A Few Tips on Growing Older Gracefully

There’s a list of 10 tips on how to grow older gracefully at the HGH Anti-Aging Blog.

Some of the tips are the same old stuff — ‘eat right and stand up straight’ kind of stuff. But some are really useful and clever, such as:

Skip a meal each day or fast a day each week. Eating less food appears to reduce tissue wear and tear from excess blood sugar, inflammation and free radicals.

Get a pet. Pet owners suffer less from depression and high blood pressure.

Get medical help for chronic pain. Chronic pain dampens the immune system, can cause depression and tends to elevate levels of the noxious stress hormone cortisol.
