Baby boomers are those individuals who were born during the decade or so after World War 2. Different people may characterize the definition of baby boomers a little differently, but the fact remains that this broad group of people is now approaching retirement age or has already recently crossed it. So let us get straight to the point and try to answer the most fundamental thought that is prevalent in the minds of each and every one of them: How to stay young or how to stay youthful in 2013 and beyond as they plan their retirement years?
Aging and death may be undeniable, unstoppable forces, but baby boomers can take comfort in knowing that cosmetics and superficial makeup plans are not the way to stay youthful in any sense. What must be achieved is an understanding of what true youthfulness really means and actual steps that may lead to that goal. One can know for sure that any human being broadly lives on 3 planes: physical, mental and spiritual. The three seem to be interconnected in ways that modern science has yet to completely figure out. However, basic steps should be taken to improve and condition the health of all three states of being.
Physical:

Baby boomers that live in active lifestyle communities have plenty of choices and programs to take advantage of, in order to improve their physical being. Senior tennis programs, Tai Chi, walking groups, yoga and aerobics routines, swimming, and even Zumba dance classes are offered in almost every corner of the country, and many times for absolutely free. Diet classes or healthy-eating television programs or even free online e-books on the subject are only as far away as a click of a PC button. Every boomer should get out and determinedly seek out outdoor activities that match his/her interests and start eating healthier simply to maintain good health. Especially when we live in a nation that is abundant in offering its citizens wonderful resources to stay young and get healthier, all that is needed from folks is a firm resolve to live healthier.

Mental:
Mental health is equally important for baby boomers, and can be easily achieved by doing the simplest of things in life: Going out in fresh air and doing deep breathing exercises. Deep and controlled breathing exercises not only improve one’s body, but since it pumps the body with fresh oxygen, oxygenated blood is the human brain’s all-time best friend. A brain replenished daily with life-giving fresh oxygen stays calm, worry-free and enjoys the peace of mind that is a natural side effect. Since we all have to breathe anyway, why not learn how to breathe in a more effective and controlled way for mental happiness. Those who want to go a step further can combine their breathing exercises with brief meditations or concentration exercises that are taught by numerous self-help experts of all faiths. These exercises can be universally applied and they all achieve the same goal: mental well-being and calmness.
Spiritual:

Even though one may or may not be religious, one may or may not believe in a God, nobody can deny the fact that we are endowed with consciousness, the life-force that recognizes itself and everything else. That is our true self, and if that is agreed upon, we have to take steps to improve our spiritual health as well. Spiritual health mainly relies on having faith in the self, and not necessarily in God. Even many atheists who have applied spiritual techniques and qualities in their lives have achieved great health and well-being. Qualities such as forgiveness, charity, love, selfless acts and so on can be applied in the smallest detail in life, and if you are a baby boomer, you have to especially understand that before the precious life’s years run out, one has to take advantage of every single moment, every opportunity to develop spiritual health for the self, and in turn for the community and humanity that we are such an integral part of.
Stay Young, Youthful and You May Live Forever in Spirit!
