Former Former Owner at The Bangsaray Club (2016–2023) Oct 4
As a reasonably healthy 64 year old, now retired, may I offer my 64 cents worth.
- Avoid impact sports, specially running. It includes things like soccer and squash. Take up swimming and cycling instead.
- Avoid stress. If you have a stressful occupation, change it or retire. If you are in a stressful relationship, end it. Take gentle exercise in nature, or something else that relaxes you.
- Take alcohol in moderation. Personally, I don’t suffer ill effects from drinking, so I find a few beers or wine is fine for me. If alcohol causes you any problems either physically or mentally, then cut it out!
- Reduce your food intake. As we age, our bodies need less food. This is particularly important, if like me. You find it increasingly difficult to control your weight.
- Avoid a sedentary lifestyle. You must keep yourself active and challenged as you get older, or you will drift into decline. Activities that involve interacting with people are specially beneficial. Join clubs, or better still, organise them.
As the Irish toast goes, “May you live as long as you want to and want to as long as you live!”
