‘Leading a healthy #lifestyle could give women an extra 10 years of good health – 7 for men. If we’re searching for ways to shorten the amount of time we spend in ill #health in old #age, our everyday lives should be the first place we look to make change’ https://t.co/cL8w2qDi5a

The hunt for a 'cure' for ageing is looking more promising than ever. But can we really slow down the ageing process?

Recent figures from the ONS show that workers aged 65 and older will be responsible for more than half of all UK employment growth over the next 10 years and almost two-thirds of employment growth by 2060. https://t.co/1nyJctEQc7

Applies to @pcworld @BandQ @johnlewis @Debenhams @IKEAUK Older people are your new market! Time to shop, money to spend and enjoying being out and about Invite us in! Seats, loos, shorter distances or little electric cars to move us,maybe linked to transport hubs + Fun Activity!
#M&S But not so #AgeFriendly are you? Huge store but the only seat rest spots are the cafe and furniture section Have you ever considered what your many older customers need? A sit down or go home... Rethink needed?

#Business #Retail #NewMarket #AgeFriendly Something wrong? Retailers failing whilst the new big older market is complaining that distances are too great, lack of seating, not enough loos and they can no longer have a good day out shopping! Have they thought to ask us? #AgeProud

If you were rushed into hospital, how much would they know about you? Ask your GP about adding information to your Summary Care Record. Adding more information means health and care staff can make better decisions about you https://t.co/dJPlpXeJix

Fed up of repeating yourself? Ask your GP to add additional information to your Summary Care Record allowing other appropriate health professionals to be able to see much more about you! https://t.co/dJPlpXeJix

Yes they are! The public face of a whole new amazing generation. Meeting 80 year olds everywhere now, living busy active lives, getting married, travelling, volunteering, finding fresh interests and a surprising no still working! Like these. #AgeProud people and rightly so.
Judi Dench is 85 today. Maggie Smith is 85 this month. Eileen Atkins is 85. Sheila Hancock is 86. And then there’s Glenda Jackson & Vanessa Redgrave. What a generation! What amazing role models they all are.
