YOUNGER WITH YOGA


... or with any exercise!

THIS STUDY
from Germany was just released showing the anti-aging benefits of life-long exercise.

The study looked at athletes over their lifetimes, examining their cellular function on a genetic level. Ultimately, the DNA in cells of people who exercised regularly during their lifetime functioned as if they were younger, helping to negate normal DNA degradation caused by age.

Exercise: great for your waist, mood, brain, skin, and EVERYTHING ELSE!

Yet another reason to lace up those running shoes or roll out those yoga mats in 2010!

QUOTES OF THE WEEK


Your inspiration for the first week of 2010:

There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth... not going all the way and not starting. -Buddha

Be yourself. Everyone else is taken. -Oscar Wilde

Live out of your imagination, not your history. -Stephen Covey

Every moment is an experience. -Jake Roberts

If you want one year of prosperity, grow grain. If you want ten years of prosperity, grow trees. If you want 100 years of prosperity, educate people. -Chinese Proverb

As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives. -Henry David Thoreau

It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them, more strength to relate to people than to dominate them, more "manhood" to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex. Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles and an immature mind. -Alex Karras
