@amiablePeace77

I need to stretch more regularly and workout a little more vigorously. consistency's tough! thanks for this post!

Energy wise is a big no. Strength and mobility, I'm not about to win any competitions but considering my health issues they aren't too bad.

@amiablePeace77 I saw the title and came to say...yes, yes I am😁 but then I read and now I'm gonna have to say... No, no I'm not

😂😂😂😂😂

@amiablePeace77   Are you aging well?

The first thought that popped into my mind is I am aging too well. I would like to slow down and age less but that is not the way life goes.

I am generally content with how things are. 

"Are you aging well..."

Definitely not.

I take care of myself after a fashion...still, I'm probably not doing quite enough. Sleep is hopelessly unsolvable.

The other thing is, for some people "aging well" means aging gracefully. I have never done that & never will. Since my last birthday, in fact, I've been seriously considering a last escapade of skirt-chasing, fast cycling & other mildly risky behavior to go along with the current partial land-clearing phase of my project. Once I hit 50, that's it! The end of middle age!...

You know the deal, Sun. Time never stops, is as implacable as a glacier & far colder. At some point I will be too old, tired & wrinkled to have any fun. Been thinking I'd better get it now--while I still can.

If the above thoughts sound ridiculous to you, that's okay. Anyone can think what they want about my decisions. If it is male "midlife crisis" silliness, so be it.

@amiablePeace77

Are you aging well? 

In certain aspects yes. But in some other aspects no. 

And what are you doing current to ensure your body gets what it needs at your age?

I can definitely use more sleep. But to answer the second question above,

- I’m exercising with the goal of adding more exercises so it’s not just walking which itself is healthy. 

- I’m eating healthier. 

- Staying hydrated with purified water that once a day includes electrolytes which doesn’t have any sugar. 

- Fruit shakes in the morning, afternoon and evening everyday. 

- Less screen time so my eyes stay healthy 

- Journaling so thoughts don’t stay in my head and it also helps me to avoid overthinking

I love how everyone has a pretty good attitude about aging on this post.

I am almost 40. I don't think about my age too much, so I guess that means I'm aging well. I have kids, which keeps me busy and distracted almost all the time.

Great points about aging well! I believe maintaining flexibility and staying active are key to healthy aging. Personally, I’ve been exploring different options to help with both physical and mental health. I came across BetterMe, which offers a variety of exercises, including yoga and Pilates, and it’s great for those who want a more tailored approach to their routine. This article explains what’s available, both free and paid: https://betterme.world/articles/is-betterme-free/ 

@amiablePeace77

Having sustained energy levels throughout the day is one of the signs of healthy aging. 

This I see a significant decline and it is connected to mobility and being in pain and quality of sleep combo. I use the Welltory app that helps me tons I like monitor improvement always …it compares sedentary stress too much sitting the pressure climbs and stress coping exercise helps ease the strain. It is a measure of function rather than fitness. The goal for longevity is 4500 steps for older persons will significantly increase longevity. 

Aging well includes maintaining a good range of motion and flexibility. Regular stretching exercises and activities like yoga or Pilates can help improve flexibility, ensuring that joints remain mobile and reducing the risk of injuries.

i am about to move more and plan on water aerobics and walking mire or worse case work in functional things like errands and chores around the house. It all counts. 

Adequate rest and proper nutrition are very important and of course healthy sleep.

i need to sleep more than usual as i age around 9 hours if i can get it to feel rested. 

I want to continue to be able to do what i do now … not lose function.
