How do you want to age: healthy and energetic or limited and dependent on medication?

I want to grow old so healthy and strong. I know getting old is like a burden to oneself, the body system will be weak, and the way an old person reason is sometimes out of point. These factors are natural as we grow older.
I try my possible best to abstain from things that will affect me when I get old, for instance, I don't use robbing cream that would hurt my skin over time, and I don't depend on any aspect of my life to function on drugs, I balance my social life such that it will not affect my mental health when I get aged. These among many other things I do to maintain my health and strength when I get old.
What are you doing to reach the old age you long for?
Before you get something right, you will need to know how to go about that. Every day, I observe my exercise and eat a lot of vegetables and 🍑 fruits to keep fit.
I try to restrict myself from anything artificial and maintain my natural self, I do my best and get involved in things that will not affect me in the future, getting old is unavoidable but I know for sure that when my main natural self, keeps proper hygiene, I will not find it difficult to manage my self when I get old. I do my best to be healthy even when I get old.
Are you afraid of growing old, yes or no? Justify your answer.
Even if I am afraid to get old I know I must get old so why should I be afraid of what I know is certain? Sometimes, if I see how old people behave and are treated, I get afraid of getting aged, but I get encouraged at the same time if I see old people that are successful and still creating an impact on society, see examples like the great LATE. QUEEN ELIZABETH OF ENGLAND.

I am not afraid to get old because I know when I get old, I will still be making an impact and be a very strong woman even when I am aged. Old age only gets annoying if you have no people around you and you have nothing to do, I start preparing now to have a healthy old age.
Do you have any experience to share with us about an older adult who is an example for you to follow?
Yes. One of the old adults that inspired me in this life is the great queen Elizabeth of England. Even in her old age, she is still one of the great queens of England.
Queen Elizabeth was known for having a serious interest in government and political influence, apart from many of her good did, Queen Elizabeth was 96 years before she died and she was still influential in her reign even in her old age.
I wish to be like queen Elizabeth where age will not be a barrier to what I can do and achieve. I want to also create an impact on society at all times, the older I become, the more influential I will be.
Conclusion
Getting old is sure but getting old and still strong and healthy is what everybody so many desires, start planning now and get to grow older and not to regret it.

Hello @yakspeace
You have written very well on this. Old age inevitable, no one escapes it. But one thing we need to take into consideration is how well are we preparing for it, because living a very wonderful old age definitely depends on how we prepare for it. Your post is very interesting. You made very good points, I enjoyed reading it.
Wish you best of luck.
