Turning Back the Clock:
Aging and Your Health
Volume 25, No. 3 – April 2023

turning back the clock
It’s all too commonly believed that age brings infirmity—chronic disease, memory issues, limited mobility. And, indeed, many health issues are connected with age—years of stress, sun exposure, and unhealthy habits add up. However, as the practitioners contributing to this issue remind us, age-related infirmity is not inevitable. Not only are we empowered through the choices we make to prevent many such problems, but the growing field of anti-aging, or regenerative medicine offers many options for addressing the damage that has occurred over time.
In the following articles, area health care practitioners offer understanding and advice for those hoping to turn back the clock. Among the anti-aging tools they advocate: sunblock, exercise; massage; meditation; IV therapy; connecting with others—and much more. Enjoy!
