Iā€™m afraid thereā€™s nothing that does. I keep ageing no matter what I do. What would help to keep me going is good genes which I donā€™t have.

I think these words are quite relevant

ā€˜Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you
If youā€™re young at heart
For itā€™s hard, you will find, to be narrow of mind
If youā€™re young at heart

You can go to extremes with impossible schemes
You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams
And life gets more exciting with each passing day
And love is either in your heart, or on itā€™s way

Donā€™t you know that itā€™s worth every treasure on Earth
To be young at heart
For as rich as you are, itā€™s much better by far
To be young at heartā€™

I find keeping a sense of the ridiculous, trying not to complain about stuff too much, coloring my hair every 3 weeks and avoiding bright red lipstick all helpsā€¦

I agree Ambre, apart from coloring the hair and the lipstick :icon_wink:

It canā€™t all be genetic, having witnessed what came before.

Having a sense of humour Azz, and not taking life too seriously.
Positive attitudeā€¦If you think you can do something, you probably can.

Well said, no doubt, if you want to narrow it down to being young at heart. Thinking about it, keeping oneself young might be too tall an order. If Azz had asked: What keeps you going, he may have got different answers.

What keeps me young, well feeling younger anyway.?..My daughter, she drags me to everything, car boots, flea markets, antique fairs, towns for shopping in charity shops. If I didnā€™t put my foot down sheā€™d have me out every day somewhere. She forgets how old I am Iā€™m sure. :laughing: I am lucky to have her & to be reasonabley healthy for my age too.

That sounds like a page out of Mrs Foxā€™s life Tiff.
Especially the charity shops with our Daughter.

Having a dog keeps me young, I have to take her out for her walk every day, so thatā€™s my exercise. On the walk I meet other folks around the village and often stop for a chat - living alone I would go for days without talking to anyone if I didnā€™t go on the dog walks. :service_dog:
Mind you, sometimes on my return from the walks I feel even older until Iā€™ve revived myself with a morning coffee! :coffee:

I also enjoy doing the cryptic crossword in the Telegraph - that keeps my brain active too.

Itā€™s something you think about a lot more when you retire, and health issues can have an impact on life in general, for the young and the old.

Physically, i try to get as much exercise as possible by being less dependent on a car, and walking regularly into town (20 mins) and back again, or by using the stairs instead of a lift.

Having a good sense of humour, watching programmes that make me laugh (mostly), having interests and hobbies is also good for ā€˜brainā€™ health, and i donā€™t dwell on the bad stuff in the news for too long.
