles and dislocated a shoulder. Oh well. I hiked 9 more miles into town and took a train home. Live to hike another day. Keep up the great advice. Thanks.

Most people in the U.S. never walk much. They will drive around a parking lot looking for a space as close to the door as they can possibly get.

We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing. George Bernard Shaw

At 75, never drove, totally agile. Stairs are not a barrier.

wow! I'm 63 and well I'm listening to this video. I was already walking. I take walks in nature everyday twice a day and I'm only 135 lb very healthy and plan to stay that way as long as I can. and I really appreciate all your videos. you're the best doctor there is. thank you once again

I walk incline daily after weightlifting. Am 71. Have been doing similar routines since age 18.

Thank you. I’m 76. I have been getting more lazy and I have no real excuse. I try to blame my back pain from scoliosis but I know that my tendency to sit just exacerbates that and weakens my back muscles. I can always walk the hallways of my apartment building if weather is inclement so no excuses. See you in the hallways! 👋🤗

Great advice as always Dr. Dhand. I'm 67 and walk about 2 miles every day. It's a great way to clear your mind and take in the beauty around us. The world has gone bonkers in many respects, so taking a walk is a great reset. I'm paraphrasing an old Italian saying..." it's alright to take a nap after lunch, but after dinner you should take a walk". If you go to Italy you'll notice many people out in the evenings taking a "passeggiata".

Walking is my #1 exercise. The benefits are both physical and mental. I've been regularly walking for decades, and I consider it to be a key reason why I'm healthy.

"Not my type of Indian " that's gold 😂😂😂❤❤

Walk, it doesn't have to be a marathon. My walk every day is a highlight of the day. Thank you Dr Dhand.

I am 78,I don't like walking alone in the streets, but I have a great treadmill, I do an hour everyday, plus if I go out to do errands or have some outing.

I love hiking. Nothing better than being out in nature. A great mood boost. It helps to keep my joints more flexible so osteoarthritis doesn't hurt as much. I'm a post-menopausal woman, so weight control is also important to me. Hiking and walking help quite a bit.

I'm 67 and walked 20,000 steps today. A new record for me.

I will turn 79 this week. My wife and I cycle in the mountains most days, twenty kilometres or so including 15% gradients. We still ski and hike, we enjoyed six weeks skiing this year. We are both in excellent health, I haven’t seen my doctor since my last annual check a year ago. I really do urge people to make their health and fitness their number one priority when they retire because without your health you have nothing and you are a burden on others.

In the "old country" we are on our feet, walking and working all of the time, not for exercise sake, for necessity. No cars...Some times we'll ride bicycles, weather permitting. Mostly, it's walking...to our jobs (which also require being on our feet), to school, shopping, to events...etc. We don't even think about it. In USA and the West, people sit most of the time...and take numerous drugs if they don't feel good. When I don't feel like myself, I just step outside and start moving...

Recovering slowly from periphal neuropathy, I really miss my hikes, but i will get back at it! Thank you Doc for these shares!

Thank you Dr. Dhand, it is extremely important reminder. I am 61 and living in a high rise on 17th floor. Not very happy with it, but for a while, I won't be able to move. So, when life gives you lemons, you make some lemonade - I started to walk down the stairs daily, then up the stairs. At first it was hard to climb more than 3-4 floors before I needed a break, now, 3 months later, I I go up and down without even thinking about it, no break needed. Same with walking - it took me approx 6 weeks to come from barely being able to walk 15 minutes around my neighbourhood to walking 10 kilometres daily. I now feel like I'm 35 again 😊

I am 73yrs. I was diagnosed as T2 diabetic 20yrs. Back. My motto since then walk today and be healthy tomorrow. I come from South Asian country.

I walk loads. I'm 63, and I walk loads in my job. It really hurts my back, but I still do it.

I hope you'll make a video on resistance training as well. It's fantastic for older people. I'm 76 and it has really improved my life and my health.

I retired in October and my walking has decreased significantly. I can feel myself getting old fast. I need to heed your advice. Thanks for posting this.

Thanks Thomas Jefferson is my favorite president so you have inspired me to walk everyday. ❤😊😊

I am 58 and I force myself to go to the track even if I don't feel like it. It was hot today in Pa but I made sure i got a mile in. I just started back about a week ago and I have been there about 5 times so far. If it was a little cooler I would have done more but a mile is better than no mile.

