78, but I stopped counting when I passed 53, which was the age that carried off my dad.

My brain likes to think it's 21 but the body is saying otherwise... Went to the shops with my wife today and did no lifting, but a lot of walking. My belly is now screaming at me. I over did it a little... lol

I know this guy, former "Mr. Ottawa". He's in his mid-80s right now, and is still into body-building.

Have been regularly practicing some of the Yoga postures told in this book - Yogasanas – Advaita Ashrama, and belly has fat reduced to near zero, type 2 diabetes is under good control (with minimal medication). Overall good. Am 58 years of age.

Note: Not sure whether that Yoga book is available outside India, but you'll find equivalents. (Converted to USD, the cost of this book is less than 2 $ in India)

Thanks for the info. My wife has made a diet plan for me with the aim to reduce and try to eliminate the diabetes. I will look up the book.

I have the added issue of no gallbladder, so it will be interesting.

I immediately checked out the book, then found that, while it is $2 and ships to the US, they want $37 shipping! Wish I could find it locally, though... I'd really like to try it.

Will Rogers never met me.

Maybe i can buy it locally and send to you by India Post. It will certainly be much less, but may take about 15 to 20 days to reach. If okay for you I can send.

Amarnath, that would be great. But how will I reimburse you for it? Send me an email and let's figure that out!

congratulations ! i got seriously into hatha yoga about 1966, pranayama a while later ...

i use neti kriya now prior to pranayama before "empty mind, no goal" (Vipassana) meditation.

practice ? off and on for 34 years ... imho practice helped give me wonderful health for almost sixty years Smile | :)

i was never a follower of any guru, or particular school ...

was certainly no saint ! Smile | :)

oh no ! i'm not cut out for "yogi" at all: the techniques have always been a form of psycho-physical/neurological exercise for me. the theistic (raja) and theistic (jnana) aspects never interested me.

cheers, just plain old man, bill
