Attitude is the best OAP SINdrome preventing drug.
I am over 50. I live still like a student. I hang out with Mary Jane all the time, I dance around the house to the electronic House Music I make, play my Gibson guitars, act like a five year old sometimes, make silly noises and put on silly characters (I studied literature and drama at Uni). I am mainly vegetarian, but eat a little fish sometimes; fruits and vegetables. I do not have a car. I walk and cycle everywhere. I have a 28 inch waist and it has not changed since I was 16. Only thing I do have is some grey hairs and that gives me away. I used to dye my hair and would be treated as they treat a young person, you know that contempt and jealousy the older ones get about youth; man, I am staying CLEAR OF THAT. It is so ugly to behold. I NEVER want to end up like that.
I keep learning new things every day. I encourage the CHILD WITHIN. I learned of this in my twenties and made sure I stuck to the theme.
The big NO is alcohol, hard drugs, junk food, driving cars. They all age you terribly. I have watched the people around me aging much faster.
Having kids does age you. They take up so much of your energy and sap you, but it is the most noble pursuit of course; a worthy sacrifice. I would have much rather had a wifey and kids. I envy others that.
Stress I have had plenty of that. I live in a continual state of anxiety. I don't think that ages people alone, but their responses to that (escapism with chemicals, habits, et c) does. As I said earlier:
IT IS ATTITUDE. Attitude is huge.
Child within. Try it. Be a fool sometimes when in your own company. Chatter like a monkey to yourself in the mirror. It enables you to take yourself less seriously. Squirm around on the floor like you did when a child. Make love like you are 23 again.
I promise you it helps, at any age.

Unhealthy living is the quickest and most painfully way to die.
For the record I think that beer, wine, and spirits are just fine , in moderation, as long as you don't poison yourself with food that has ingredients you can't even pronounce.

People like my Dad are living a longer life because they never smoked or drank, ate healthy, exercised, etc.
Now he gets to 'enjoy' the latter years of his life, shrinking up, becoming emaciated, unable to walk, sitting in his lonely house for years on end with no friends, no entertainment, slowly vegetating, for what?
Gimme a heart attack before I get anywhere near that old.

I don't believe they have acccess to anything that we do not. As long as we have the money.
Most of what keeps these people young looking is make up.
The other half of the equation is diet and mobility.
As long as you don't eat garbage and you don't sit on your ass all day.
Coupled with staying indoors and tons of make up you to can be younger.
Remember these people have the money to hire a guy that makes them stay healthy.
Personal trainers, dietitians, nutritionist. It's easy access to these types of professionals that really set us apart from the rich.
No magic needed, just discipline and money.
