Written by MindMate Staff Ageing is inevitable: Unfortunately, even in our 21st century, technologically advanced world, science has yet to evolve to the point where the passage of time can be paused, or even slowed.
For many of us of midlife age, this reality is one we are reluctant to confront. The prospect of old-age and all its complexities often fills us with dread as the slightest realisation that we’re not as young and agile as we once were conjures up images of hunched bodies slouched in chairs, incoherent, helpless, and worst of all fully reliant on others for even the most basic of functions. It doesn’t have to be this way. Really, it doesn’t. Ageing might be inevitable, beyond our control, but ageing well is not! If we make the right choices now, research shows we can significantly and drastically improve the quality of life we’ll have in the years to come.
