[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]45, BMI 19 or 20.

No fitness routine. I'm skating on my genetically-ordained slimness, but at some point age-related muscle loss will start becoming apparent, so I should do something about it. I walk my rambunctious dog, so maybe that saves me a bit.

I eat pretty much what I want, plus vitamins.

I take after my father, who looked incredibly youthful for decades well beyond middle-age. So all I do is moisturize, use sunscreen, and do some occasional acid peels. I should start retinol.

I've had white hair at the temples for many years now, so I dye my hair with henna and indigo, and have found exactly my natural shade, which makes me happy.

The reckoning is coming, but not for some years.

Hi, I'm your cousin from the future (similar BMI but have left my gray streaks since my 30s). I'm 54 and just got diagnosed with osteopenia. I didn't know that lower BMIs had higher risk.

Also, you are going to feel your muscle loss before you see it (aches and pains), but you might not know that is what is happening. I hate exercise, but strength training actually isn't bad. Since you are doing nothing now, you can start small and see/feel results pretty quickly.

Walking is better than sitting, but it doesn't build/save muscle or bone.

I posted above. I've become a die-hard about Lagree (like pilates but more intense). I hate running and lifting, but Lagree works for me, and each class is only 45 minutes, so it's very efficient.

Also, to prevent bone and muscle loss, add vitamin K2/D3 and make sure you get enough protein.  Loss of muscle and bone density really ages people but it sneaks up. [/quote]
