Did anyone catch Oprah today? She had her new Dr buddies on talking about aging. They talk about stress and something called telemires. Also a blood test called the Biophysical 250. I found it very interesting how a expensive blood test can tell us about our bodies now and in the future. Also the good Doctor said there now is medical proof that with the proper care our bodies can repair the damage that comes along with illness and aging process...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Why do we think that we are made to live forever, to never feel bad, to never change from our 21-year old selves?
Not all of the aging process is terrible - it is nice to be a bit wiser, a bit calmer, to be able to look back and smile at good memories, to have learned from bad experiences, and to have friends I've know for 38 years.
I wish medicine could cure us of our maladies, but I wouldn't want to live forever - that seems like way too much work!
I also believe we can reverse things. Maybe not all our sickness but a lot of it.
This is Dr Oz site at Discovery. He will be on tonight 9:00 central time.

i haven't seen that show on oprah.the dr.has been on there with alot of good advice.montel also does some good show's too.
it's hard to know how our lives will go.i believe something's are reverseable and some are not,but some can be slowed down.
i'm no genius,but i think stress is one of the worse thing's.so we have to try when we can to have a good attitude and good sense of humor.take each day as it comes and live that day to the fullest.even if it mean's having a rest day.that's good too.i wish you the best of luck.
