Staying Vibrant in the Later Years

I went on a 50 mile bike ride today. It was with the Louisville Bicycling Club, which means we met at a local park, then headed off into the beautiful Kentucky country land, east of Louisville. The group included two 73-year-olds. Let me say that again. TWO!! Nearly 3 times my age! And they regularly go on 50, and even 100 mile bike rides. Wow. If I could make a wish, it would be to be able to be as active as they are at that age. That also got me thinking that simplicity and consistency are likely the keys to good health. There’s no need to be complicated with fancy fad diets that cut out all of (insert food group here). Or complicated workout plans that target “your lower abs”, etc. I doubt these concepts existed 50 years ago when they were my age. But these two individuals have been active for their entire lives. That, with a dose of good luck, produces really remarkable results. -->
