Jane Fonda with a secret of aging well

A Yale study showed that older people with more positive beliefs about aging lived an average of 7.5 longer than people who equated aging with disease and decline. Actress and activist Jane Fonda and anti-ageism advocate Ashton Applewhite present "Sunday Morning" viewers with a key to living a longer life, by maintaining a better outlook.

How is nobody talking about 'Health and Beauty Mastery' by Julian Bannett. That book is life changing.

Thanks, we all needed that, now I’m off to my photography class (age 77)

[marilynwright]

I learned at 19 how much jane fonda knew. I followed her advice ...I am 62 no meds, yoga, humor, faith in God....sober 15 years....

All the fun stuff I never had time for while I was working 60 hours a week! I am 66 and I got to pick and cut down, in the wild, my first Christmas tree ever! 🌲 There is just so much to do and learn!

I am a social psychologist and have been working in the field of aging well for nearly 20 years, sponsoring and leading groups of elders living from my community. Fonda's message synchs very much with our experiences. Our focus is on catalyzing deep connections, through a mix of engagement types; from deeply heart-felt and intellectual discussions to, some of light and social. All provide an open and safe space to examine the experience the aging journey for elders and middle age children, both women and men.

What bitter comments regarding her plastic surgery…how trite to bring notice to her aging hands. Who cares? She’s Jane Effing Fonda and trying to do good with the years left to her. I’m 83 and blessed with health and vitality and love in my life and I love to hear her positive words. She inspires me. The negative commenters didn’t hear a word she said.

I am 60 years old and I approve of this segment ❤🎉!

[EricaHansberry]

And still a phenomenal actress. I'd love to have cocktails and chat with her about life.

I'll be 70 next year and I love it. The older I get the more confident in my own skin I become. I'm almost totally gray and have my share of wrinkles, along with sagging skin. Since fighting aging doesn't work, just sit back and enjoy the journey. Oh, and be kind and helpful, it really makes you feel good.

I live a pretty simple life but creating is my biggest passion and pursuit. I also volunteer, picking a new charity every year. This year, it's an animal sanctuary in Texas. You don't need much to be happy and being around people during the day is enough to keep me young.

Turning 50 this year. I needed that. Thanks.

[ReporterLizAdeola]

Love this piece please make Senior Moment a regular reoccurring segment!

[Abi-eqd]

I truly loved getting old once I turned 60 it was a blessing. I do what I want when I want. I am busy. The hobbies I had as I child I still love them now. I watch cartoons, I paint, I meet my friends daily. I travel, I love to cook and clean lol. Laughter has been my best meds to date. I retired at 50 that was my goal once I started working. I do not care what people think of me. It is not important to be liked anymore. I date, and I volunteer. Life is good, not millionaire but it was never a goal for me

[annawolfe]

Oh my God this was so awesome! Thank you so much Jane! I'm bookmarking this one along with the 90 year old yoga teacher videos.

Walk 3 miles a day, no meds, volunteering, at 77. Big family too.💕❤️💕Oh, my fabulous husband of 56 years!

[theskiesthelimit-qk]

Thank you Jane Fonda for setting us straight on aging! I love your advice and look forward to many Senior Moments.

[lorettanericcio-bohlman]

Thank you Jane, you rock. Just turned 70 and doing some of my best mountain biking… no alcohol for 38 years is key for me. A hit of pot and a good soak works wonders.

It's all about art & attitude baby!!!
