Does old age fill you with dread? What about dying - how do you feel about that? Why do some of us live longer than others? What does the latest science teach us that will help us not only live longer lives but also to live fitter, healthier, and happier lives even in our ‘twilight’ years?
Well, this week my guest has all the answers where ageing is concerned - she’s Professor Rose Anne Kenny, who has 35 years of experience at the forefront of ageing medicine.
She is a professor of Medical Gerontology at Trinity College Dublin, director of the Mercer’s Institute for Successful Ageing and founding principal investigator for the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing. Her book Age Proof - The New Science of Living a Longer and Healthier Life - draws on her own pioneering research and she’s in Dubai at the Emirates Literature Festival leading discussions on a life well lived.
As you would expect, Professor Rose is an absolute goldmine of information when it comes to ageing and we had such an enlightening conversation about everything from misconceptions about ageing to loneliness and we also discussed how purpose plays a huge part in how we age.
80% of our ageing is under our control and a positive attitude is scientifically proven to help us age well. I loved how much science and data Professor Rose brought to the table, along with a healthy dose of practicality and useful tips.
Please enjoy our conversation.
