is 40 the new 20, 50 the new 30 and 60 the new 40?

I agree 100 percent with what you have said. I dress and act differently than my mother did. My mom wore mostly polyester knits and leisure suits.. if you remember what they were... and she wore a lot of mismatched outfits that made her look boxy instead of complimenting her shape. Nowadays, there is just more taught on how to dress... and makeup is another thing.. less is more. I just use a touch of blush and a little eyebrow pencil on my face and occasionally will line my eyes for a more dramatic effect. Today, we have Youtube to show us how to apply makeup, and there is so much more available now to women and men. Nowadays, most people exercise at least 30 minutes a day and they care what they look like. They care what they put into their mouths because they don't want to wear the extra fat that comes from eating poorly. Heart and cholesterol levels are usually much better in people who care what they eat and get up and move around. It's the people who don't bother that usually end up dying from poor health... not always... but mostly I think that's true... like diabetes type 2 is a preventable disease just by eating right and keeping your weight in normal range. I'm lucky, I'm over weight still, but have lost way over 100 pounds.. I am not diabetic and never was.

Hi there, Marguicha and Pointless! I agree with both of you. People now have options and choices--it's not that they didn't have them in the past, but it's just that people now are more aware of them. There had been standards in the past that had been broken by men and women who have proven to everyone that a 60-year-old can be as fit as a 16-year-old.

Hi all ,what you've said really make sense.In modern society ,people have plenty of choices to enjoy life ,including keep young appearence.I think it's a good news for whole mankind,human beings become more aware of themselves.

Thank you, my secret is going to the gym three times a week and working out for 90 minutes, plus using moisturizer on my skin, but don't tell anyone I told you that, our secret LOL

Those are my secrets too. People always say I look younger than my age.

Hi sweet Wolf! It's good to see you. I love your avatar.. I really do. I am like you... no one ever guesses my age right. I look like I'm possibly in my mid to late 40s and I'm 62... will be 63 in June. I'm looking better now than I did last summer because more weight is coming off and I'm eating more fruits and veggies and taking vitamins.. Multi, E, and B7 and a B12 shot every month.

Hi which cream do you use? please share the secret. I don't use any cream as i have oily skin.But if you say that we look younger after using the cream in the old age then i will start using it from now itself.

Oh my who don't like to look young always ? None right , all wants to look young and gorgeous but pollutions are making us look old ! Also so much stress and pressure makes haggard face. So please friend share us your magic cream , so i will be gorgeous in the town..LOL ! No need to be gorgeous , just a light ,clear and pinkish face are all i need.

Gotcha! You catch them Cher :) Yalla! share the secret and let the people enjoy life as you do... Actually I'm using cream also for my face, it's a moisturizing cream that helps my skin maintain its natural beauty lols... ;)

Hi Mys! Really? I could not believe you're turning 60, err, 40. You sound more like 20 something to me. Yes, let's have a ball for all the years we've spent in this world. Thanks for the link.

Yeah, Anne, that's right. It feels great to feel young and brand new.

Let us all hope for the better for all of us. Here's to good health and long youth!

especially in south korea and japan. living standard has increased. many people have the luxury to live up till 70years old. For under developed country. and in the past, their life span is not exceeding 40 years old .. Sad to say

Wow, see, you're even proof to this. Here's to good health and youth.

July, it all depends on how we see life. If you think old, you will of course show what you think.

Life begins at 80---I know an 80-year-old here who ballrooms every night. And have you seen that 87-year-old skater who is still skating the time of her life? Yes, life begins at 80 and I have not begun mine yet.

Prashu, I am sure they followed a different calendar those days. Anyway, those who live healthy live longer and look younger.

We don't know how the people in the bible gauged years, so 150 years back then might not have been 365 day years. If you think about it, there is no physical evidence of humans living that long. Any archaeological digs that have been done always shows people of ancient times dying at around age 30 or 40. We are living much longer today than a 1000 years ago. There are a lot of religious beliefs, like the earth isn't old; some believe it's only 6,000 years old... but there is just no real evidence to support claims like that... so religion aside, we are living in a much healthier age than our parents did in the 1950s. All we have are stories from the bible and other ancient writings. They have nothing to do with what is in the here and now.. and in the times of our parents... not necessarily Abraham and Methuselah.

Amazing. These are inspiring stories that should also inspire the youth to avoid destructive behavior or those things that shorten life.

It is good to hear that Rho.

Really? That is another way of looking at it, because there are some older people who want to be independent even in old age.

I'm Asian, so that gives me age advantage.

Oh my. It is thus important for us to keep ourselves healthy. Some people die early because of bad lifestyle choices.

Wow, Pointless, that's so inspiring. That's the kind of thinking we all want now in order to enjoy life to the fullest. Keep it up!

Good observation, Rot. What are we going to do?

Really? She's trapped in the past and probably still feel young. I am like her.

Hi Ino. Yeah, people have to adjust to changes.
