Tougher than you think…I’ve discovered it might have something to do with pain, unfortunately………I’ve always been perky……I’d pop out of a chair and hit the ground running just to get to the kitchen between commercials. Cats would scamper out of the way… Man, if I did that now, my blood pressure medicine would make me so dizzy I’d be worried about falling down, hopefully not on a cat…..! Old age is fun!
The best advice I’ve found for maintaining good posture as you age is to stand up as tall as possible and pull your shoulders down as far as possible. No need to arch your back or pull your shoulders back or anything uncomfortable like that. And I put a daily “Stand up” on my iPhone Reminders to prevent backsliding :-)
@Comicsssfan. Bovines eat grass and grains,no meat,yet I doubt there’s one that can throw a baseball,let alone pitch a 100 pitch game.They don’t look very healthy at all as a matter of fact.Meat isn’t the problem with our diet,it’s all the grains that were introduced a few thousand years ago.

Did Arlo retire and I missed it? I never see him working or going to work. He never even mentions it.

A lot of it is your mental attitude towards aging.

My wife made me print this one out and stick it on the refrigerator! So now I walk straighter when I go back to my recliner!
