Being younger and clever is a dream for most of us. Could we stop time and be physically and mentally fit at our peak performance? Doctor Henry S. Lodge explains that we are capable of doing it. He rejects plastic surgery because it is cheating.
Interrupt constant aging
Does it sound like a fantasy? Yes and no. We all be old, sooner or later. But it is critical to what kind of well-being we will reach the golden age.
Doctor Henry S. Lodge states that people are created to move. Information for survival is in our genes. Because if we are not strong enough to jump from one point to another, we would be a tasty breakfast for a dinosaur Rex or lion.
It does not matter that we live in another era. Information for survival is in our genes, coded in our DNA.
When we exercise, our cells signal that they need to grow instead of fade. Cells grow everywhere in our bodies. It is known that renewal time is different for various cells. For example, blood cells live just ten days; muscle cells live around three months.
Our bodies are made of trillions of cells, which live and die after a few weeks or months. They were replaced with brand-new cells. It means that some parts of our bodies are entirely new every period. It is fascinating.
What does it signal to you?
In our bodies, cells are replaced by 1% every day. It looks like we are getting a new body every three months. Listening to Doctor Henry S. Lodge, those exercises enormously influence our cells; it is our decision what to choose. Choose between precious aging and aging accompanied by obesity, pain, and low self-worth.
We will choose how these new cells will behave. If we exercise, they will be active. If we spend countless hours watching TV or playing video games without moving, aging will take over.
Our cells listen to us. They react to signals which we send to them. If we exercise, they will be secure; if not, they will decay.
Be younger and clever.
You know this information now. What kind of choices will you make? At these busy times, I know the gap for exercising is uncomfortable. Anyway, choosing stairs instead of the elevator, walking to your work or after work, going to sleep earlier, and getting up more prior will allow you to at least move more compared with spending hours sitting or sleeping too much.
You need to make up your mind. Of course, it is another deal if your job is not in the office. You are okay if you move a lot during your career, performing tasks.
Are our bodies smart?
Yes, they are. You would ask how your cells know when to decay and when to grow healthy. Information hidden in our DNA about survival was and is all-time in our bodies. It does not matter if we live now in a comfortable environment. To survive, our ancestors moved when they hunted for food, escaped from predators, and fought with intruders. The movement was and is a signal to our cells to grow.
When you exercise, muscles release select chemicals which tell your cells to grow. In another way, sedentary muscles give the signal to cells to decay. Which version is better for us? I would choose the first way: move as much as possible.
Men, who exercise, cut their risk of dying of heart attack by 75% over five years; women have a higher percentage of 80% when they start to use their bodies.
It looks like a miracle but is not a marvel because it is in our biology.
Cross-check your emotions
According to Dr.Henry S. Lodge, emotion is the critical signal to our cells. It can be more important to compare it with exercise. Negative emotions such as anger, sadness, and loneliness are starvation and constant danger signals. These feelings make our cells weaker and prompt them to decay.
Other emotions, such as optimism, love, joy, and hope, trigger our cells to grow and renew as the time comes. People who have families and friends are more likely to survive a few times after a heart attack than people who live alone without social support.
Emotions play a significant role in our lives. We must be more open, cultivate humility and forgiveness, volunteer, and help each other.
As Dr. Henry S. Lodge said: “Deep in our cells, down at the level of molecular genetics, we are wired to exercise and care.”Be younger and clever, using your body abilities.
An update
The dear doctor is no longer on this Earth. He lived long live till 86. However, his ideas and knowledge resonate with the famous Dr.Bruce Lipton, whose lectures and books attract millions of grateful readers and viewers.
Here is an excerpt from a YouTube video that tells the opposite of mainstream media:
I believe that what we don’t use, will deteriorate, and quickly too if we have passed our growth. That includes our physical and mental faculty. I’m in my 30s and I start to make it a point to exercise and meditate. The fact is, it is almost imposible to rebuilt our physical and brain muscle after they have depleted.
Hi Kenny, I do not agree what if you will live simple life, your brain will be in a bad shape. It depends on many factors. If you did not have history of dementia, your chances are better. What is interesting, that we can train our brains at every stage of age. Of course, it is easier when we young, because we do not have so many bad habits and we are more flexible. As Earl Nightingale told, that if we use our minds we can learn many languages, cite encyclopedias and finish few colleges, just we need to think about and make up our minds.
Hi Nemira, articles like this is a constant reminder for me to age gracefully inside out. There’s something about entering your mid 30s that make you feel very conscious about your health. At least that’s the case for me.
A lot of chronic diseases that are triggered during your younger age will show up at this point and it puts your next 30 years of life into a good perspective. I choose optimism over negativity because it makes me look forward to my future even more.
Hello, Cathy. I think that we all not will live forever but we can be constantly thankful for our lives. Sometimes we do not know how to take of ourselves. Wrong lifestyle, some genes make a fuss, constant negativity can lead just to worse situation. Reading a lot, hearing feedback and comparing various sources of information, we can find a way how to escape time trap. Everything is in our heads. We became what we think about. All the best, Nemira.
