I love these WebMD quizzes. I thought this was a particularly germane one for us.
There are only nine questions, but I want to offer a couple of sample. You can take the quiz here.
I only missed a couple (wheew!). Since I have been writing this blog for nearly 10 years, I expected to crush it.
Here are a couple of examples:
True or False – Thinner is better as you get older. Unlike the majority of our lives, things change as we age. The answer is, “You want to be healthy, not frail. For older adults, what matters most is how active you are and whether you can do all your everyday activities. While it’s important to stay at a healthy weight, how much of your weight ”
I thought that was an excellent insight which many people would not know.
True or False. Gaining weight is a fact of aging. This one is also not obvious. “You can keep your weight steady as you age. It does get harder, but it’s possible. Those corners you cut when you were younger (huge portions, happy hours, little to no exercise)? You can’t But age doesn’t have to equal weight gain.”
I must admit that the statement, You can’t get away with them anymore, is, I think, no secret to any of us over 50.
