Are you scared of getting older/ageing?!


Question: Are you scared of getting older/ageing!?
I'm 25, but I often get scared of getting older!. I look at the pictures of some of my family members when they were my age, and when you compare it to how they look today it can be quite depressing!. Not that everyone will look horrendous when they're older, but does ageing ever scare you!? Not just from a looks perspective, but all the other complications that come with ages: sore joints, a greater likelihood of health complications, getting closer to death!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Most young people are scared of getting older because the media disregards the advantages of age!. Once a person hits a certain age, people believe you are no longer attractive and 'in your prime!.'

As for all the other complications that come with age, such as aching joints, brittle bones, etc, etc, I think it's worth it!. Life is long and most of it is spent dealing with these issues!. Although it may sound depressing, with age the mind learns so much, is much more mature and full of wisdom!. Watching the world develop from when you were young can be exciting and refreshing!. Age is just a number anyway!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I saw a survey somewhere that questioned people over 60, and they said they are happier now than at any other time in their life, so go figure!. They say the "first cut is the deepest" so there is a lot of pain associated with the sweetness of youth!.

I read in Men's Health magazine that the old notion that we lose muscle mass naturally as we age is false, and that consistent work outs keep you energized and looking better!.

There are trade offs, of course, but consider the alternative to aging!. Living is always more fun!!!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I will be 37 in a few months!.!.!.and I can't wait to turn 40!. Probably sounds wild, but I love 'age'!. Mind you, I don't like 'old', but I love the experience we acquire as we age!. I know many young 50 year olds, but many old 40 year olds!.!.!.!.!.it's all a state of mind!.

The post that described exercise as a way to remain 'young' is very true!. Many people are quite surprised to find that I am about to turn 37 because I "look" 28 or so!.!.!.!.!.!.which is cool!. To add to that, I exercise/work out 6 times a week!.!.!.!.!.

Anyway!.!.!.!.!.so am I afraid to get "old!?" Yes!.!.!.am I afraid to 'age' - No way!.!.!.!.!.!.bring it on! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
