Are You Aging Well?
Getting old never looked so good. While tech entrepreneurs and biohackers race to rewrite the rules of longevity, there are everyday telltale signs you’re aging well without a health tracker or blood tests. Rather than simply avoiding disease, getting older well involves a more holistic view of physical, mental and emotional health, according to Dr. Tina Sadarangani, PhD, a board-certified adult and geriatric nurse practitioner.
“Aging well in your 40s and 50s doesn’t just mean looking younger,” Sadarangani told The Post. “It also means feeling and functioning at your best.”
And on the flip side, there are warning signs that things may be heading south once you approach the mid-century mark. “The 40s and 50s represent a critical window when many age-related changes first become apparent or accelerate,” Emmanuel Osei-Boamah, a board-certified geriatrician and physician with Mercy Family Care in Baltimore, told The Post.
