MVP Granny: The Oldest Basketball Player ‘s Positive Lifestyle is a Much-Needed Lesson on Longevity
Every morning, Mary Weiner plays basketball for 30 minutes. Then she meets up with her basketball team twice a week. Mary is much more active than folks half her age!
But sports have not always been part of Mary’s life…
Never Too Late to Start
Mary only started playing at 71.
“My husband’s unexpected death was a wake-up call for me.”
“We had grown sedentary together.”
“Before we knew it, Alzheimer’s took him away from me.” - Mary
After her husband’s death, Mary refused to let old age rob her years too. This began her journey of fighting age with physical activity.
“I’ve always wanted to play basketball since I was a girl.”
“I just never had the chance or courage.”
“A lot of my childhood friends thought I was crazy to play basketball at this age.”
“They all said I’ll break an arm, I’ll break a leg.”
“But I just kept going.” - Mary
When the Going Gets Tough
Until one day, Mary felt a sharp pain in her knees during practice. After that, the pain in her knees didn’t go away. It got so bad that Mary needed a walker.
Her doctor told her to stop playing basketball straightaway, or become wheelchair bound for the rest of her life.
Devastated, Mary was forced to tuck away her basketball shoes. Unable to stay active, her health deteriorated, and Mary sank into an inconsolable state of depression.
But recalling her husband’s final lucid moment…
“You have cared for me for 50 years.”
“Promise me that you’ll live fully without me and join me only when the time is right.” - Mary’s husband
Quitting Was Never an Option
Mary had a sudden change of heart! She vowed to keep playing basketball until her dying breath.
Determined, Mary went for all kinds of treatments: physical therapy, chiropractic treatment, and even acupuncture.
She even went so far as calling up every doctor in her town. But none knew how to help her any further.
Mary was about to give up hope when her prayers were answered.
The Holy Grail
An orthopedist from a neighbouring town had heard about Mary’s predicament. He was so inspired by her iron will that he gave her a call.
“A lot of doctors treat knee pain all wrong. Every year, they send 600,000 people for expensive knee replacement surgeries claiming that their patient’s knee joints are damaged beyond repair. This is simply not true!
After 40 years of treating over 60,000 patients, many of whom can’t afford surgery and just ignore and suffer from their pain, I noticed that all my patients would respond well to heat therapy.
Constant heat dramatically speeds up the knee’s healing ability. Think of your knee joints as an elastic band. Due to overuse, the elastic band becomes stiff and overstretched. Without the right treatment, over time, this elastic band will break.
Heat therapy increases blood flow and breaks up scar tissues. It gathers all the oxygen and nutrients needed for cell-tissue regeneration and restores flexibility to your knee joints.
Since it’s not practical to ask my patients to come in every day for heat therapy. I came up with a special knee patch. It is the only self-heating knee patch that can penetrate deep into tissues.” - Dr. Miller
He Calls it Zendia™
Zendia™ is made with the all-natural medicinal wormwood herb. It uses optimum heat stimulation to soothe pain and promote healing bringing instant pain relief and allowing wearers to regain control of their knees.
“Made with rounded corners and ultra-soft fabric, it is easy to apply and bends with one’s movements. Best of all, it works for a wide spectrum of knee issues, such as cold knees, joint stiffness and aches, and muscle pain.” - Dr. Miller
Mary gave Zendia™ a try straightaway!
“I felt the difference immediately! There was a new spring to my knees.”
“By week 2, I didn’t need my walker anymore!”
“In 1 month, I was able to re-join my teammates on the court!” - Mary
Her Unstoppable Recovery
Mary’s teammates were surprised at her amazing recovery. One of them told us:
“Mary came back a new force.”
“She really inspired all of us that age is just a number!” - Patricia Young
Mary celebrated her 91st birthday this year and is still counting her basketball days!
“You don’t stop being active because you age, you age because you stop being active!”
“I’m grateful I found Zendia™ to support my activity.” - Mary
Mary is now eager to show the rest of the world the ultimate cure for knee pain. She hopes to bring about a positive change to the lives of many.
New research shows that staying active can extend life expectancy by up to 20 years. As people age, 1 in 3 of them start adopting a sedentary lifestyle due to knee problems.
Don’t let your knee troubles keep you from along and fulfilling life!