Love walking, I walk everyday and do at least 7 km sometimes more always feel better for it, I’ve never regretted a walk 😊

I’m 63 and have been walking for exercise since my mid 20s. I go 3 miles every day as fast as I can go in almost all weather. The only thing that keeps me from it is ice in the winter as I’m very afraid of slipping and falling. Fresh snow is great (as is snowshoeing), it’s the ice that gets me. Then I exercise indoors, but it’s not the same. The day just isn’t quite right without my morning walk. Thanks for the encouragement to keep doing it.

I am 74 and a veteran.I have a habit of walking abt 15 miles per day for the last 30 odd years and i can testify what the good doctor says is very true.By God s mercy i have never been ill except for the ocasional coughs and colds Believe me getting sick is expensive business now.Rrmember the adage Health is Wealth

As always doctor you speak the truth as long as I can these legs will move outdoors in nature in the garden planting harvesting daily or preparing a new bed nature and the outdoors have been my salvation these past five years even as a young child on my grandparents garden next to a mountain stream … stay blessed Dr and thanking you for caring for us…

Thanks for stressing this as you age!! Keep those legs strong!!! I bought a Fitbit 27 months ago…(you get badges sent to you as you pass certain milestones) I just got my Nile badge. Walked 4132 miles! I swore I would never walk less than AT LEAST 7500 steps a day and only missed THAT MINIMUM 3 times. (One time I went to bed forgetting to check and I walked 7496!! So frustrating! 🤪) some days I go a lot further. I’ve recently started FIW (fast interval walking..3 minutes fast/regular, 5 intervals).. really good workout. I’ve started weights and doing beginner “knees over toes” guy exercises, which are really helpful for my knees-and leg strength! I’m 77 y/o female… no meds No sugar, ultra processed food or alcohol. I really appreciate your channel and the emphasis on self awareness and self regulation…and not buying into big pharma and big money medical. We have to do as much as we can for ourselves…especially as we age!!!

Doc…love the content. This video couldn’t be more true. My mom 79 is very sedentary she’s in terrible shape and when I talk to her about it I get push back…sad. I’m more of a fan of biking but I do walk around my place doing household work like mowing the lawn and general maintenance. And also go to the gym 4-5 days a week. I’m 59 and retired, wife is as well. Your health IS your wealth.

Gotta share about my father-in-law. Had quadruple bypass surgery just before he retired. After he got back on his feet, he started walking 2 miles a day. First thing in the morning, weather didn’t matter. He started to walk less after he turned 85, but kept walking. He’s not regularly walking now but still does some yard work. He’ll be 96 in August. I’m 66-1/2 and just got back from 2.4 miles. (I can be taught!)

I've believed this my entire life and have spent a lifetime of walking as much as I could.

Thank you so much for this video. I am 71 and spent the last year recovering from having both knees replaced. I was not diligent about doing PT on my own. I am walking about a mile a day now. However I realized by listening to this video that my posture and gait are NOT good. I didn’t even think about using my core for stability or just standing up straight. It made a difference! I LOVE your approach in all your videos; very sensible and straightforward. Thank you again!

This is a very important message, Dr. Dhand! Today I would even go so far to say: Do your exercises AND walk! Usually I do about 5000 steps every day. During my 3 weeks vacation this year I walked 12400 steps every day on average. My blood sugar improved, my legs became stronger, I ate somewhat more but my weight did not increase ... it slightly decreased!

Suneel you are 99% right. I am pushing 70 have had physical issues that have prevented walking. Dr was of no help. Paroxtine does not address real physical issues. Drs need to help folks deal with issues while increasing the walking. Rant over.

Daily exercise is essential for everyone, not just senior citizens.

Walking is certainly helping me with my stress, anxiety, and depression. I thoroughly recommend it. As a side note, Dr I love your jacket.

I could not agree more. As an 85 yr old woman I have started having walks in the morning at a nearby park. There has been such a great improvement in my body; it has been good for better digestion, greater energy, clear thinking and joy.

Dr. S.D., a huge thank you for the advice. And, btw, it's spot on. I spent about 6 yrs with 8 hr or longer in front of the computer & didn't get up from my chair so I allowed my leg & back muscles to deteriorate further. Now I'm having to rebuild those muscles &, trust me, it's VERY painful at my age greater than 70. My spouse tried to warn me but I didn't listen. I encourage everyone to get up & move & enjoy nature (e.g., flowers, birds, squirrels, trees, smell the fresh air, hear the breeze, etc. There's nothing on the computer/phone one can't view later.

