Ways to improve getting older

That was to jess

What about those of us who haven't been grafting away 9-5? It's ok for us to carry on the same, isn't it?

Hello Jess! (shouted)

She's in Australia isn't she?!

Hello!!!! Waves....

janthea where's there's will there's a way

susiecb, nanny1, butternut, goldengran I wish! Chance would be a fine thing!

Yeah Susiecb - best excercise and cheerer upper you can have and you don't even have to get out of bed (unless you are looking for a bit of variety).

susiecb I third it!

Mamie

I second that susiecb

Lots of sex

Keep gardening - fresh air, exercise, new hopes / expectations every year, staying close to the natural life cycle.

New teeth from stem cells sounds good, but in my optimistic moments I doubt they'll be too expensive... I bet the crowns and bridges and other stuff some of us have now would have seemed prohbitively expensive a generation or two ago and yet, when the time came, we afforded them.

Take more exercise. Find a way to carry on doing some work, either paid or unpaid. I understand that retirement must seem attractive to those who have been grafting away 9-5 in the same job but not doing any useful or productive work seems to me a fast track to old age.
Get good glasses.
The notion of replacement teeth grown from stem cells is appealing - but I suspect they will be prohibitively expensive when the technology is established.

crimson put your name on the list for replacement joints when you are 55 and you will be near the top of the list come 60! then off you go for another 30 odd yrs,job done

..having a paid 'gap decade' at fifty to do all the things you want to do before the knees and hip stop you doing it...

..not having to work till you're 69....

Butternut -

.... ignoring it as much as possible.
