By changing your perception of aging and by being aware of your body and how it processes intelligence and experience you will change how you age. Today Chopra lectures around the world making presentations to major corporations and organizations such as the World Health Organization in Geneva, the United Nations, and London's Royal Society of Medicine, as well as a number of major U.S. medical institutions. By changing one's perception of aging, we can change our age. People don't die of old age, they die of diseases that accompany old age, and they are preventable. Most people think that aging is irreversible and we know that there are mechanisms even in the human machinery that allow for the reversal of aging, through correction of diet, through anti-oxidants, through removal of toxins from the body, through exercise, through yoga and breathing techniques, and through meditation.
Most people believe that aging is normal but nobody defines what normal aging is.
What we call normal may be the psychopathology of the average. The way you think, the way you behave, the way you eat, can influence your life by 30 to 50 years. Most people believe that aging is universal but there are biological organisms that never age. Most people believe that aging is painful and we know that pain is from diseases that are preventable, not from aging. People have to change their concepts of aging and I am not asking them to do so based on some fanciful notion but on scientific fact.
