The only thing holding us back is ourselves. We either have the ability or have the ability to acquire the ability. Never blindly believe indoctrination. Create the reality that has meaning and value to you.
These photos definitely disprove the common statement that women make... "It's normal for all women to get fat as they get older." If I still ate the way I did when I was a teen, I wouldn't be able to walk through doorways. I choose to maintain my 6' & 155# rather than insist I'm entitled to my comfort food.
One thing to be aware of is we're not invulnerable when we're young, no matter how much we believe it. Injuries and pushing ourselves beyond our limits when we're young will limit our ability to do unlimited exercising as we get older. My years of extreme backpacking has worn away all the cartilage in my knee, leading me to slow down in order to limit the pain.
The genes may make it easier for some, but it's rare for genes to make it impossible for others. High blood pressure, obesity and heart disease genetically runs in my family. I chose to live a healthy lifestyle. I'm far from perfect, but I have none of those issues.
Let me give you an example. Both my dad and I had a tendency to stick our tongue out when we were deeply focused on something. I didn't like that trait, so I stopped doing it. One day, without seeing either my dad or me do this, I saw my son do it. I grabbed his tongue and caught him off guard. I then explained the genetic tendency. He hasn't done it since. Don't give in to something you don't like if it's within your ability to do something about it.
I don't look like either one of them. This is about health and fitness, not looking like other people. I have a full head of mostly brown hair, though some gray is sprinkled in there. I doubt Wendy Ina will get to my age and not have some gray (unless she chooses to dye her hair). She's probably had procedures on her face to maintain a youthful look, but her muscles and fitness are real.
Sure, genes matter, but don't use genes as an excuse for lack of self-care. Genes don't necessarily guaranty a particular outcome. I will probably outlive my ancestors, but that is due to my choices, not my genes.
Haven't you ever seen people who prioritize fancy hair, makeup, nails, clothing and cosmetic surgery to cover up their lack of self-care? What will you accomplish be putting lipstick on a pig?
@caring__1 I never said genes should be an excuse for being careless though
I am only saying that some very specific genes will play a key role on the fact that you will look like a 30 year old when you're 60 plus...
for the same reason that you are 70 and have a head full of hair, the same my father does have a head full of hair at his 60's... if the two of you did not have those genes, then there would be little to do about hair loss
