Take a moment. Imagine yourself 25 years from now. Some of u would be retired. Some of u might be visualising urself enjoying at a holiday home with family. Some maybe CEO of a corporate or a high flying entrepreneur. Some as political leader or religious guru. 1/6
Your goals and aspirations may differ but am sure nobody paints themselves as obese, someone who can’t bend to tie their shoes. Someone so frail that getting up from a chair becomes a Herculean task. Yes as you age your hairs will thin, u will have wrinkles,2/6
your steps aren’t quiet springy, but imagine no wheelchairs, no canes. Whatever u r doing, u r doing with the energy of someone half ur age. Your body isn’t standing on your way. How am I so sure? Because I am living, breathing proof..3/6
And neither I was an athlete in my younger days nor am a trainer coach or nutritionist or doctor. I have a body that’s ageing in reverse. At 55, having metabolic age of 38. Isn’t exercising daily better than heart surgery?4/6
Change ur mindset. What is difficult now will be vastly better in future. U save for ur retirement without even knowing that u will live that long. Or will that be even sufficient. U never question savings. Similarly make healthier life choices today to avoid sickness,..5/6
..improve longevity, and decline later on. Take care of ur sleep, nutrition, exercise. Take care of your body. Find your killer confidence. Ping me if u have any question. Happy to help. #fitafter50 6/6

How to take care of your feet.
Feet are easy to neglect. But taking a few simple steps to care for your feet should be part of your overall strategy for maintaining mobility.
Maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight affects your feet by putting greater force on them with each step. It can increase your risk of having a condition like arthritis in the feet, and it can worsen pain from other foot problems. Being overweight can also harm foot health by putting you at higher risk of diabetes or poor blood circulation, which can lead to foot pain and loss of sensation in the feet.
Wear good shoes. Numerous common foot issues stem from wearing tight, ill-fitting shoes, particularly high heels. According to a survey conducted by the American Podiatric Medical Association, 49% of women wear high heels, and three-quarters of them experience pain as a result. Opting for comfortable shoes throughout your lifetime is one of the most effective preventive measures you can take to safeguard your mobility.

At some point, after rushing through school, rushing to get a job, rushing the kids around, and rushing to meet deadlines, life yanks our leash. Hard. And we – jarred and confused, or simply cut short in our overweening exuberance and busyness – are forced to notice that we ain't so young any more. Things change. Stuff happens.
One fine morning when you wake up and think: How the heck did this all happen? Somehow, you're different. You can't say why, or how, or when it happened. You're just… different.
Both men and women go through a “pause” in their lives – a transition between youth and older age when there are important physiological and psychological changes. You may find it harder to lose fat, and maybe even that fat distributes differently – around the midsection and deeper in the visceral cavity.

Planning your retirement. here's what you can do at the right age.
In Your 20s - As young adults, we're often told to start saving for retirement. But with the pressure of making ends meet and the allure of instant gratification, many of us find it difficult to think about our future selves. Although it may be difficult to understand at the time, there are many benefits of early retirement planning that can positively impact the employment and retirement choices you have later in life.
Work over time. You have health and time available. Target to pay any education loan you have taken. Start your EPF account. Aim should be to save minimum 15% post tax money for your retirement including going in EPF.

Sharing pointers from 6 decades of experience.
1) Life is a mix of good and bad. You can't avoid either. Expect both to happen. Don't complain when they do. Be open to all experiences and learn from them.
2) Prepare for setbacks, even in areas where you've done well before.
3) Not everyone will like you. Your kindness won't change that. Be fair to all, but don't try too hard to please others. Accept that some people won't like you.
4)Be careful who you trust. A nice smile doesn't mean a kind heart. People have roles in your life. When their part ends, they leave. Stay strong. Care for those around you.

Blood Pressure is a silent killer. 30% of Indians between 18-54 have never got BP measured. Some important information for you about Blood pressure.
Blood pressure is the amount of force your blood uses to get through your arteries. When your heart pumps, it uses force to push oxygen-rich blood out to your arteries. They bring it to your body’s cells and tissues. If your blood pressure is too high, it can cause health issues. The only way to know your blood pressure is to measure it.
It is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and is expressed as two numbers, systolic pressure and diastolic pressure. The systolic pressure is the higher number, and it represents the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats. The diastolic pressure is the lower number, and it represents the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats. A normal blood pressure reading is around 120/80 mmHg.

Do you breathe through your mouth sometimes while going through your daily routine?
Do you breathe through your mouth while sleeping? Waking up with a dry mouth is a sign.
Do you snore?
Observe your breathing right now – are you breathing from the chest or abdomen?
Do you sigh regularly?
Do you hear yourself breathing during rest?
Answering yes to even one of these questions means that you are over-breathing. These are typical symptoms of what happens when the amount of air we breathe is more than we need. Just as over-eating is bad for the body, so is over-breathing.
How fit are you? Take the BOLT Test.
Take a small gentle breath through your nose and release a silent breath through your nose.
Hold your nose after you breathe out with your fingers to prevent air from entering your lungs.
Count the number of seconds until you feel the first definite need to breathe.
You may feel a jerk in your abdomen or around your neck. Release your nose and breathe through it.
Your inhalation should be calm at the end of breath. If you are breathing heavier than normal means you have over-held your breath.
Note your time. The ideal BOLT score for a healthy individual should be 40 seconds.
