It’s a time of awakening to the changes we need to make. As we self quarantine in our homes, some of the improvements we need to make for lifelong health are most likely becoming very clear to us. Age doesn’t matter. And even better, we have the time to cook good foods, exercise, sleep, drink more water, and all those things that are good for us. Now is the time to make that effort because staying in good health and having a strong immune system starts with having good health in the first place. So as we attempt to avoid getting the Corona virus or any flu virus, it’s a good time to ensure our lifelong health.
Are People Over 60 Really More Vulnerable Physically?
I was a bit skeptical when I read that people over the age of 60 were some of the most vulnerable. I thought that was a generalization that everyone over 60 was at a frail point in life. But that’s not what I see. My community of friends virtually and in real life are quite healthy women who look much younger. I felt that they should probably not be lumped into a category of people who are frail and vulnerable. But I’m not an expert, so…what do you think?

Welcome to Your True Self Blog where age doesn’t matter…except when it comes to the Coronavirus. Since this pandemic hit the world and eventually the place where I live, fear and anxiety have become a real tangible issue: first when people panicked and cleared the shelves of everything we needed at the stores, and then when each one of us in my family began to realize the possibilities of what it will do to us. So what are the best ways to calm our fear and anxiety?
I was going to research all the best ways and post them all here. But then, I decided to just share my story and the ways that my family is coping with the fear. As I did, I came up with 17 of the best ways to calm our fear and anxiety. There are many more. I welcome you to leave your ideas in a reply below this post! Continue Reading

When COVID-19 hit our part of the United States, the first thing I did was make sure I added vitamin C, echinacea, goldenseal and zinc to my daily vitamins. My husband followed suit and then asked me to come up with a list for our friends and neighbors of what supplements can help with immunity and stress. Going beyond that, I would also like to extend this information to you, my dear readers, in case you might be interested in this subject as well. I researched what over-the-counter supplements may help with immunity and stress.
The supplements I take help me and may be able to help you, too. When you are in good health and want to stay that way, it’s easy to feel that age doesn’t matter. Here’s to your enjoyment of life and a long future!

I think yoga pants get a bad rap. But perhaps I view them from a unique angle. I wear leggings but I do not have any yoga leggings. All my yoga pants are boot-cut. I find them comfortable because they have the stretch of leggings; and I find them convenient because they go easily from yoga practice to the street. So let’s take a closer look at how to wear yoga pants out and about.
I’ll wear yoga pants not only when doing yoga but also when lounging at home, when doing errands around town and when at business casual events. It depends on the type of yoga pants. Black ones in a nice material can even by styled for casual evenings.
The main thing to keep in mind when wearing yoga pants is that your top should come down low enough all the way around so that it covers your rear. That’s the difference between classy and trashy. And when you’re classy, age doesn’t matter.
