The lady I work with reminds me of a great grandmother, very wrinkled and just "old acting", doesn't like to do much and just a bore to talk with.


How do you avoid becoming "old" as you age?

Eat healthy.

SLeep an appropriately length of time.

Exercise.

Use facial restorative serums.

DON'T SMOKE, It ages you prematurely.

HAVE plastic surgery!!!!

Be staunch in your beliefs and convince yourself that you're just too mean to die.

Being afraid to grow old is part of what makes you seem old. If you need a cane to walk safely, but are too embarrassed to be seen with a cane, and that causes you to fall and hit your head on something hard, that can make you seem much older much faster.

there is only one way I know of to avoid getting old, but I wouldn't recommend it!

Everyone gets old at the same rate. No one has any more time than you do. The question should be, "How do you run longer than the next guy?" Simple, better maintenance. You are no more than a biological machine, and the care you give that machine will determine how long it lasts, if you don't have abnormal breakage or problems. (sickness) As it is above, so it is below.

You can't. We are all going to age and die. Sorry....

It's all in the genes. Aside from that, just don't go overboard with drinking, and don't smoke. If you have light skin, stay out of the sun.

I just turned 49 two days ago. I went skateboarding at a local skate park that day.
I've been skateboarding since I was 12 years old.

I'm not immature, I just enjoy things I've always done.

I think staying in touch with your youth and the things you did that you enjoyed has a notable beneficial effect on your health, your outlook and how others perceive you.

Skate on!!
