Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 8 Week 6: How do I want to grow old?.

Hello friends, we are already in a new contest,new week, though season 8 is almost rounding up and we are all prepared for season 9 though in another community.
In life we must all get old weather we like or not but how we will all looks like in old age is the problem because there are things that we won't be able to do again when we grow old. What matters now is our life style so that we won't be a problem to our children.

In life no body wants to rely on medications but due to some circumstances around us and the life we lived when we were younger is what affects our old age, so as for me I want to be very healthy and energetic, I want to be that grandma that will not depends on my children, I want to be that grandma that will still enjoy life.

I am living the best life now that my hands can afford, one day I said to myself that I am ageing so I have to start leaving a healthy life. When my late husband passed away, my life was gradually going down until I wake up this year January and said to my self, mercy if you continue like this you might die untimely.
So what I am doing now is that I don't eat can-food, I make sure I eat alot of vegetables and no eating of noodles in my house, I shot I can't remember the last time I eat noodles and if I must eat I add a lot of vegetables to it.
Any food that has preservatives I don't patronize it.

Imagine me adding cucumber to my white rice, that's to show you that I don't play with my system, I am very careful with what goes into my system

Another thing I do is that I don't use artificial spice, all my spice I produce them myself, because some of this spice cause cancer in future, I make use of herbs more than drugs because some of this drugs cause damage to our cells organ and besides that all this drugs they use herbs to produce them.

Another good thing I do to my self is that I don't joke with supplement,. And last I don't let any thing bothers me, if I know I am board I put a call cross to my friends and we hangout from there I will divert my thinking to something good.

So eating healthy food is what I do. Life na one so I have to leave it and enjoy my greatgrand children.

My friends either we like it or not we will all get old, so I am not afraid of getting old because is a journey we will all reach. We can't say they way we were in the last 10 years that we are still like that, no we are not, so you can see we are all grow to old age. The only thing now is to set our records straight so that we be looking for medical support when we grow old.

Myself and my elder sister

My elder sister the only old adult I will love to follow, you can imagine my elder sister is in her early 60s but if she tells you she in her her 40s you will definitely believe her. Every day in my life I will call her to pray for me and I will tell her that I really wants to be like her. We are eight in our family and I am the last child and she is the first child.

The way she leaves her life is that she doesn't allow anything to affect her, she lives a care free life. Just look at her age she still looks checkable, I can remember once she came visiting and we were walking on the road and someone stop us and ask if we are twins, Omo I was so ashamed of myself, I began to check myself if I am that old that the person can't differentiate between the older ones and the younger ones.

My old age will be very interesting because I will still be young and vibrant, I will love to invite my friends to join me in this contest, @chichieze, @goodybest, @ruthjoe
