ဤေခါင္းၾကီးပုိင္းသည္ အသက္ႀကီးသူႏွင့္ အသက္ငယ္သူဆုိရုိးပါ၍ အေတာ္ဂြက်ပါသည္။ Youthful ကုိဘ၀ရဲ႔ အေကာင္းဆုံး၊ အစုိျပည္ဆုံးအခ်ိန္ဟု သတ္မွတ္သည့္အခါ ထုိသူသည္အင္အားအျပည့္ဘ၀၌ ဘ၀အေၾကာင္းကုိသင္ယူႏုိင္သည့္ အေျခအေနရွိေၾကာင္းသိရပါသည္။
သူနဲ႔ေျပာင္းျပန္ၾကည့္လုိက္ေတာ့ Ageing သည္ အသက္ၾကီးေသာသူ၏အေျခအေနကဘ၀မွအေျခာက္ေသြ႔ ဆုံး ဆံပင္ျဖဴအေရျပားေတြေျခာက္၊ ကုိယ္ကရႈံ႔တြေနၿပီး အေျခအေနကုိဆုိလုိျခင္းျဖစ္ပါသည္။ ဒီအေျခ အေနႏွစ္ခုရဲ႔အက်ိဳးအေၾကာင္းျပန္လည္ေတြးေတာတဲ့အခါလူေတြကုိကေလးအျဖစ္ေမြး၊ ေနာက္က်ေတာ့
ေလးဘက္သြား၊ ေနာက္က်ေတာ့ ႏွစ္ဖက္သြား၊ ေနာက္က်ေတာ့ အသက္ၾကီးလာရင္ၾကီးလာသလုိ အသက္ ၇၀၊ ၈၀၊ ၁၀၀ အျဖစ္သတ္မွတ္ၾကပါသည္။ သုိ႔ေသာ္ youth လူငယ္မ်ားအျဖစ္ သတ္မွတ္ရာ တြင္ ေလးဖက္ သြားႏွင့္ မတ္တပ္ရပ္အသက္ႀကီးေသာ သူတုိ႔၏အသက္ၾကားထဲကုိ သတ္မွတ္ၾကတာမ်ားပါသည္။
ဤကဲ့သုိ႔ဆုိရင္ ယခု Youthful Ageing အခ်ိန္သည္ သူတုိ႔၏စိတ္၊ ဘ၀၏ခံစားမႈအေပၚမွာမူတည္
ေနေၾကာင္း ထင္ရွားပါသည္။ တစ္ဖက္ကအသက္ၾကီးၿပီး ေရာဂါေတြထူလာသလုိ၊ အသက္ၾကီး လာတာနဲ႔ ေရာဂါျဖစ္သည့္ဆုိသည့္ခံယူခ်က္ကုိ လက္ခံလုိ႔မရပါ။ ေရာဂါမွာတစ္ခ်ိဳ႕လူငယ္မ်ား အသက္ ငယ္ငယ္ႏွင့္ အရြယ္အုိမ်ားကဲ့သုိ႔ျဖစ္သြားၿပီး၊ တစ္ခ်ိဳ႔မွာ အသက္ၾကီးေပမယ့္လူငယ္ေလးကဲ့သုိ႔ျဖစ္ သြားေၾကာင္း စိတ္ပါ၀င္စားစြာေတြ႔ျမင္ရပါသည္။
အဲဒါေၾကာင့္ ကၽြန္ေတာ္တို႔အားလုံးသည္ အသက္ၾကီးလာေသာ္လည္း youthful ငယ္ရြယ္သူအျဖစ္ေနထုိင္ စားေသာက္ႏုိင္ရန္ ေစာေစာကစီမံေဆာင္ရြက္ထားသင့္ပါသည္။ Ciscero သည္ လူငယ္စိတ္ထားႏွင့္

Youth ဟာ အသက္ၾကီးတာငယ္တာအေပၚမွာ ဘာမွမပက္သက္ဘဲ စိတ္ေနစိတ္ထားအေပၚမွာ ပတ္သက္တာ ထင္ရွားပါသည္။ အဲဒီကေလးမ်ားခ်ီေသာ rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees အဲဒါေတြမဟုတ္ဘူး။ ဘာလည္းဆုိေတာ့ စိတ္အေနနဲ႔ ခံစားႏုိင္တဲ့ ဟုိဘ၀ေလးအတြင္းမွာရွိေနတဲ့ "စမ္းေရ" ျဖစ္တာကုိဆုိလုိသည္။ Youth ဆုိတာဟာ ခံစားမႈအျပည့္နဲ႔ရွိတဲ့သတိ၊ ေၾကာက္ျခင္းမဟုတ္၊ ဘယ္ကိစၥလုပ္လုပ္ ထေျမာက္ေအာင္ျမင္ခ်င္တဲ့စိတ္ ဒါေတြအားလုံးဟာ အသက္အားျဖင့္ (၆၀) ရွိတဲ့သူ အတြင္းမွာ အသက္(၂၀)ရွိတဲ့ ကေလးထက္ပုိမ်ားတာကုိ ေတြ႔ရတယ္။

Hullo Saya:
I sent this to you by email but for your larger audience, I am posting this which is a lighter vein of your topic.
As a Dr. in physical medicine and rehabilitation, we learned fast and early that " Add life to years not just years to life" (George Morris Piersol).
Enjoy this from George Lundberg. Dr. Lundberg was at the American Medical Association as Editor in Chief, Scientific Information and Multimedia with editorial responsibility for its 39 medical journals, American Medical News, and various Internet products, and the Editor of JAMA and then Editor in Chief of Medscape, the world's leading source of online health information and education for physicians and healthcare professionals.
How Long Do You Expect to Live?

Hello and Welcome. I'm Dr. George Lundberg and this is At Large atMedPage Today.
To just what age do you expect to live? You haven't thought about it? I bet you have. Would you like to live as long as Methuselah?
Television's "Today Show" antes up centenarians to celebrate from time to time. There are about 70,000 American outliers past the age of 100. But that's out of a population of some 311,000,000 people.
The most sensible place I know to read about this conundrum of aging is Nortin Hadler's new book called "Rethinking Aging: Growing Old and Living Well in an Overtreated Society."
Hadler argues that the human animal is pre-programmed to die in the 85- to 90-year age range unless killed by something else earlier.
I now consider American death before 85 to be "premature." It is sensible to expend large resources towards conquering heart disease, cancer, stroke, violence, most infections, and lung and kidney diseases to prevent Premature Death.
But then everybody dies anyway.
What administers the coup de grace at that desired "ripe old age" is pretty much irrelevant. So, don't sweat it, and above all, don't expect to prevent it.
Martin Luther King famously said: "It is the quality and not the length of a man's life that counts."
I recently changed primary care physicians for my Medicare program. After a comprehensive history and physical exam and a bunch of lab tests, she said I was doing "fairly well for my age."
I did not like that comment so I asked her: Do you think I will live to 85?
She asked: Do you smoke tobacco or drink alcohol? Oh no, I replied. And I don't do other drugs either.
She said: Do you have many friends and entertain frequently? I answered: No, I usually stay at home and keep to myself.
She asked: Do you eat rib eye steaks and barbecued pork? I said: No, my other doctor told me all meat is unhealthy.
She asked: Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking, or bicycling? No, I don't, I said.
She persisted: Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex. I said, No, I don't do any of those things.
So, she looked at me and said, then why do you give a (expletive deleted) whether you will make it to 85?
As Dr King said: It's not the length; it's the quality.
That's my opinion. I'm Dr. George Lundberg, At Large for MedPage Today.
Thank....your comment...
