Why Grow Old?
Relaxed
Existence
Charms
By Josephine Lowmon

is t.
Believe me, while we could
not live without nerves. they
can give us fits" When ! say
that am not thinking of the
chronically nervous person
who twitches about and is
what we would normally call
"a nervous person. These per-
sons have a problem but many
others suffer from nervous
tension even though they may
seem to be the calmest people
and are the last to suspect that
the suffer from hidden ten
Sions.
OF course so long as we are
alive and perceptive. we will
have some of these hidden ten
sions. Sometimes I think that
the more perceptive a person
is, not about himself but about
others and life in general. the
more impact life has on him.
This acts in two ways, one OF
them very reWarding. If you
are exceptionally perceptive
you will be more aware of the
drama, poignancy, adventure
and tragedy in daily living.
You will live more richly, and
you will have to pay a price
for it, but daily living will
never become humdrum.
So. let's think of a few
simple suggestions which will
be helpful to the chronically
nervous person and to the calm
one who has hidden tensions.
We Worry All Over
The simple rules for physical
health sound very mundane
but they do work, not only in
the physical department but
in the emotional, mental and
spiritual departments.
Worry causes nervous ex-
haustion. Well, what can we
do when we have things to
worry about? Do not forget
that worry is not just a mental
process. When we worry, we
worry with our hearts and our
circulation, our muscles (Which
become tense) and our glands.
The chemistry of our saliva
even changes when we worry.
We must do what we can
about our worries and then
forget them as much as pos
sible. 1t is possible to replace
a gloomy thought with happy
one.
Get enough rest. We have
to balance the books of energy.
We must give nature time to
replace the output with enough
sleep and short rest periods,
and vacations.
Exercise ReIoxes
Nutrition plays a big role in
health and your emotional sta
bility depends a lot on the
state of your health.
Exercise is the great anti
dote for nervous tension. It is
impossible to feel tense after
a good swim, after a game of
badminton or tennis or golf
which depends on your physi-
cal condition and your age. 1t
is also impossible to feel quite
so tense or gloomy after some
special exercises, taken to
music.
The stretch of your muscles,
the speedup in your circulation
and heartbeat and respiration,
will lift tensenesS and give you
hope. However, as I have said
thousands of times in this
column, let your doctor decide
what sort of exercise is best
for you.
