Aging Fears
People fear aging because they do not understand it. Why fear something that is inevitable? Education is the key to aging. Most look for a quick fix such as plastic surgery, mega-vitamins, or a wonder drug that promises a longer life. Quality of life has a direct impact on how we treat our bodies and conduct our lives. Eating fast food, snacking, eating too much, lack of exercise, stress, economic hardship, drinking alcohol to excess, and isolation lead to shorter lifespans and other negative consequences. More tomorrow. Dr. Jan Vinita White, PhD, Gerontologist and Aging Consultant
