Gardening, eating a varied diet, and dressing how they like are some of the top things over-65s do – in order to maintain their independence as they get older, a study has found.
Other ways the older generation stay feeling youthful include keeping in touch with old friends, using Facebook or Instagram, watching new TV shows, and doing Sudoku or crossword puzzles.
And the poll of 2,000 adults, who have reached their seventh decade, revealed that nearly three-quarters (73%) feel years younger than they are thanks to such activities – with people typically not feeling “old” until they turn 63.
