[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Age is just a number. I'm 40, look young, feel young, act young, I don't hurt, I have energy. But I know people the same age who are none of those things and it's like we're at least a decade apart. It shows how self-care, attitude, discipline, privilege play a big role in aging.[/quote]

Yes, it’s definitely your discipline. Nope. There is a cliff at 45. You don’t see it. You simply fall off of it. You can think you’re the same but it’s not true, not true at all. I’m 49 and the difference between 40-49 is crazy and sad, especially when compared to the difference between 30-39.[/quote]

Explain? What happened at 45? Did you suddenly get fat or what?[/quote]

Your body gets older. It's that simple. You're not as spry. Aches appear and last longer. You get more tired more easily. Illnesses start to crop up. It's called mortality.[/quote]

It depends. I am 47, will be 48 in a few month. I am still running the same distances I used to run in my 30s. I don't have any body aches and still full of energy (I do a lot of yoga and get weekly massages to prevent body aches). I don't get any illnesses, still never had flu or Covid. I think old is after 65. 45 is not young, but still full of energy and full of life. [/quote]

Having an easy job or being a SAHM to teenagers helps keep you youthful (which has to be the case if you have time for weekly massages and long runs)[/quote]

False assumption. I've never being SAHM, work on average 60 h/week, and still find time to run/gym/yoga/massage. I wake up at 5:30am for my workouts my entire life.[/quote]

PP here. Hats off to you. Love to hear your schedule to get kids off to school, commute to work, work a 10 hr day, and dinner with family!  I haven’t been able to make it work without sacrificing sleep, which thwarts the benefit of exercise!![/quote]

My kids are adults, 18 and 22, I don't cook for the in the last 5 years. My office is 0.8 miles from my house, I walk occasionally to and from work.[/quote]
