• People who have not used eyeglasses before may at some time in their forties need them for reading, and in the fifties they usually need bifocals.
  
  
• At a higher age, people are likely to put on weight because there is a general slowdown in the oxidation rate of the aging body tissue and because they tend to do less strenuous work with no reduction in the amount of food consumed.
  
  
• In the fifties, some loss of hearing is likely to be noticed. Usually the high-pitched tones go first, so words with the sounds of F, S, and TH get confused. A hearing aid may be needed in some cases. You may also find it difficult to follow conversations that take place in a group of people. If you are experiencing loss of hearing, it can be increasingly difficult to distinguish between what had been said by an individual participant of the conversation. If more people speak at the same time, the words can sound rather “blurry” and unclear. More often than not, individually adjusted hearing-aids can improve the situation greatly.
  
  
• Aging is generally accompanied by a loss in physical and mental flexibility. This is noticed in a tendency to become stiff in the joints; in slower comeback after a strenuous trip, excessive "night life," or hard work; in slower healing of wounds, sore muscles, and strains or in a slower recovery after an illness and sometimes in greater difficulty to adjust to new people, new places, and new ideas.
  
  
• Men, especially, will notice loss of muscular strength. There will be increased unsteadiness and delicate muscle movements will be more clumsy and the stride in waking will become shorter. The conclusion now is that the performance and ability of the elderly has long been underestimated and can be greatly improved by a proper diet, sleep and exercise along with rest and relaxation.
  
  
• Many elderly people tend to lose their joy and will to live and chronic worriers may mope around and withdraw. Medical authorities now say that laughter is one of the best medicines for the elderly. You can always keep your sense of humor tuned up by surrounding yourself with pleasant and interesting people. Just act your age and don't be afraid to laugh at yourself even when no else is around.
