Age related decline.

[Lord Alfred]

Always been fascinated by this topic, in part due to the nature of my job where I deal with a lot of people nearing the end of their lives, but also from a personal viewpoint of coming from a background of sport and activity most of my life.

Now I’m entering the latter stages myself I just wonder how much is inevitable (obviously death is) and just how much can be mitigated by lifestyle choices.

Thoughts?

Quality of life can be extended with proper nutrition and plenty of exercise.

people need to lose all the middle aged spread they have accumulated before they get near 60. They also need to do loads of exercise.

Also, need to keep interested in intellectual pursuits.

Old age is not for sitting around. may as well be dead. IMHO.

Death by bullet I’d wager

Although a head shot may not get through the hair.

My mam was the same age as the queen and died this year. The queen was pictured this year driving a Range Rover.
I'd say the golden rule is that being waited on night and day and having immediate access to the best medical care available will prolong your active life into your nineties.

Latest thinking is this needs to be maintained throughout your life. Pointless getting to 60 odd then doing a bit sudoku.

You can decide what you want from life. If you want to be slow, old fucker then that's what you will be.

I said keep interested.

Edit, a motor skill like learning an instrument helps.

Sod it. Going to follow a family tradition and spend my days shouting nonsense at students outside the Royalty.

You need to lift heavy weights and read dictionaries.

At the age of 70 you should still be able to back squat x2 your body weight.

If you cannot maintain an erection for more than 20 minutes then I recommend a mixture of beetroot and pomegranate juice thrice daily.

A hard on is not worth it if you are stuck on the pot for 24 hours a day.

It stops you falling down the toilet though if you rest it on the seat.

I’m still in perfect working order thanks, despite the extra pounds. Not sure a lot of exercise is good for you either.
