Tai Chi Chuan
There's lots of ways to help slow the effects of age on the mind and the body. If you can find a good Tai Chi Chuan teacher, then you've found one of the means that incorporates many of those ways. Though I've not noticed that it has not helped alleviate debilitating migraines, it has helped me physically and mentally.
I've learned a short form that is basically for arthritis sufferers, and it really does help. It also helps mentally because you're learning something entirely new. Now we're working on the 24 posture short form (Yang style), and just starting the 108 posture long form. There are so many intricate parts to all of it, and it really works the mind and body.
So, I recommend it for all ages. Some have described it as Yoga with martial applications. Great!
The FogWalker heads to oblivion....will ponder and practice more Tai Chi tomorrow...

I should get my butt in gear and see if my local YMCA teaches any of this stuff. I had a tiny sampling of it in college and it was great.
I bought some Ginko a couple of years ago to help me remember things, unfortunatly I set it down putting other stuff away and could not remember where I put it. Found it the next year cleaning the garage, sad but true.
