Key Takeaways
- Mindset is very powerful - studies show changing how you think about aging can add 7-8 healthy years to your lifespan.
- We need to dismantle ageism in society and media. Making fun of people for being old is socially acceptable when it shouldn't be.
- Intergenerational relationships are important to help reduce age segregation.
- Language matters - we need more positive language around aging. Terms like "elder" or "older adult" are preferred over "elderly" or "senior citizen".
- Planning for your older years is an act of self-love. Have conversations with loved ones about wishes and values.
- Research shows that simply reframing your mindset around aging starting at late as 50 can add 7-8 healthy years to your lifespan. This is as impactful as quitting smoking or increasing physical activity.
- Highlights the power of mindset and that we can shape our experience of aging.
- Ageism is socially acceptable - it's common in media and comedy to make fun of people for being old. This perpetuates negative stereotypes and prolongs improvement in how we view aging.
- We need to seek more intergenerational relationships and integration to help reduce ageism.
- Preferred terms are "older adult", "elder", "elderhood". Avoid language that groups all older adults together or makes blanket assumptions.
- Planning for your older years is an act of self-love. Have open conversations with loved ones about values, wishes, fears around aging and end-of-life.
- We will all face infirmity and death eventually. Making plans helps reduce burden on loved ones later on.
