Old age and the Joy it brings
Do you belong to the group of people that doesn't want to grow old?
In life every one of us would definitely get old one day as long as we keep living. In all my life I have always prayed for long life and good health, which means I have the belief that I would become old one day. If I am praying for a long life, I can't escape growing old, which I am not in the category of the group of people that doesn't want to grow old.

What are you doing to stay healthy during old age
The things that I am doing to stay healthy are as follows:
I am eating well.
I am staying active.

I am going for checkups often.
At what age can we call someone an old person.
There is no age at which we can call someone an old person, but someone who is 70 years old can be called an old person. However, many people consider someone who is 65 years and above as an old person, which biologically some people consider someone who is 70 years old.
