Top tips for women to stay fit and healthy after 50

How do people define "old"? Is it reaching a specific physical age, or starting to face some old age derived unhealthy problems?

No matter how hard we try to teach them that differences are what makes everyone unique and that those differences are not bad at all, ever, they still get teased and that sticks.
