Yes genes do influence
ageing. There may be a clockwork mechanism that make us age too. But through proper life-styles,
one can increase his life-span by up to 30 years!
All our limbs and
organs can function well up to 120 years.
It is our mental outlook which invite ageing.
Decaying is a universal phenomenon. But our mind can control the decay of our body tissues.
It is not fully true that old age leads us to death. Death is brought about by diseases like BP, cancer, heart attack, TB, Pneumonia, AIDS, other contagious illnesses and so on.
Yes, ageing is inevitable. Bu thinking that one will have to be senile and useless in old age is totally unfounded. There are many who enjoy youthfulness in old age. There are people who have all their organs functioning well up to 100 or 110.
One’s life style, goals, intense desires, activity level, full occupation, and all will determine one’s mental and physical conditions. It is not necessary that because one is
decrepit at 90 another should also be decrepit.
If you exercise you body and brain, control food, and live for certain aims, you can be as healthy at 90 as another one is at 60. You can easily add thirty to forty years to your life.
