Some old people take a constitutional walk every day, inhaling a good supply of oxygen in the fresh air, even though it is almost impossible nowadays to find a quiet country road free of all traffic. Everywhere you go there are cars, leaving only narrow meadow paths and remote trails in the forests where they have not yet been able to advance. So, if older people escape from the motor exhausts and flee to nature’s solitude, the exercise, healthy air and available oxygen will be a boon to them. In addition, older people should eat natural food and in moderate quantities, with only a little fat. Their protein intake should also be limited, which avoids the formation of too much cholesterol.
Experience teaches us that the normal signs of old age can be put off by years, even decades, if the right and natural measures are taken in time. But this is only possible if we do not let the speed of our times infect us; rather, we should remember Goethe’s advice and take things slower and calmer as we get older. The transition from a fast pace of life to a quieter one may not be easy; on the contrary, many people complain as different physical problems crop up and they find it increasingly difficult to cope. They confirm Solomon’s observation that the years of old age are far from welcome. For this reason the wise man of biblical fame admonished the young: ‘Remember, now, your Grand Creator in the days of your young manhood, before the calamitous days proceed to come, or the years have arrived when you will say: “I have no delight in them”.’ All those who maintain the right attitude towards the Creator throughout life will not moan about the difficulties of old age, because their heart will remain young.
