younger or older than your actual age.”
Roizen adds uncon- trolled portion sizes, tobac- co use and physical inactiv- ity to the list of life-shorten- ing lifestyle options.
Align with Spirit “If you don’t have some kind of spiritual foundation, literally, God help you,” says Northrup. “God isn’t con- fined to a book or a church, mosque or synagogue. Divinity is the creative loving, vital flow of life force that we’re all part of and connected to. Our bodies are exquisite expressions meant to embody, not deny our spirits.” Touch, pleasure and sex can be part of it, too. Individuals that have the most fulfilling sex lives live the longest, according to researchers conducting the University of California, Riverside’s Longevity Project. “Pleasure comes in infinite forms,” says Northrup. “It can mean the exquisite taste of a pear or the sound of an angelic symphony, the kiss of sun on skin, the laughter of a child, spending time with friends or creating a pastel landscape. When you experience pleasure, God comes through and you become aware of your divine nature.
You’ll find that joy comes in ways that are unique to you.” Connection with the
natural world is an essential element of agelessness, says Northrup. “The human body evolved to walk on the Earth, drinking its water, breath- ing its air and basking in its sunlight.” The bottom line is, “Agelessness is all about vitality. Taking all the right supplements and pills, or get- ting the right procedure isn’t
the prescription for anti-aging,” says this renowned physician. “It’s ageless living that brings back a sense of vibrancy and youthfulness.” We could live to be well over
100 years old and, as Northrup likes to paraphrase Abraham Hicks, of The Law of Attraction fame, “Wouldn’t you rather have your life end something like this: ‘Happy-healthy, happy-healthy, happy-healthy, dead.’ Isn’t that a lot bet- ter than suffering sickness, decrepitude and frailty for years?”

Age-Defying Exercise by Kathleen Barnes
pecially designed movements performed to music can dramatically improve memory, as well as slow the process of physical aging, according to Denise
Medved, of Hendersonville, North Carolina, the founder of Ageless Grace. Medved’s foundational physical and mental exercise classes involve 21 ex-
ercises that promote brain plasticity by activating all five functions of the brain: analytic, strategic, kinesthetic learning, memory/recall and creativity and imagi- nation. Find videos of Ageless Grace exercises by searching YouTube, including this one:
n While sitting in a chair (all exercises are taught in this position to develop core strength), make a circle with the right lower arm.
n Add a triangular motion with the left foot. n Next, add a horizontal movement with the left hand. n Finally, do the entire series in reverse.
Classes are available in all 50 states and in 12 countries. To find a teacher near- by, visit
