How to live like a 'superager' - BBC News

What will you be like in your 80s? If you find yourself living independently, robust in body and mind and with a wide social circle, congratulations - you are a superager.
In reality, most of us are living longer but more of those extra years are being spent in ill health, often with multiple chronic conditions.
We asked some superagers how to beat these ailments and age the right way.

Pour the stock and wine into a large, wide frying pan. Add the garlic, thyme, tarragon sprig and carrots, bring to the boil then lower the heat and simmer for 3 mins. Lay the chicken in the stock, grind over some pepper, cover and simmer for 5 mins. Scatter the leek slices over the chicken, cover again then gently simmer for 10 more mins, so the leeks can steam while the chicken cooks. Remove from the heat and let the chicken sit in the stock for about 15 mins, so it keeps moist while cooling slightly

Working two jobs to make ends meet with only two childrens and no savings for their college. I just wish I could walk straight when I reach that edge of theirs.

As someone under 30 I can say just eat your vegetables. Drink plenty of water, and keep yourself busy

part of ''aging gracefully'' is not succumbing to delusions like "age is just a number" - these old women prancing around as if they were girls are ridiculous.