My most enjoyable vacation was walking in the UP of Michigan. We walked for hours on the trails in the woods to see the beautiful waterfalls and the Lake Michigan shoreline. Walking in nature is an excellent anti-depressant!

Thank you!! It certainly makes sense!! I recently retired and I do need to walk more!! God bless you!!

Walking is a super power Fasting is a miracle

I must admit I don't walk a lot at 68yrs of age. I will try and follow this advice. BTW, there's a book called "The Exercise Myth" and it finishes by concluding that walking, and swimming are the best exercices.

I am 73 and been very happily married to my 49 year old gorgeous wife and I am not just saying that she really is for 19 and a half years. We have a very beautiful could be a model 18 year old daughter who graduated high school early and got her career going. I am about to go to bed and it is almost 9 pm so that I can get up at 330 am and walk on my treadmill that has nearly 3000 miles on it for an hour before I go to work which I still am working. I am 5’8’’ and as of this morning weigh 159. I walk at different speeds no slower than 4 mph and mostly at 4.2 or 4.4 and do various inclines most days. I been doing this for years along with crunches and weights. Most people tell me I look 50. I can tell you that walking and moving is a must daily. Thanks for your video.

You are indeed a blessed mother and so am I..thankyou Jesus for my precious children

Walking is essential over the age of 70. Trouble is most people of that age don't want to walk. So GET A DOG. If you love your dog you will love walking with it. No better little companion. I'm 79, have a mini Schnauzer and I walk 2 miles every day. I was told I have a body of a 55 year old. nice compliment but not sure they weren't being over kind.

Am a 65 year old guy and underwent a triple bypass in 2012. I was overweight/obese at 255 lbs (5'10) my BP would average in the 155-165 over 95-100+ range. Was prescribed Carvedilol as well as Amlodopine and Lipitor. Over the next year or so, post op, I was on a mission to wean myself off of any medications, much to my GP's and cardiologists chagrin. I did my due diligent research and decided I would implement fasting as well as a 'whole food' eating regimen and a whole lot of juicing. Just last week I had my yearly full physical. My weight is 170 (averages 168-174) as it has been for several years now. My BP averages 114-120/80-88. My total cholesterol is always under 200 with HDL being 72 and LDL 101 on average. My juicing regimen consists of celery, carrots, red beets, kale, with fresh ginger, and an apple for sweetness, and turmeric which I make a one gallon batch of and lasts pretty much all week which I sip on. I am also an avid walker, usually putting in at least 10k steps per day but it's not unusual to go 20k or even more. These are not walk around-the-block steps either, rather - they're (as I refer to them) considerable extended cardio exercizes. I live in the mountains of California north of L.A. and I 'section' hike parts of the Pacific Crest Trail which is anything but flat. On the contrary. Unrelenting 2,3,4, and more mile uphill grades are the geological norm. Of course, going up to the turn around point is half way there, then it's the downhill. Just today my fit bit confirmed 24,655 steps and 12.7 miles. Duration was 3.22 hours. I simply can not over emphasize the absolute transformation. As mentioned above, I am also an advocate of both, intermittant and long term fasting. I do OMAD (one meal a day) as well as a nothing-but-water 14 day fast, twice a year. My doctors had no answer when I told them years ago - I had been non-compliant and opted to pursue healthy whole foods, exercise, and fasting as my medicine. They simply tell me to 'keep on doing what you're doing'. Not in all cases, but certainly some, I am of the mindset that our 'medical system' here in the states is not a health care system at all, but rather a symptom appeasement program not addressing root causes of illnesses opting rather to take the edge off and prescribe a myriad of a medicinal 'cocktails' to numb the symptoms. Now, certainly there are people with health issues and conditions which absolutely require close professional supervision and medications to maintain some quality of life. I am NO doctor and can only speak to what MY life's challenges have taught me and the results I now benefit from. Fifteen years ago when I was 50. Nobody on Gods green earth would be able to convince me I'd weigh what I do now, NOR - be as active with the regimen I have adopted. My energy levels, endurance, cognitive ability, sleep quality, and overall healthy 'state of being' is as good as I can remember them ever being. I recall my grandfather on my dad's side who emigrated here from Austria in 1953 and lived to be 98 telling us two things to always remember. 1.) "Watch the pennies and the dollars wil take care of themselves." 2.) "Water in motion never stagnates. Stagnation takes place once the movement stops, so keep moving" You are so 'on point' Dr. Dhand. Thank you!

