How do you think your body will feel when you are 72?

Question

Honestly, I never thought that my body would turn on me like it has.

I guess my stressful life had a lot to do with it. Not eating well. The COVID vaccines made me sick and I haven't ever recovered from them.

I hope I make to that age I have found there are foods that I eat that make my body so stiff so sore and I'm trying to figure out what it is I think it's tomatoes flower sugars are the worst thing in the world for me oh and potatoes and I love potatoes so slowly but surely I'm trying to I'm figuring it out what makes me feel good what makes me feel terrible

Sage something I started taking is Lymphatic drainage from the moment I started taking it i feel better.

And first me if I need to move my body at all times if I sit for a half an hour I can feel it and I think about that with people on here sitting here all day answering questions you're not working your muscles or any part of your body I always tell people to do tai chi it makes you feel good it works your muscles it's only a family of minutes a day I think if you tried that you would probably feel better

And with all the crap in there are foods nowadays that's enough to make us feel sluggish too I make a lot of soups with vegetables and broth and that seems to work good too

Oh I know how it feels. 😟 😆
Actually, I feel okay except for vision problems and the occasional ache and pain. I'm not out running and jumping, skateboarding or playing on the jungle gym.
Being old is a quite strange and unexpected experience. LOL

It felt better than it does now, that's for sure.

molonski2 · Answer

I feel great , I eat really well , run all the fun runs , work out , I'm the correct weight 68kg , swim , big steps per day 10k , sleep 8 hrs , lots of water , using special herbs to greatly reduce alcohol..

And from January 27 , I have 6 years to go to 72 , but barring accidents we in my line have great longevity..

Plenty of guys in their 80s entering the half marathon here , I see them at the races..

I expect to feel good , but I do agree that those vaccines - LIKE ALL SCRIPT medication ( big problem in USA ) were an absolute joke.

A nurse friend of mine ( Australia) was slapped on a bed screaming and crying while they injected her , she simply wanted to keep doing her job , mandatory is always a disgrace.

I honestly didn’t think I would live to see 26. It is just the way it was as I did some wild things. 72 wasn’t supposed to happen for me as at one point I was given 18 months to live if I didn’t have an operation. I did have that op 5 years ago.

I have looked much 10 to 20 years younger in my adult life than I actually was. I take better care of myself now than when I was younger even though I am way far from perfect.

So at 72, I will either be dead/dying or looking and feeling great as I am now. It’s a 50/50. I am betting on the latter.

I have always lived life like I will be skidding in sideways into heaven saying “what a rush”.

Melody90 · Answer

I imagine my body will be slower and less energetic than it is now, with some aches and limitations. But I hope to remain healthy, independent, and active for as long as possible. Aging is a natural part of life, and I'd rather focus on taking care of myself now than spend my time worrying about getting older.

Levin · Answer

Health is a funny thing. Had a lot of stress and anger in the last week. And in that week alone, I feel awful at the moment. Definitely think the emotions we're feeling on a day to day basis play a huge role.

Having said that, my interest is how to look after my body and for the most part I've gotten pretty good. What I do think is really helpful is a hip mobility routine.

With God's will I think I will be fine.

But we're living in funny times. Everything is disintegrating and nothing is guaranteed.

shish_kebab · Answer

Aging isn't a real phenomenon.
The body replaces its cells at different rates. Your outer skin is renewed every two to four weeks. The lining of your stomach turns over every few days. For bones, the skeleton completely remodels itself roughly every ten years, though bone tissue is constantly broken down and rebuilt. Muscle tissues generally take about fifteen years to fully refresh, and organs like your liver can regenerate within a few months. The body doesn't really wear out it just seems that way because it's designed to get rid of us to make room for new people. You just need to find a way to break away from the blueprint.

aceleon · Answer

dead. i highly doubt i will see that age but even if i saw it i doubt i will have anything else that could describe how my body will make me feel at that age since i am 24 and even now i don't feel particularly energetic or healthy.

Finchie40 · Answer

Like shit for sure if I make it to that age , At my age now I am feeling things I have never felt before , thankfully my doctor said I am still on good health but who knows for how long 😂

Anonymous · Answer

Hopefully good. The men in my family tend to die at 80 or 90 and remain in good health up until that.

My grandfather was cutting turf right up until 85. Died recently at 95 in his sleep he had lung problems at the end. I wouldn't want to live a longer life suffering with painful debilitating health problems

gasman70 · Answer

it depends on how you treat yourself and if you keep moving. someone told me once that the key to health is to keep moving. nothing is more right.

AviatorTom · Answer

I'm guessing a bit slower with a few aches and pains, and probably a few extra pounds around the waist.

FreyaRed · Answer

I don't think with environmental pollution and food filled with trash, much of us who are in 20 ties today will make above 70 anyway. So I say. I will be glad if I make that far.

Zack-Bann · Answer

At the rate I’m going my body will be strapped to a machine and my mind would exist through a computer. With every year is a new scar and I’m not 30 yet. 72 is a daunting thought

happyoldman · Answer

I'm turning 69 in a few days and I can definitely relate getting older throws curveballs we never expected sending you strength and hoping you find some relief 🙏

queenofcardio · Answer

Hopefully still very active. I have a coworker who just turned 60 and she still runs marathons.

NathanDavis · Answer

difficult to tell... as there are some things we won't have say on, nor much of an effect

thegreenyogi · Answer

I sure do hope it will feel good enough to enable me to be independent and nimble.

xawyx-3 · Answer

I'm not sure, I'll probably get tired sooner than usual.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Maybe the same as it does now but, hopefully, it'll feel a lot better.

Simslover92 · Answer

My grandmother is a healthy vibrant 76 year old. That gives me a lot of hope that I will be about the same one day if I keep the course of eating healthy and working out.
