The myth of ageing

And none can touch that frowning form,

Except it be a Woman Old; (The mental traveller by william blake)

Can eating nutrient food and pills make you age gracefully?

The answer is yes and no.

This conclusion is based on my working experience as an assistant fitness coach for elderly fitness class. Sometimes I would exchange with the coach, seeing if personality is corrleated to the health condition of an individual.

One of the coaches told me that people who are more optimistic have lower blood pressure, compared with those who are less optimistic.

Apart from that, I also recognized an interesting pattern: Individual’s health condition is not correlated to the effort they put to achieve their goals.
