How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are? – Satchel Paige
Do you remember how great your body felt when you were young? Flexible and strong, it could do anything and take you anywhere with little effort. When you were a teenager you likely bounded out of bed in the morning without giving it a second thought. Anything you wanted to do you could do. Run, jump, play any sport you wanted. Wasn’t it great?
As we begin to age, however, things begin to change. For most of us as early as our mid twenties we start to acquire little aches and pains that make us realize that we’re not as young as we used to be. Whereas before we would seemingly instantly recover from any athletic activity it now wears on us. What’s worse is that overtime these little aches and pains start to accumulate. People react to this new reality in various ways. Some people try and fight it with a combination of drugs like Ibuprofen and shear stubbornness. Others, unfortunately, give up and simply cut back on or even eliminate the activities and sports they once enjoyed. As the years fly by many people’s bodies seem to degenerate to the point where even the most basic movements become difficult. Getting out of bed can become a struggle and walking requires a cane. Most people simply accept this as being a part of the natural aging process. It’s simply a fact of life and nothing can be done about it. Right? Wrong!
The fact of the matter is that it is not true that aging and increasing decrepitude walk hand in hand. Consider our animal friends in nature. Do their bodies start to fall apart as they age? Have you ever seen a Cheetah running at full speed having to stop due to a pulled hamstring? Why is it that the aging process is seemingly so different between our animal relatives and us? Can we learn something from them?
The answer, it won’t surprise you, is yes. The fact of the matter is that all vertebrate mammals posses incredible self-healing abilities. By instinct all mammals are able to access these abilities to keep their bodies in tiptop shape, including humans. The problem for human beings is that as our higher brain functions become active we lose these instincts. This book is all about teaching you to regain this animal anti-aging instinct so that you can rejuvenate your body and feel great again, no matter what your age.
