I came across an article in The New York Times about Wang Deshun, age 80, who made an appearance on the runway of China Fashion Week in Beijing in 2015. An actor and artist, he is not afraid to try new things. And he has the physique of someone half his age!
According to Mr Wang himself: “One way to tell if you’re old or not is to ask yourself, ‘Do you dare try something you’ve never done before?'” He goes on to say, “Nature determines age, but you determine your state of mind.” Hear, hear!
Now that’s what I find truly inspirational. An 80-year-old on a catwalk is brilliant in itself, but it’s his attitude that I admire.
I love learning and writing about health, nutrition, fitness and longevity.
With this blog I get to do both.
I don't claim to be an expert; each time I research for my next blog post, I learn as much as I hope any reader will do.
The more I learn, the more I realise the importance of looking after my mind, body and soul with nutritious food and exercise.
It's a work in progress -- some days I fail epically. But, the way I see it, as long as you're alive, you always get to press 'reset' and try again.
