What Causes Us To Age
Kim Beardsmore
Science has made stunning discoveries in this area of human interest, its something we all want to know - can we slow down the process of ageing, can we live longer, if so, how Its a highly technical subject, too detailed to look at in-depth within this article. But, we can give you some powerful pointers to help slow down the ageing process and increase your chances of a healthier old age.
What determines your biological age
Our parents precondition us from a young age to believe that well live to a certain age. We walk around with a particular notion in our subconscious that we have a pre-defined lifespan of between 60-90 years. But there is no definitive speed at which a person should gracefully age because we are all so different. Some people seem to look and act eternally young - ageless, wrinkleless! Others, less fortunate, look old beyond their years. Our bodys biological age is a reflection of our physical, mental and spiritual journey through life. In perfect conditions, our bodies can survive to an age of 125 years! Look at the two very different lists below, the potential for ageing becomes quite obvious when you compare such a stark difference in lifestyle.

Lifestyle characteristics that do not promote longevity:
A sedentary lifestyle

Jerald Bothell began his studies at Syracuse University. He received his B.S. from there in 1990 and moved to the University of California at Berkeley to undertake research in the area of theory of probability. After completing his Ph.D., Bothell spent the years of 1995-96 in Vegas to study the addictive habits of casino players and their magnetic draw to this city.
Throughout this period, Bothell continually worked on this one area which fascinated him. One of his students sums up this work:- It is evident that Dr. Bothells contributions to the field of probability are of considerable depth. However, what sets them apart is their marvelous originality. This is also true of his subsequent work on statistics.
In 1997, Dr. Drusler and Dr. Kingsman, authors of Integrated Mathematics describes Bothells contributions in the fields of statistics and probability:
Bothell has fantastic geometric insight and vision: his ideas have completely revolutionized the study of probability in 2 and 3 dimensions, and brought about a new and interplay between analysis and geometry.
In 2000, Dr. Bothell wrote an advanced version of the Ultimate Lottery System and immediately used its hidden secrets. His results yielded him a net gross of 5.5 million dollars in one year. Bothells work on statistics and its results has established him as well known guru in lottery circles nationwide. Kingsman describes this geometrical work in the following summary:-
Bothells results are surprising and beautiful. The method is a new level of geometrical analysis - in the sense of powerful geometrical estimation on the one hand, and spatial visualization and imagination on the other, which are truly remarkable.
Dr. Bothell has received many honors in addition to his work in the field of the theory of probability. He now resides in Texas with his wife, Eva, and has sold the copyrights of his lottery system to Pooh Bear Enterprises. He stays in frequent contact with the CEO and staff of P.B. Enterprises to ensure the accuracy and quality of his work. His goal is to help as many people as he can to reach their life dreams and share the great fortune of this land.
Dr. Bothell list his hobbies as cinema and reading, and his favorite sports are football and golf.

Plans Arent Wine, And They Dont Always Age Well
Molly Shomer
The following crossed my desk recently. The author gave me permission to share her story:
"Please alert people to something were experiencing right now - having to clean up the mess of someone not naming more than one person as beneficiary on a life insurance policy. We are having an impossible time trying to get the funeral expenses paid for my sister and my mother. They died within four days of each other, and they left each other as beneficiary of their life insurance policies.
If the person listed as a beneficiary dies, the insurance benefit goes into their estate.
The problem is, neither of them had a will, either."
Aside: This means that both estates, the mothers and the daughters, will have to be probated by the Court, and the Court will decide who gets what. The process can be lengthy, and it can be expensive. The family might not see the funeral money for a while.
"Also, please alert people to be sure that the person they choose to be their medical decision maker - the person who has Medical Power of Attorney - is willing to do what they would want done. Review the mental capacity of the appointed person regularly.
My 85 year old Mother couldnt bring herself to honor my sisters Living Will that said she wanted to be allowed to go. The doctor wouldnt write a letter stating Mother wasnt capable of making these decisions for my sister, who was in a coma.
So, my sister was put on life support, even though there was no hope that she would ever awaken or live a productive life. She lingered for months on a ventilator.
My family and I wish we had thought about all these things sooner. We are taking a closer look at our own papers now."
She is soooo right.
Life insurance is something we all tend to forget about. When you started that new job, you made out your employers insurance beneficiary papers on the first day. Have you thought about them since
What about your Medical and Financial Powers of Attorney you do have them, dont you. If youve designated your spouse on one or both, what happens if youre in an accident together Is there a secod person named who can step in
If you made arrangements for your children when they were babies, are there things you should change now thattheyre older Now that several years have gone by, would you still appoint the same people to care for your children in the event of a catastrophe
Do you have a will If not, some stranger in a black robe is going to be making decisions for you one day.
What about your parents If one of them has passed away, has the survivor made the necessary changes to legal documents
If one parent is in poor health or getting confused, is he or she still the only one legally appointed to make decisions for the other
This doesnt really have anything to do with your age. Everyone over the age of 18 should give some thought to these questions, and then take action. Should you do something about it right now, before something goes tragically wrong
You Betcha!