I am 78 and I appreciate that you offer some very helpful suggestions to help keep us healthy. I live in Colorado and boy during the winter it is difficult to walk outdoors. I am better at in the summer. I used to walk at the senior center. However I can't do that now. Thank you for caring about us older folks. Living longer lives is good if you are mobile and active. Thank you again. I will start walking more.

I’m 64 and 3 years ago realized after living on a working ranch for 17 years that we sold, that I needed to incorporate movement into my new life. I bought a bike & ride 17 miles 4-5 times a week. I recently got a Doberman puppy & walk 2-3 miles a day with her. The key is to always keep moving. Love your content and videos! Thanks for your honest & concise content!!

I love walking. My father has walked every day for a big part of his life, and he is 95.

Spot on!!! I started walking a lot in 2017 aged 61. Now 68, very fit, very healthy - no meds - even go to the gym twice weekly.

I’m 68 yrs old and I walk 6 days a week trying to to go 3 miles every morning, takes me 48 minutes, I walk on a treadmill at the gym with 4 or 5 buddies, I feel great and me and my boys laugh and have a blast while walking, Love the video and I don’t see myself stopping any time soon. Peace Sir

Love this time of year - up at 5.30am to walk my dog for an hour. And just about to walk to the shops. No phone, just fresh air and sea breeze. If you dont use it, you lose it. Great advice - a few months from 65 - but a lifetime of dogs keeps you on the move! Love to all from the UK

In the age of having a phone app or a remote device to do just about anything, from turning on/off the lights to ordering food, we are the laziest people that ever lived.

Always loved walking, I am 66 and now have severe arthritis in my knees, however, I may not be able to walk like I did, but, I purchased a Recumbent bike and use it several times a week, but, still, not as much as I should !!!

So true. The best thing I did was start taking public transportation to work some 7 years ago just before retirement. This got me into daily fast walking and I never looked back.

Couldn't agree more. I'm 68 now, freshly semi-retired from the practice of medicine and am known as "the walker". I average somewhat over 3000 miles/year and my BMI is still about 23.

Started daily one mile minimum walks 3 yrs ago. Lost half a lung years ago and was really sick. I started Jan 1 2022 and now average around 90 miles per month. I have lost 50 lbs and now I can eat anything and everything and not gain an ounce! It's so danged fun! At 70 I am enjoying the process!

Our bodies were designed to move!

I’ve had to sit with my foot up high for 2 months, because I fell, and broke my foot in three places 😢 Starting to walk again slowly, and can’t wait to get back to walking, and hiking again! Thanks Dr for another great video 💕👍

I'm a new subscriber in London, England, and I'm delighted to have found your channel. 7 years ago I developed PMR and could barely get out of bed in the morning, let alone walk. Later, during the covid lockdowns we were very restricted in the amount of walking we could do. I got out of the habit of walking very much. Now, at 73 and free of PMR, I've got back into the habit of regular walking, aiming for 5,000 to 6,000 steps most days. While I enjoy walking alone, I also find it beneficial to have a longer walk as part of a group once a week, exploring different areas of our great city. Apart from the exercise benefits, this is an excellent way to meet new friends and to combat loneliness.

Another blessing to having a dog!.........My Pomeranian mixed dog loves to walk with me 2 times a day...7 DAYS a week/ I Also do light hand weights 3/5 lbs.....I Do 30 t0 40 squats DAILY, ...30vto 50 reps WITH my hand weights .........I eat a flexible vegetarian way of eating and maintaining my yearly health maintenance....LOTS of water....NO SUGARY FOODS OR DRINKS.....NO RED MEAT OR PORK....NO DELI MEAT OR BREAKFAST MEATS.....NO FAST FOOD OR FROZEN MEALS....ALL OF MY MEALS ARE COOKED AT HOME (I LOVE COOKING)......I love cold pressed extra virgin olive oil...raw organic honey....multi grain bread....wild caught Alaskan salmon, halibut, flounder, lean turkey and chicken, sardines and tuma in water/wild caught....low fat plain Greek yogurt...lots of fresh fruit and vegetables...etc.....Very little stress, I'm spiritual, PRAY DAILY , meditate,.....IT WORKS!

Iam 64 and I walk every day. If it’s hot or extreme cold I don’t but I do stretching indoors. Very active! I always feel better
