Use Active Aging Week as a time to work on your flexibility as new research suggests that levels of flexibility may affect survival in middle-aged individuals. After analyzing data on 3,139 people (66% men) with a mean age of 58, investigators obtained a body flexibility score, called Flexindex. This score was derived from a combination of the passive range of motion in 20 movements (each scored 0–4) involving 7 different joints, resulting in a score range of 0–80.

A 2023 US National Institutes of Health study published in The Lancet documents adults who are well-hydrated may be healthier, develop fewer chronic conditions (like heart and lung disease), and live longer versus those who are not getting sufficient fluids. One study author commented “The results suggest that proper hydration may slow down aging and prolong a disease-free life.”

Would you give up a year of your life to have a better body and the so called ideal look?

In its 2024 global report, Dove found two in five women would give up a year of their life to achieve an ideal look or body. The study shows that while beauty ideals have diversified over the years, the checklist is growing and impossible to meet – from looking healthy (79%) to also being slim (71%), having a small waist (66%) while also being curvy (55%). Two in three women believe that women today are expected to be more physically attractive than their mother's generation was.
