With the passage of the ‘warrior’ years, and the ‘diplomat years’, the boomer generation is now passing into a fruitful time of wisdom, self-growth, and patient progress with iGen and Millennials following close behind. Understanding that time passes, regardless of our harried action or inaction, we are able to advance with accumulated knowledge at a new tempo with advanced age.

As our life begins to allow the luxury of introspection, our attention begins to focus on recuperation and rejuvenation of our body and mind. Free of the urges for immediate gratification and pressing needs of family and career, we are finally able to take a deep breath and begin nurturing ourselves. It is within this new chapter of our life that new options for sustainable health are sought out and utilized.

During the early years of life, our bodies are resilient and free of disease. As our bodies begin to show the wear and tear of life’s challenges, our illusions of immortality begin to fade. Our generation is not satisfied with the prognosis of a slow decline in health over 30 or 40 years until our eventual death; we would like to live fully until the day we die.

We do not want the modern marvels of medicine to replace our knees; we want to prevent the deterioration of our joints and to stay flexible. We are not impressed that insulin shots slow the eventual complications from diabetes; we want to maintain healthy blood sugar levels and nourish our pancreas, thus avoiding diabetes. We don’t want to end up in the emergency room for life saving heart surgery; we want to keep our heart strong and maintain a healthy circulatory system.
