Aging gracefully means being flexible, being open, allowing change, enjoying change and loving yourself.

My lab looks at the ability of stress hormones to kill brain cells, and basically we are trying to understand on a molecular level how a neuron dies after a stroke, a seizure, Alzheimer’s, brain aging, and what these stress hormones do to make it worse.
A romance novel focuses exclusively on two people falling in love. It can’t be about a woman caring for her aging mother or something like that. It can have that element, but it has to be primarily about the male-female relationship.
As soon as a handful of scientists come up with an intervention shown to influence aging in other species, they begin selling it as an intervention for humans, even though there may not be evidence it works.

There’s no such thing is aging, but maturing and knowledge. It’s beautiful, I call that beauty.
The bulk of my fans are my age, and I’m aging at the same rate they are. That makes me relevant. They like hearing what I have to say. I work hard at it, but it’s addicting, really.

Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi looks in the mirror and sees a playboy of the old school. And men such as Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Charlie Sheen no doubt look at Berlusconi and think, ‘Role model!’ Women, of course, know otherwise. They see him as an aging, pathetic buffoon.
Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and other varieties have anthocyanins that can help reverse some loss of balance and memory associated with aging.
I don’t want to fight aging; I want to take good care of myself, but plastic surgery and all that? I’m not interested.
Aging is an inevitable process. I surely wouldn’t want to grow younger. The older you become, the more you know; your bank account of knowledge is much richer.
Labor force participation peaked in early 2000, so its decline began well before the Great Recession. A portion of that decline clearly relates to the aging of the baby boom generation. But the pace of decline accelerated with the recession.
Aging in Hollywood sucks. There’s always so much pressure to look way younger than you are, and everyone’s watching! I’d like to embrace getting older, because it’s kind of inevitable. The different, wiser me, to be at peace with how I look and I’m supposed to look – it’s a work in progress.
It sounds so weird, but I’m totally pro-aging. If you look at the film industry, it’s so funny how it’s so much more accepted that actors begin their prime in their forties or fifties, and for women, it’s so different. I think it’s time to change that. Aging is a beautiful thing.
We used to think that aging was a lot like, as if we were cars made fresh and youthful and then we’ve entered this breakdown in diet. What we didn’t realize until recently is that we’re much more complex than a car. We fix ourselves if we’re broken.
As the numbers of native-born Europeans begin to fall, with their anemic fertility rates, will the aging Europeans become more magnanimous toward destitute newcomers who do not speak the national language or assimilate into the national culture but consume its benefits?

If you look at body fat, it seems to increase with age, even though your weight does not. That’s a physiological fact of aging, they say. Heck it is. It is an adaptive effect of aging.
I remember the moment I first became aware of aging. I was 30. I looked down at my knees, and the skin above them had become a little loose. And I thought, ‘And so it begins!’
We are not victims of aging, sickness and death. These are part of scenery, not the seer, who is immune to any form of change. This seer is the spirit, the expression of eternal being.
The public is absolutely fascinated by aging. They don’t want to get old. And you can see – read Shakespeare. Read the sonnets. They’re all about aging.
I really take good care of myself and I am fit. Fortunately, I think I am aging gracefully. And I am happy with the way I am.

I was born looking older – and I’ve been aging since I was a teenager.
Aging on camera is just very hard. I love my age. I feel good about myself but high definition television is not kind. You don’t even look like yourself in high-def.

Our concepts of aging really should be blurring because there are plenty of people who make it to older ages who aren’t really any different in many ways than people who are decades younger.
My position has always been that the way people age and the signs that we show of aging is nature’s way of tattooing. It’s natural scarification, and the life you lead gives you the symbols and the emblems of your life, the road map you followed.
The DCU Constantine has to be the guy we know and love, with his same failings – otherwise what’s the point of using him? But as I’m writing him, he’s younger and has perhaps been through a bit less than the battered, aging old sod we meet in Vertigo.
I don’t have a fear of aging or a fear of death.
