remaining as active as you can be keeps me young.

Roller Skating!

Interesting question, indeed? As I am preparing to leave the 40s, I certainly can say that it is a decade of many changes (mostly with the kids going from needing Mom to on their own!). I certainly feel that taking good care of myself and doing the things that I love, regardless of age, keep me feeling young. A couple of my youthful things I haven't grown out of:
PB and J Sandwiches
Riding my bike, for fun, for exercise, for transportation, for fun
Playing with my pet (I have a lovebird these days)
Cooking great food while dancing around the kitchen to "old" music.

But really, the PB&J... that's the one that makes me feel most like a kid again. :-)

My 15 yr old son keeps me young. We joke that I'm really 12.

Folks mentioned embracing their grey hair. I did the opposite. In June, son pointed out that I had grey hair above my ears. I denied it. He insisted and started laughing. I "got him back" by figuring that if I had to dye my hair anyway and was taking him to his first pride festival (where I would be wearing my homesewn rainbow skirt,) I was going to go "full rainbow." He wouldn't look at me for 2 weeks. :laugh:

I love, love, love my rainbow hair! There's a pic of it on my profile. The blue, purple, and orange has faded. The aqua has turned green and is close to being gone. The red turned into a beautiful magenta. (I'm one who normally hates pink too.) Once all of this fades, including the initial color I used to bring my hair from gray & light brown to a golden blonde, I plan on doing half red & half orange. I say, you're never too old to have rainbow hair! It gets lots of compliments too. :happy:

Needless to say, I never take myself too seriously. I had a hard childhood & young adulthood. I'm living my middle-age hood full of laughter and fun. I refuse to "act my age." Like I said in the beginning, my amazing son helps with that.

In my mind it still feel as if I'm in my twenties!! I ride my horses and just try to embrace life and enjoy the small things in life like going for walks with hubby and the dogs. I guess staying healthy is the best way to stay young.

My 11 year old daughter, and my 20 year old son . . . being around people of all ages . . Loreal Revitalift on face and eyes . . dry brushing . . . and going outside to parks, and my kids sporting events . . just keep moving . . . daily . . and try to get enough rest, if I'm tired and able, I will take a nap

I am new to the 40's and just wondered what you amazing ladies consider your fountain of youth?

Aside from changing my eating habits from pizza and soda to kale salad and lemon water, I do yoga, watch funny flicks, run in the rain, dance a bit more, travel, and lately ... obstacle events that lets me wear my amazin' tutu!

I believe water is your best friend!! Makeup is not necessary and dove soap rocks!!

I a m 44 years young and have a an almost 2 year old grandson that my husband and I are helping our daughter raise. He keeps be running and they both keep me young in different way!

I get told that I don't look my age.
Now weight ages a person visually, so losing weight to be slim totally helps. For everything else I can only attribute (if there's any truth in their comments) to the following factors:
- no smoking
- no drugs
- social drinking only
- minimal tanning
(all in all, some would say a boring life) However, I look younger than many of them do...just sayin'

Cartwheels!!!!!

This is an interesting question.
I learn from a woman in her 80s years back, that it all have to do With Your thinking.
She behaved and were thinking just as I imagine her doing when being in her 20s.
She have become my big inspiration.
Showing me that you can be just how you want in spite of disease and age
