Choosing Growth or Decay

A new study counters the belief that our metabolism declines during our adult lives. Researchers found that it remains level until about age 60, when it starts to slowly decline by less than 1 percent per year. “There are lots of things that impact weight and nutritional status,” said dietician Colleen Tewksbury. “It’s a complex web that includes food intake, activity levels, sleep patterns, and other factors.”
“Life is energy. That's all that matters to nature, and your body looks to you to choose between growth and decay. Think about what your body learned from the way you lived today, about whether you told your body to grow or decay.”
​– Chris Crowly, Younger Next Year
Affirmative prayer: Today, I honor the energetic forces at work in my body temple and I cultivate practices that lead me to vibrant health and a life of joy. I pray that the vitality of pure Life is the endowment of all living beings. Thank you, God, forever, Amen.
