5. Myth: You have fragile bones and your posture bends
There are some certain conditions the risk of which increases with age. However, the good news is that most of the health issues that older people suffer from can be prevented. Osteoporosis is not something you will have when you reach the age of 60. Watch your diet and take supplements to protect your joints and bones. Make your body healthy by adjusting your current diet. Do exercise and you’ll have no issues.

6. Myth: Your brain inevitably shrinks with age
It was believed that the part of the human brain responsible for memory was smaller in people over 50 years old. However, Dr. Lupien disagreed with this conclusion. She decided to carry out some more research on the hippocampus. The scientist revealed that what makes this part of the brain smaller is chronic stress and tension. Instead of being afraid of your age, try to learn some meditation and breathing techniques to help you deal with stress and your brain or, to be more exact, your hippocampus will not shrink and your memory will be as good as that typical of people at their 30’s.
