How To Not Be A Grouchy Old Man
Grouchiness or irritability as it may be called, is often expected of elderly people. They apparently become self-centered and object to any changes in routine or their lives. The antics of younger more active people (especially children) just rub them the wrong way.
Many people don’t want to grow old to turn into their father or mother. And some even notice they are becoming more irritable as they start to move into middle age. Even though they would like to change that attitude, it’s easier said than done.
Irritability is classified as a symptom of many diseases and psychiatric conditions, from depression to meningitis. Maybe your body clock is out of wack? Some just figure it is a natural experience of getting older.
Psychiatrists want you to believe it’s all in your mind. Then they give you drugs, which have such awful side effects that the cure becomes worse than the disease. Psychiatrists and drug companies benefit though – they make a lot of money.
Other solutions to combat grouchiness vary in workability. Most are easier said than done. Focus your mind on love. Vigorous exercise. Be positive in your thinking. Reconnect with your divine essence. Sleep more. Some of these things actually work if you can apply them, because the mind can change the body.
However, there are actual physical situations that can result in a “grouchy old man” (or woman). A dwindling supply of the neurotransmitter serotonin, which gets less as a person gets older, can be a cause. The level of serotonin in the brain controls mood.
Serotonin, which is associated with pain and mood, can be boosted in level by natural supplements such as St. John’s Wort, SAMe and 5-HIP. Lack of this chemical in the brain actually makes one feel gloomy as well as bring on other symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome. It also controls levels of pain.
Also, food allergies may begin later in life and cause irritability. Even if you do not have a particular food allergy, there are certain kinds of foods that cause grouchiness, and other foods that alleviate it. In addition to causing irritability, refined foods, foods high in saturated fats and refined vegetable oils will also increase pain. Slow-burning carbohydrates (fiber) will give your body more energy, whereas refined carbohydrates will make matters worse. How you feel is very closely related to what you eat.
See a doctor who understand natural, alternative medicine, find out if you have allergies, and get real help, not side effects. Joyfulness can extend into old age and the end of life.
