When you're in your 40s, you become more conscious of life being of limited duration and that you need to create memories and go on little adventures from time to time.

Once you avoid the things that accelerate aging like smoking, obesity, excessive alcohol consumption, and excessive sun exposure, you've done about as much as you can to influence your aging process.

Age is the single largest risk factor for an enormous number of diseases. So if you can essentially postpone aging, then you can have beneficial effects on a whole wide range of disease.

'Aging' has been bad ever since we figured out it led to dying.

A lot happens at 50, the best thing being that you just don't care anymore. At 40, you still care. At 30, you care way too much - and your twenties are quite frankly a nightmare. Bring on 60, I say: just imagine the joy of having grandchildren.

The 40s onwards are when we can really begin to enjoy ourselves. For many women, this is when everything comes together, and they look better than ever. The great thing about getting older is you don't have to do/wear/say anything you don't want to. It wasn't until my very late 30s that I stopped worrying about what other people thought.

Your 40s are a major trough. About the age of 50, feelings of satisfaction begin to rebound and keep rising into your 50s, 60s and 70s, with health being a major factor.

Ageing is, simply and clearly, the accumulation of damage in the body. That's all that ageing is.

Some days, you feel like a 22-year-old and some days you feel like a 40-year-old.

From my perspective, there's no reason to be afraid of aging, because if you age, you're lucky! The alternative is death.
