Introduction
Reading this book will not change your life. Using the information in this book to take appropriate action will change your experience of every day for the rest of your life. You can start right now by reading more actively. Choose a form of note taking and make sure you have access to it whenever you pick up this book. I prefer a good old fashioned notebook and coloured pens. You may be more comfortable with a phone or computer. We will refer to this as your journal. Keep track of everything that makes an impression. If something triggers a memory, describe the memory in your notes. Keep a record of everything that feels relevant. There will also be places where I ask you to make notes. The impact this book makes in your life depends purely on the amount of effort you put in. Make the most of it.
The main aim of this book is to provide you with the tools to create a personal plan to manage the process of aging in a way that allows you to let go of the fear and enjoy the journey. Yes I know, if you wanted a text book you would have looked in the science section not self help but please bear with me for a bit. We do need to discuss some of the concepts of this field of study because they are relevant to understanding the context in which the benefits of stretching become meaningful to us.
This book could be considered a part of the science of Gerontology. What does that actually mean?
According to The Encyclopedia Britannica:
Gerontology can be defined as the science of the finitude of life as expressed in the three aspects of longevity , aging, and death, examined in both evolutionary and individual (ontogenetic) perspectives. Longevity is the span of life of an organism. Aging is the sequential or progressive change in an organism that leads to an increased risk of debility, disease, and death. Senescence consists of these manifestations of the aging process.
In other words, were looking at the limitations of human life in terms of how long we live as well as the process of how our bodies change in ways that make us more susceptible to injury or disease and ultimately results in death. Senescence (which will be our main focus) is about how the body deteriorates with age.
The theories about aging can be divided into three major categories:
The first theories of aging were Disengagement theories. These describe how people withdraw from social activities as they get older and what effect the withdrawal has on the aging process. We have a definite age for retirement, usually 65. This is when most people leave the workplace. Something that occupied them for 40 hours a week is suddenly no longer a part of their lives. Withdrawal from other social interactions can also be caused by physical illness. Somebody with gout or arthritis may not be able to play sports anymore. This affects the relationships with their friends who can still participate in those sports.
Activity theory is a response to disengagement. It looks at how continuing to participate in the world affects peoples rate of aging. It seems we can live healthier, happier and longer lives if we keep forming and maintaining relationships and remain involved in social activities.
Continuity theory expands on activity theory to investigate how we try to hold on to our roles and activities from when we were younger. Our self concept and personality tend to remain consistent regardless of changes in our health and abilities. When we are no longer capable of performing specific functions, we find similar activities to replace them.
Start thinking about where you fit into these theories and how to work towards finding balance. For now you can just list the basic ideas and the relevance of each of them in your life. Make notes of things you do or have stopped doing at different ages. Look at your relationships with family, friends and coworkers.
Your observations about this will change as you work through the book. be sure to leave a lot of space under each heading to fill in more details later.
We start dying from the moment we are born. Every breath we take is one step closer to death. The average length of time between birth and death is our lifespan. Life expectancy refers to the average lifespan and can differ according to demographics while longevity is a longer than average life span. Life expectancy has grown by as much as 30 years in some countries in the last century. We generally become more aware of our mortality as we reach the end of each decade after we celebrate adulthood at 21. This may happen because we feel our bodies deteriorate with the passage of time and the accumulated effects of the way we have treated our bodies.
I have taken reasonably good care of my body, doing yoga and running 10k races for more than 25 years now. People always told me that my metabolism would change at some point. First they said it would happen when I had a child. I returned to my pre-pregnancy weight and activity levels within two months of childbirth. Then it was going to happen when I turned 30. It didnt. At 40 I was still the same weight and had the same energy levels. Just as I was starting to accept that I was immune to this process of aging, it hit me hard and fast. I put on about 20 pounds in six weeks. That was the point at which I started researching this book.
I noticed that my physical and mental abilities were starting to slip. Losing weight was suddenly an effort. My lung capacity wasnt as great as it used to be. I started forgetting little things, like Id get to the store and realize that Id left my shopping list at home so I started my lists on my phone so that I would have it with me all the time.
Now I'm looking at what the future might hold so I can be prepared to handle things like losing my hearing, getting cataracts, macular degeneration and all the other common elements of aging. These are realistic possibilities for the future but theres no way to predict when or even if they will actually manifest. Continuing with the yoga and adding other stretching exercises could help me to delay or maybe even prevent the onset of gout and arthritis.
