Jonny: I think your comments and the comments of the rest of the people on this blog reflect a problem we have with aging in the US. Instead of us respecting our elders for their wisdom about life we relegate them to nursing homes. In countries where the elders are respected and expected to contribute to the community, there is less depression and greater longevity of life. As a resident of Florida, I see that the elders are polerized into “over 55″ communities. How much better it would be to co-mingle all age groups so that we could learn from one another. Thanks for all you do Jonny.

Although I think I would be afraid of a pit bull (its reputation maybe?), I’m glad you were willing to adopt it. Poor little thing! What an amazing thing happened to your other dog; a lovely, heartwarming story and informative, insightful article.

Wow, what a thought-provoking article. I totally believe this is true. We also have 2 dogs, one of which is 14 years old and he is always playing with the younger dog. He doesn’t realize he is double his best friend’s age!

Great article. We have 5 dogs! My 11 1/2 year old Pit stays very young! We lost our 10 year old Rottweiler 6 months ago, so we went out and got 2 more Rottweiler puppies. We also have 1 year old Boxer, and a 7 year old mini-pin. We live out on 10 acres, and we hike every weekend on our property and on the mountains behind us. Our pit, mercedes runs the whole way keeping up with the puppies! It is great fun! We love them! They keep us young also!

Great article, Dr. Bowden (always enjoy your writing, articles, nutrition advice, psychology wisdom, and your ever-giving nature). I just naturally respect all you send out into the world, for I trust your intentions, which are motivated by your caring about and for others, rather than for greed or ego. It is clear in all that you say.
TO GARY (above): perhaps men marry younger women for that reason (to feel youthful again), though perhaps the true reason lies somewhere in the realm of their egos. Women, too, have begun to select younger men for the varied reasons that men seek younger “chicks.” To each his (or her) own.

Jonny,
I have a few of your books. I have also watched some of your DVDs and web videos. I think you do a lot of great work, and you have a lot of good ideas to motivate people. But I want to take a moment to say that this article undeniably contains one of the most critical concepts that you will ever present during your entire career. Belief. You are what you think. You can take all the fish oil, and antioxidants you want, but if you don’t believe you are energetic and vibrant, the odds on it working are slim. One of the most powerful healing tools humans have is right between our ears. It just doesn’t come with a manual. This article shows how real that change can be when you activate your mind in the right ways. Thanks Jonny, this is one of your best.

HI Denis

you may have read that wrong. I said it’s been lowered fifty times, not that it was lowered by fifty seconds.

I’ve always had a passion for excellence. I have always wanted to excell in everything I do. This article just confirms that I chose well in suscribing to this site. It comes to reiterate that I always take pleasure in surround myself only with everything that lifts me up. My favorite expression is: I refuse! I do not accept! When it comes to something like a situation that can be changed, being a desease, or any setback which I can overcome. I really enjoyed the article and the whole attitude of Jonny Bowden. I will recommend it to my friends and acquiantances. It gives me a great back up to write my blogs and tweeter about it. THANKS!!!!! By the way, I LOVE….. dogs. I just lost my female Boxer Kala. I am being unable to replace her; she was with us for eleven years and we still cry for her.

Hi, Dr. Jonny…

This comment is not about the content of this post but rather about your decision to adopt Emily from a rescue facility. As one who works tirelessly in animal rescue, I applaud that you chose to give a rescue animal a chance and a home. That’s a gift that I’m sure Emily will repay to you over and over. Eating well and nutritiously sustains my body, but my work with the animals is what feeds my heart and soul!

Very refreshing article – I have suspected for some time that most people blindly accept other’s self imposed limits of aging. Hopefully, more and more individuals will challenge those views and prove new limits are possible if only precieved that they are possible.

Simply a wonderful piece Johnny! I have several friends who are struggling with various issues and who have a victim type attitude and seem to have lost the belief that they can steer and control their lives to be something far better. Your piece is going to be shared with them over dinner tonight. And speaking of canines – I have a new puppy that has truly changed my life! The joy is beyond what I could have imagined. Every day is ground hog day for her! Her name is Zoe, meaning “life” and she has truly restored some for me. A big hug for all you do. Sharon (one of your best fans)
