Your body is magical

This story is proof positive you can pivot toward a healthy lifestyle at mid-life, no matter how many overflowing ashtrays you've left in your wake.    

Kantilal Talati, a native of western India currently living in Texas. He's never sick, doesn't take any medication and attributes it all to yoga. He's successfully doubled his life since a heart attack at the prime age of 44, when he smoked four packs a day. After that scare, Talati tossed the smokes and dove into relaxation, meditation and yoga, even studying with a famous guru in India.    

Here's a typical day from Talati's 30-year regimen:    

  • Before dawn he drinks a cup of hot water with lemon juice and honey to cleanse the body.  
  • He then devotes every inch of his 5-foot, 125-pound frame for pranayam (breathing exercises), then an hour of yoga. After breakfast he teaches yoga to family.  
  • A solo afternoon yoga session wraps in more challenging poses for whole-body health.  He then walks two miles before retiring for the night, where he dreams of opening a yoga studio.    

Your body is magical, if you treat it right.

Interesting to see a man do yogo in his 90s. Extraordinary.

Maybe your body.  Mine cannot do that.  I think it would break something if I tried that.
