What common factors are usually present when a person has notably aged well? [ " Physically, the process of aging seems to be mostly about drying out. You lose muscle volume. The discs in your spine dry out and become thinner, causing you to lose height. Your skin becomes drier and less elastic. Your interests in life might shrivel too. When I think about people I know who are over 90 years of age, who seem to me to have aged well, what they have in common is juiciness. They move every day so their joints stay limber. They exercise their minds too, so they are still sharp. Their humour gets worked out so they are always ready to laugh and smile. They don’t seem dry and shriveled. They seem full and ripe. It looks like the secret of aging well is to stay juicy." ] 342.6K views View 1,878 upvotes View 23 sharesAnswer requested by Judy Hulen
