Only then, eat.
This adds a habit you already do (eating) to a habit that you want to form (trunk rotation ).
Aging Intelligently is a process and a practice.
Action Step: Trunk Rotation
Start Aging Intelligently today. The process: one step at a time. The road: move everything in your body every day.
Your spine needs to move, to keep you flexible and strong. Where your eyes look, your body follows.
Just before you eat, and
standing, hold your arms in front of you in the position of hugging a tree. Starting with your eyes, rotate everything to look behind yourself. Twist one way, then the other. Twist each way at least 5 times.
This is a rhythmic, feel-good, gentle twisting from side to side, to open up the spine which, when it isn’t so tight, allows your body to function without pain and stiffness.
