I am 68 and my husband of 10 years is nearly 80. I have always eaten fairly healthily and kept my weight under control and recently joined a gym to get myself stronger as I age. My husband doesn’t eat so well and seems to want to eat unhealthy foods. He can’t walk very far and doesn’t seem to want to go walking with me. He is quite overweight and doesn’t feel very well sometimes and won’t have it that he’s eating all the wrong things. He won’t do any exercise apart from the odd game of bowls and I can see him getting older and more unfit as the days go by whereas it’s the opposite for me . It’s quite frustrating trying to get him to cut out all the unhealthy foods and I get told to stop going on about it. The saying comes to mind “You can take a horse to water but you can’t make it drink
