"“I probably felt my oldest at around 50,” says Liz Earle, radiating good health down a Zoom from a ski chalet in Austria. “I think when you go into your 40s, you're thinking, midlife, middle age. But when you get to 50, you start thinking, 'Ooh, older age is really creeping up on me.' And that, for me, didn't feel particularly good.”"
"“I wasn't particularly strong because I wasn't lifting any weights. I hadn't sorted out my hormones yet, so I was feeling much more anxious and low in energy. And I was also seeing the visible signs of ageing on my face, certainly more than I am now.”"
Liz Earle says she felt her oldest around age 50, when she noticed creeping older age and felt less good. She links that period to not lifting weights, not having sorted out her hormones, and experiencing more anxiety and low energy. She also noticed more visible signs of ageing on her face than she does now. She describes a shift in mindset as she moved from thinking about midlife in her 40s to feeling older age approaching in her 50s. Her new book, How to Age: Supercharge Your Health and Feel Better Than Ever, presents tips for ageing with vitality.
