staying healthy and energetic past 50

Someone in a running WhatsApp group asked me to share tips on staying healthy and energetic past 50.

I dropped a few lines, nor in any particular order of importance but all of these have worked for me.

#1 Kunywa soup iko na herbs. cinnamon, ginger, rosemary na tumeric.

#2 Remain hydrated

#3 Avoid stress (my uncle said kalia mto, dont fight the current),

#4 Stick to the rhythms of life

#5 Enjoy yourself along the way - laugh at your mistakes

#6 Know which dreams to keep chasing and those to stop chasing - just because you dreamt, doesn't mean you must achieve in the form and manner it was in the dream.

#7 Slow down and soak in life. There is a lot of magic in the mundane

I could go on, but I reserve the rest for the next long run.

These tips are caught more than just typed and appended tp emojis on a social media page.
