As you age, your body becomes less resilient to any type of stress.  \nthings that get harder when you get older include, but are not limited to:\n1. starting an exercise program, \n2. recovering from surgery\n3. recovering from a hangover.  \n\nThink about your body like a car.  An old car might need a constant supply of oil, just like you might need a constant supply of vitamins now.  Alcohol can deprive your body of nutrients.  Since your body needs those nutrients more than it did say 18 years ago, then your body will react badly to the alcohol.

Go to bed at a decent hour every night.  You need to do this on your weekends as well.  If you can wake up easily when your alarm goes off then you've found the right amount of hours that you need.  \n\nNext add vitamins to your diet. Eat three regular meals as well as healthy snacks between meals.  Plus add a bit of  exercise.    This will keep you energized.  Your body will feel much better.

i'm 51 and still "laid back". It is an art. You have to make a list of what needs to be done and check it off as you go. It really does help. And don't smoke anything when you have to get the important stuff done.

Make sure you eat something befoe you go because that will give you energy. Also if you start to get drowsy, stretch. You could also excuse yourself to the bathroom, walking will help and you can also splash water on your face.

Lasting 5 minutes when you are in your 40's doesn't seem to be a problem, but more of the natural way life goes.  I am 42 years old and I know what you mean here!

As we get older, our interests change, our needs change.  Let's face it,...it's easy to find ourselves in a bit of a rut from time to time, too.  Whatever you MIGHT be going through inside RIGHT NOW is, perhaps, causing you to merely "shift" attention to yourself, moving you into the direction that brings you,...to YOU.  Your friends are STILL your friends.  If keeping a daily journal, taking note of your feelings at any given moment through the course of the day, or even when you get home from work would help,...through writing, you may eventually "pull out" what nags you, and why.  Or, you "began to feel uncomfortable today" when,...well, you get the picture.  Sometimes, being by ourselves can afford us THE OPPORTUNITY to reflect, meditate, "discover" OURSELVES and who we are.  I suppose too, it could be our own way of becoming "refreshed", readying ourselves to be part of the world again.  Avoid "total" isolation, though, okay?  Perhaps when you visit with your friends, try setting your "mental timer" for 30 minutes.  When you "hear" it "ding", excuse yourself and go on about your way for the day, or the evening.  By making your visits possibly shorter, it may very well lessen the chance for that strange sort of dread and anxiety to make it's "appearance".  As time goes on, you can increase the minutes on your "timer".  Give yourself the time YOU need.  Go a little easier on yourself.  Get enough sleep and eat healthy.  Try a brisk walk around your neighborhood on a sunny day or at a park you haven't gotten around to going to yet.  Talk to someone you are close to or seek counseling if you really find what you're feeling persists.  You WILL be fine.  Take care.

Don't set limits by your age. Do what you want to do when you are ready to do it and not a moment earlier.

Live a happy life! Laugh a lot. Don't worry about silly things in life. If you worry too much, you get all wrinkled in the face. Don't tan too much. Sun and UV lights can damage your skin. Don't smoke, and if you do, just cut back a little. I'm sure you have seen smokers that look at least 10 years older than what they really are (that's assuming they've been smoking for awhile). Drinking doesn't really makes you old. But drinking and staying up all night partying can make some pretty ugly bags under your eyes. \n8 hours of sleep at nights will help your skin a lot. Hence the saying "you need your beauty sleep". \nExercise! \nIf you're not the type who likes to exercise much, then simply go for a walk every night or every other night. \nHave a healthy sex life with your partner. \n\n;-D

"GET OUT OF BED: \n\nOne of the most important things you can do is get up at about the same time every morning (even week-ends). Preferably, that means about 7 a.m. or earlier. You might not feel like it but Get Up. Such regularity helps your body function more normally so you're more likely to feel normal. \n\nLIGHTS: \n\nLight helps your body function better. So turn on a lot of lights as soon as you arise. Open curtains to get more sunlight. Better yet, go outdoors into the sunshine as soon as you can. Remove any eyewear so light will enter more readily (glass cuts out some of the sun's rays). But don't stare at the sun, of course. \n\nMOVE: \n\nBe active right away -- oxygenate! That means getting up and walking around your dwelling for five or 10 minutes, or perhaps riding an exercycle. Mild exercise gets the blood flowing and transports more oxygen throughout your body (especially to your brain), helping you feel mentally alert and alive. \n\nMUSIC: \n\nSelect and play some energetic, happy music as you dress and have your breakfast. The audiovisual department of most libraries has albums and tapes you can check out. \n  \n\nBREAKFAST: \n\nBegin your breakfast with protein (i.e., meat, eggs, peanut butter, nuts, cheese). When you get up, your body chemistry is ready to convert food, especially protein,into longlasting energy. To balance your most important meal of the day, add an orange or other fresh fruit and whole grain cereal or whole grain bread. \n\nTALK WITH SOMEONE: \n\nOne of the quickest ways to beat the blues is to interact with others. You might not feel like doing that - you'd rather avoid people when blue. So make lt easier on yourself. Talk with someone you enjoy about a subject you enjoy so there is definite give and take. \n\nAnd, force yourself to say "hello" to the persons next to you in class, those where you live, anyone around. \n\nLIMIT CAFFEINE: \n\nThe long-term (four hours or so) effects of caffeine are depression. Try to limit coffee to no more than one cup in the morning. Coffee can make you more alert for an hour or so, but later you get an opposite reaction. Caffeine tends to increase the release of insulin in the blood, and insulin lowers the blood sugar level. When you have low blood sugar levels, you begin to feel less sure of yourself, and have low energy levels, which can lead to the blues or depression. \n\nLIMIT SUGAR: \n\nSugar might give you an initial rush of energy, but within an hour or so the blood sugar level can become low, and when it's low you may feel low, too. \n\nThe caffeine/sugar cycle. It's easy to get caught in the caffeine and sugar cycle -- having coffee, caffeinated soft drinks, or something with sugar every two hours or so to "stay up." For example, cola contains about 10 teaspoons of sugar plus caffeine equal to about half a cup of coffee. In addition to bringing on the blues, this cycle can result in dependence, poor nutrition. and obesity -- reasons to get down on yourself even more and feel blue. \n\nMAINTAIN FIBER: \n\nFiber helps food go through your digestive system at a proper rate, giving a more constant energy supply. Highly processed foods merely provide a quick surge of energy which can be followed by depression. You can maintain fiber in your diet by eating an orange or grapefruit rather than just drinking the juice. Eat fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, and whole grain breads and cereals. \n\nSTRESS B COMPLEX: \n\nSome persons report receiving help by taking a concentrated vitamin B complex. You'll find these called something like "Stress B" or "B 50." This is controversial. \nSome nutritionists say, "Yes, this really should be considered," and others say, "No, this is not a good Idea." You can try some and decide whether or not it helps you. If it does help, then perhaps you should consult a nutritionist to see if there are other ways you can augment your die

You're always in your prime if you keep mentally fit. Our bodies will deteriorate as time goes on, but as they say "you're only as old as you feel", does work. Let yourself enjoy the things you used to do, smile and laugh a lot, dance to music (even on your own), have a drink, go out for a meal.\n\nSmile at someone in the street you don't know - you'll be surprised at the response!

Stay active. Do something that requires your full attention such as cleaning, exersizing, dancing, talking. Keep the lights on and the music on a upbeat sing-a-longable (I know thats not a real word!) channel! Drinking caffiene will also keep you awake but it isnt good for your body.
