Today I find myself looking back and I’m wondering – am I as fit at 70 as I was when I was 30? I’m certainly fit enough to do everything I want to like taking keep-fit classes, skiing, and playing tennis. In fact, in my twenties, after I’d had two babies, I wasn’t that fit. It was later that I developed a level of fitness that enabled me to go on breakfast-time television, but that didn’t start until I was about 40.

Look After Your Face
For years during my 20’s and 30’s I worked as a Fashion and Photographic model which took me all around the world before I finally settled into Radio and Television presentation. Throughout this time I religiously looked after my sensitive skin and was delighted to be chosen by Oil of Ulay in 1980 to appear in their TV ads. I was 40 years old.
Strengthen Your Bones
We know that it’s a natural process for women and men to lose some density from bone after the age of 35. Research has shown that through regular, weight bearing exercise it is possible to prevent some of the dramatic loss often occurring in women over 50, largely due to the fall in levels of the female hormone oestrogen at the time of the menopause or earlier if there has been a premature menopause brought about by hysterectomy. Genetic inheritance and other factors can also contribute to bone loss.
Keep Young And Beautiful
Age is but a number. But how to keep young and beautiful – that’s the challenge! I’m a single independent woman, physically, mentally and sexually active and love the challenge modern life now offers mature women. Many people do age well and still have strong bodies because they’ve looked after their health. Health is like an insurance policy, the earlier you invest the more you’ll have to support you later on. Every day whether or not we like it or not we get that little bit older, ageing is inevitable. We can’t control quantity – but can improve quality!
Menopause And Hrt
For most women the menopause starts between the ages of 45 and 55 when the ovaries begin to produce less oestrogen. For some women this hormonal imbalance can result in symptoms such as hot flushes, irritability, anxiety and poor concentration. The menopause is a normal stage in a woman’s life and it isn’t an illness, having said that we all know for a fact and through personal experience, that some women do have very real problems and need help, whilst others get through the changes easily.
