As Bette Davis famously said, "Old age ain't no place for sissies."
Along with white hair and wisdom come the aches and pains of
deteriorating biological systems. Fortunately, the National Institute
on Aging has a mission to "discover what may contribute to a healthy old
age as well as to understand and address the disease and disability
sometimes associated with growing older." Its site offers health advice
and news, statistics, and information about things such as clinical
trials:

You can fight the Grim
Reaper by staying informed, and always keep in mind Maurice Chevalier's
observation that "Old age isn't so bad when you consider the
alternative."
