Growing Old Gracefully


Everybody has to grow old but growing old without pain is what we all want. 
The journey from birth to old age depends on how we spend our lives---giving due respect to our body and mind, right from childhood will give better results at our old age. Our old age is directly proportional to the lives we spend before we step in old age. The process can be expedited or worsen if we do not take care of ourselves in our youth. The following are a few tips to age gracefully.

1. Be Active: Both physically and mentally. Participate in healthy activities for at least 30 minutes daily. Exercise. Join a Gym, take a walk and be active at least 4 times a week--keep the joints moving. Remember, exercise is not only a prevention but a natural treatment to many diseases.

2. Pray. Daily prayer appears to help your immune system. And people who attend a formal worship service regularly live longer and report happier, healthier lives.
 





3. Yoga or meditation. Learn to meditate. It's important for your brain that you learn to shut out the stresses of everyday life. Other than various relaxation exercises, learn the art of breathing.
  
4. Personal Growth. Invest in your personal growth. Read books, join classes which you always wanted to do but did not have time before. Write and read something daily. Write your experience of life, maybe your autobiography. Writing & reading stimulates many areas of the brain.

5. Sleep. Get enough sleep because lack of sleep causes dementia.

6. Family first. Be connected with your family and enjoy the time with children, grandchildren and even great-grandchildren.

7. Love. Keep the love alive---with your near and dear ones. Never think that love is only for teenagers and young couples. You can be in love even now.

8. Nature. Enjoy the nature and be with nature---take a walk near the seaside, forest or river/lake.

9. Social Cause. Involve yourself with social causes---help & serve people who need your help. One that I am involved in is finished : reduce night blindness from the world. http://vision-foundation.com/

10. Play. Playing board games such as Chess, Scrabble and Monopoly, tax your brain and at the same time, you're socializing too. Even playing solo games, such as solitaire or online computer brain games can be helpful.

11. Food. Eat more fruits and vegetables: Antioxidants in fruits and vegetables mop up some of the damage caused by free radicals, one of the leading killers of brain cells. The elderly person's diet should be high in nutrient-dense food, but low in high-fat food, due do diminished energy needs. 



12. Food Supplements. Consume natural supplements to detox your body and keep your brain healthy. Food supplements like Lion's Mane, Spirulina and Cordyceps candies, Noni Juice& Reishi mushroom help in keeping your cells healthy in both your brain and body.

Enjoy your old age.... enjoy every moment of it.

Helping the Night Blind Children


Eyesight and to see the world is one of the greatest blessings from God to us. Ask a person who could see and now has become blind due to night blindness or retinitis pigmentosa (RP). I met such a person, Akram Lodhi, who had become blind due to RP. He is now the Chairman of the Vision Foundation (www.vision-foundation.com) and helping the blind children in Pakistan. 

 
I took a deeper look into this ill fated disease and did some research on night blindness. I was shocked to read the harsh facts. The WHO estimates 13.8 million children to have some degree of visual loss related to vitamin A deficiency. Approximately 500,000 children in the developing world go blind each year from insufficient vitamin A. Approximately half of those children die within a year of becoming blind. http://www.who.int/nutrition/topics/vad/en/ In order to see the problem first hand, I traveled to a village about 50 KM outside Karachi, Pakistan. I could not believe my eyes when I saw the plight of the night blind children.
I thought that blindness is an incurable disease but to my surprise I saw the positive results and held those children who after taking Spirulina and Reishi mushroom could see after a few months. That was the time, I decided to join hands in this noble cause.
Through my humble efforts, DXN network and support of people around the world, I promise to help as many children as possible to get back their eyesight. Since the project started in Pakistan, I will continue to see further results and take this mission further to India, Bangladesh, Nepal, The Philippines, Africa and the rest of the world.
The project is huge and the total cost for 6 months for one child is about 800$. My appeal to you is to come forward, take one blind child and help her/him so that they can see the world. Or just donate any amount of Spirulina and Reishi. Please get in touch with Mr. Zarif Ahmed, Country Manger of DXN Pakistan and he will guide you as to how you can transfer the money. nightblindness2012@gmail.com
God bless you.
