      How to Live Easily Into Your 90s - Sam Almond

      SECTION 1

      Chapter 1

      INTRODUCTION, MY BACKGROUND AND HISTORY

      All of a sudden, one becomes ninety – and with it comes a bit of shock and awe.

      Is your life on its last legs when you reach ninety and then begins to gently ebb away?

      A very resounding no, I say.

      I treat it, and so should you when you get there, as a staging post to where the next aim is; to get the ton, the fairly illusive one hundred, after which, OK, you can then coast along serenely and enjoyably through the really twilight years.

      But let’s do it all with good health, fitness and happiness. If I can guide you to these later goals, I will in this book, to the best of my ability.

      Thankfully, I have not lost a vital life ingredient – ambition; it’s a life force to keep you going. As one aim is attained, in whatever form, another one appears on your horizon – if not, you may just get mouldy and quietly fade away.

      So, herein lies the route to ninety and beyond.

      One unknown in life is never knowing exactly when your life will end. As a prominent centenarian once declared, If I’d known I was going to live this long, I’d have taken better care of myself. You may be one of those rare people who live into old age in spite of a bad lifestyle. If this is the case, then the ravages of your living badly may cause pain and problems in later life. A regime of healthy living can lead you to a long life of pleasure and satisfaction.

      Growing and being old can be a serious matter – but not to worry. As you go through your seventies and eighties, there is an inevitable slowing and reduction in your energy and powers, which prepares you nicely and gradually for those final later years.

      There is an anomaly in the title of this book. It could be assumed that one can live into the nineties easily, meaning ‘come what may’. This is not so. The word ‘easily’ means if one adheres to an unconstrained regime of eating, exercising and all stated through the chapters, the path to ninety and beyond can be of little or no difficulty – or then ‘easy’.

      This book is purposely rather short. It is an amalgam of many ideas and guides found in books available on similar themes – fitness, exercise, diet and the like. I have partly read or examined many and found them well worth reading. For greater depth they are certainly beneficial, albeit often long and detailed as you would expect. With my book, the central points for healthy, good living and longevity are all followed in a succinct and easy-to-read way. Since writing Spinach for Breakfast 5 years ago, on a broadly similar subject, I followed the new life habits I learned then. Although there has been an inevitable reduction of power and stamina, in myself, I feel fitter and healthier than I did 5 years ago and even well before then.

      The ideas and controls I now put forward, will, I assure you, work for you.
