We are at our prime of our physical health between age 16 and 20 years. After that our bodies begin to decay. Our joints begin to stiffen and we lose about 8% of our muscle mass each decade, hence our strength, stamina and flexibility degrade. Our brain cells begin to die more rapidly than they are regenerated, and eventually we can suffer from conditions like [dementia](https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/dementia).
Both ancient and modern scientific thinking agree that a healthy body and mind can be achieved by following some universal truths.
Exercise, either by imbedding physical activity such as walking and climbing in our daily routine or develop a workout regime. I have discovered the latter with the help of a good trainer to be fun and very effective.
Proper diet and nutrition in moderation provides the right fuel and energy eliminating 90% of dis-ease.
Avoid intoxicants and artificial stimulants, wherever and whenever possible.
Get sufficient and fitful sleep (Physical exercise helps a lot in this regard).
Constantly challenge and recharge the mind by continuous learning and contemplation.
Nourish the soul by meditation.
Integrate the mind, body and soul by practice of yoga.
Scientists have discovered by studies and many of us by experience that exercise, yoga and meditation increases the feel good factor (caused by hormones like [endorphins](https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/320839#boosting-endorphins)) and sharpens the mind.
It is useful to remember, the body benefits from movement, and the mind benefits from stillness. Hence physical exercise, sport or various sports, coupled with hobbies or interests that challenges the mind, nourishes and strengthens it.

Sadly like most people, after leaving school at age 16, I had stopped exercising and working out, as a result over next 47 years my body has decayed and weakened much more rapidly than it should have. The good news is that because of our son Pavit's nagging and his part ownership in Hotfut sports and ILESEUM clubs I had easy access to numerous gyms and good trainers.
As a result our entire family have begun to work out regularly. I have discovered that while ageing cannot be reversed, a lot of health can be recovered and restored.
I wish you all good health.
