As we get older, our levels of energy, ability and agility can slowly start to decrease, making us change our day-to-day lifestyles.
We asked our readers how they handle these changes, and the response was overwhelming. Here’s what they said.
Margo Courtney – Eat clean and healthy and your body will reward you with heaps of energy and vitality. I have a very big green smoothie most days as one of my 2 meals, along with 2 litres of water a day, and I don’t even need much sleep.
Ron Stubbs – Up at 8am, can’t be late for my walk in the sun, and feeling great. Don’t need afternoon snooze then. I’m 77.
Kristeen Bon – I don’t handle them. I flop on the couch most afternoons for a quick five minute interior eye check!
Sylvia Brice – I have an autoimmune disease so my levels of energy are way down. I do what l can in small bursts and rest when l need to. Luckily l read and craft so can always do them. It’s very hard to adapt but that’s life and l am so much better for off than younger people with my disease. Think positive.
Judie Fisher – Do chores in small stretches, and have regular breaks.
Diane Green – Adjust. I do what I can, and what I can’t just has to wait.
Raymond Richards – As they told us at the heart clinic, if you have something you HAVE to do – do it first.
Janis St George – Listen to your body – rest awhile when you need to.
Kaylene Samuels – Have a SCAN….. Seniors Compulsory Afternoon Nap.
