ActiveBoomers

ActiveBoomers or Baby Boomers are usually considered as those born in the post world war two period (1946-1964). The dates are somewhat elastic, so having been born in 1941 I consider myself an early baby boomer. We have been described as the healthiest and wealthiest generation of all time.

If you live in Canada and watch the Lang and O’Leary Exchange on CBC Newsworld, you will have the seen the comment by Kevin O’Leary to “try a little life without cash Amanda", to which she replies “try cash without life dude".

If money is an issue for you, whether you simply want some, or you want a lot more – check out this page on residual income (opens new window).

But the main point of this page is to look at preserving the health and well-being that gives you the life to which Ms. Lang is referring.

Boomers are aging and this is one boomer who is determined to carry health and well-being for as long as humanly possible. I’m also determined to give other boomers the information that can help them do this for themselves. Becoming ActiveBoomers is critical.

Here I am as a 53 year old grandfather. Overweight, fatigued, suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder. While I ate well, rode a bike, walked, hiked and sailed it was clear that something was missing. A friend introduced me to very high quality vitamin and mineral supplements. Those combined with a more structured regime centered on weight bearing and aerobic exercise created a new world for me. Here I am at 57.

You can see a description of the exercises I use by clicking here (opens in new window). Everyone has heard of yo-yo dieting – the type of dieting where you weight goes up and down, up and down, up and down... When you diet and lose weight, you lose muscle and fat. When you go off the diet you regain the fat but the muscle is gone and without the proper exercise it will never come back. Muscle burns energy (fat). Now your body with less muscle is launched into the yo-yo process. It’s simple but potentially deadly and definitely life shortening. Here I am at 70. It works.
