Age well - to help you stay healthy, active and young at heart
This site aims to give information on how to age well, which means both aging healthily and also looking younger than your chronological age. Nobody relishes the thought of growing old, but aging doesn't necessarily mean losing your looks or having to give up your favourite activities. Everyone has three different ages: his or her chronological age, the body’s age and the age of the mind. Here we will briefly explain the aging process, give tips for preventing the main illnesses prevalent in an ageing population, and the best advice for keeping your looks, staying active and young at heart.
If you follow our advice, you will be able to take responsibility for your own health, and help your body and mind age well, by learning as much as possible about health care, nutrition and fitness. We will also endeavour to keep you up-to-date on new medical advances that will increase quality of life and prevent premature aging. This site will also give information on face care, exercise and supplements that can help you look younger longer. Eventually we hope to include information on cosmetic surgery and invite readers to recommend surgeons who produce results.
Medical advances in the last century have meant that average life spans are greater today than at any other time in man’s history. What is more, as the baby boomers reach 60+, the numbers of elderly people who want to Age well and are interested in staying fit and looking good are growing. This age group will also be able to form pressure groups to convince governments to fund research into illnesses such as diabetes, high blood pressure, Alzheimer’s, arthritis and heart related diseases that are more common in an ageing population. They can also convince governments not to cut spending on medical care, such as hip and knee replacements, that can improve the quality of life for so many people. Perhaps most important of all, as changes in legislation push the retirement age higher, baby boomers can lobby for an end to age discrimination in the workplace, so that they do not have to suffer the indignity of being “unemployable” while not yet able to draw the pensions they have worked so hard for This site is, of course, open to people of all ages, as we do not want to perpetuate this crime and discriminate against any other age group, or others that differ in any way from the age targeted by this site. After all, many of the next generations will also have the privilege of aging. It is good that they learn too about how to slow down the aging process. The earlier people develop good nutritional habits and active lifestyles, the better they will age. We hope the site will also provide information for someone who is caring for or concerned about an aging loved-one.
Last, but not least, this site will eventually give advice on how to enjoy an active sex life in later life, as well as giving information on how best to treat conditions which make this difficult.
