You can very very active at age 52 if you maintain your health. Go to the gym and eat well now so you can avoid picking out a mobility scooter at age 52.

As a personal antidote, I would say that health is “free” up to age like 30. After age 30 you need to put some work in.

I just picture an elderly gen-xer with his beer belly, dropping his reading glasses in the forest and going OH NO like Mike Stoklasa in RLM videos, and has a heart attack from the strain of picking up his glasses, while thinking that he's better than when he was in his 20s (a common mental illness among my gen x cohort).

I call it "Middle Age Delusional Syndrome". There is nothing better than youth, and our lack of anti-aging technology, or even interest in it, baffles me.
