At 70, I look after myself differently than I did at 50

I’ve been living a healthy lifestyle since my late twenties. Surely, that’s enough? Why change what I’m doing?

In the video below, I look back and reflect to see what I’ve changed since I was 50. I even surprised myself to see just how much has changed.  Besides the advances in health and nutrition, there’s a big difference in being 70 as opposed to being 50. It makes sense to make adjustments as you get older.

What’s very clear, is that priorities in health change

As discussed in the video, I explain why I now choose being strong over being slim. A huge change and an important one.

I also consume a lot more protein now. The importance of adequate high quality protein is not be underestimated.

And then there’s the subject of stress.

I’ve learned to take it much more seriously.

Also the link to the supplement I mention in the video below, that helped so much with my anxiety: ALBIZIA

Mindset is possibly the area that’s seen the biggest shift for me.

I listen to my body more

If we listen to our bodies, we realise they know what we need. When exhausted or over worked, is that session in the gym really what you need? Or is a gentle walk in the park more beneficial?

Beauty from the inside

This has always been the Ageless philosophy but I only started Ageless when I was 58! It helped me identify and put into motion what I’d always instinctively felt.

Purpose is a huge part of wellbeing

This is something I’ve only come to fully understand as I’ve got older. Retirement, without a plan of action, is probably one of the most challenging factors for health, for example. Staying curious, engaged and looking forward without limiting ourselves because we’re a “certain age”, is paramount to wellbeing.

Now have a listen to hear more about the things that I do very differently now:
