SUGGEST AVOIDING EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE TO BLUE LIGHT FROM PHONES, COMPUTERS AND TVS IS
BEST.
>> AGING IS A TRANSITION, BUT
A NEW STUDY FOUND THAT THE
ANXIETY SURROUNDING AGING IS
RISING. AARP FOUND THAT 61% OF
ADULTS OLDER THAN 50 SAY THEY
HAVE EXPERIENCED SOME LEVEL OF
ANXIETY IN THE PAST YEAR.
POLITICS AND PERSONAL
CHALLENGES ALL PLAY A ROLE,
THINGS WE’RE ALL DEALING WITH
TV PERSONALITY AND AUTHOR KIM
DOUGLAS JOINS US LIVE VIA ZOOM
THIS MORNING. AND KIM
SEPTEMBER IS HEALTHY AGING
MONTH. SO LET’S TALK ABOUT
THIS. SOME COMPONENTS THAT WE
CAN ALL WORK IN AS WE’RE
FOCUSING ON BEING GREAT AT ANY
AGE.
>> ABSOLUTELY. YOU KNOW, IT
JUST IS NOT YOUR GRANDMOTHER
OR GRANDFATHERS. AARP OR OVER
50 ANYMORE. IT REALLY IS. AND
THAT WAS A VERY DIFFERENT
MINDSET. BACK THEN. I WANT TO
JUST THROW OUT YOU TO GET IN A
VISUALIZATION OF WHAT IT IS J
LO.
>> HOW WE
>> JANE FONDA, GEORGE CLOONEY,
MICHELLE THERE ARE SO MANY
WONDERFUL PEOPLE THAT ARE OVER
50 THAT ARE JUST REWRITING THE
SCRIPT ON AGING AND HOW GREAT
WE CAN FEEL. AND, LOOK,
UNDERSTAND THAT THAT WHOLE
ANXIETY THING THAT THE STUDY
SHOWED. LISTEN, I’M IN
HOLLYWOOD, FOR GOODNESS SAKE
AND I’M OVER 50. IT’S ALMOST
LIKE A DEATH WISH FROM THE
PAST, BUT NOT ANY MORE PEOPLE
ARE PIVOTING CHANGING AND THE
NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT ARE OVER
50, I WANT TO SEE MYSELF. I A
GIRL. 22 SELLING THE UNDER EYE
CREAM AND TO GET RID OF
WRINKLES. I-20.
>> YOU DON’T HAVE YOU DO. I
KNOW. I’M GOING TO SAY THIS
BECAUSE I THINK TO YOUR POINT,
YOU KNOW, AS WE ALL ARE AGING,
WE’RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHERE DO WE FIT IN? AND A LOT
OF THE PEOPLE YOU JUST NAMED.
I MEAN, GOSH, THEY’RE
BEAUTIFUL. THEY’RE THE EPITOME
OF THIS AND THAT. BUT WE CAN
ALL DO SOME THINGS TO REALLY
MAKE SURE THAT OUR MENTAL
HEALTH IS IN CHECK AND THAT
PHYSICALLY WORD. WE’RE TAKING
THE STEPS TO IMPROVE OUR
HEALTH.
>> EXACTLY. AND I HAVE ABOUT 3
OR 4. THOSE MAY ISSUE THEM
WITH YOU YES. WELL, THE FIRST
ONE WOULD BE MAKE SURE THAT
YOUR HEALTH IS ALL IN CHECK
BECAUSE ONCE YOU KNOW YOUR
GOOD, THEN YOU CAN MOVE
FORWARD AND BE THE BEST YOU
CAN BE. SO MAKE SURE YOUR
DOCTOR’S APPOINTMENTS ARE UP
TO DATE. HAVE YOU AND YOUR
MOST RECENT CHECKUPS AND THE
GUN DO YOU KNOW THAT
EVERYTHING IS IN ORDER? YOUR
PRESCRIPTIONS? HAVE YOU GOT
THOSE ALL IN ORDER FOR THE UP
TO DATE IS ANYTHING EXPIRED.
AS LONG AS YOU’RE DOING GOOD
ON THERE, THEN YOU’RE FINE TO
GO. NOW THE NEXT THING WOULD
BE, BELIEVE IT OR NOT. MANY OF
US FORGET OR DON’T DO I CHECK
UP SO YOU WANT TO GO GET YOUR
EYES CHECKED BECAUSE A DOCTOR
CAN GIVE YOU AN EYE EXAM THAT
SOMETIMES CAN EVEN SEE IF YOU
HAVE DIABETES OR I HAPPEN TO
LOVE GETTING WILD AND GLASSES.
THESE ARE ONLINE. NOTHING. NO
BRAND. BUT YOU KNOW, THEY’RE
AVIATORS. THEY MAKE ME FEEL
LIKE I’M SURE AND WE MIGHT
ENTER VERA FOSSETT THEIR PINK.
SO I LOOKED THROUGH LIFE OF.
>> I ABSOLUTELY. AND MANY
PEOPLE ARE LIKE, OH, MAN, I
REALLY DON’T THINK I WANT TO
GO SPEND THIS KIND OF MONEY. I
DON’T WANT TO DO THIS. BUT,
YOU KNOW, AS YOU SAID EARLIER
IN THE TOP OF OUR INTERVIEW ON
AARP IS A GREAT WAY TO JOIN
AARP. BECOME A A DISCOUNT ON
ALL OF YOUR EYEGLASSES. YOUR
FRAMES, YOUR LENSES. THIS IS
ALL THROUGH OPTIMUM OR ACTS.
AND THOSE ARE REALLY GREAT
WAYS TO THE DISCOUNT, BUT ALSO
MAKE SURE YOU’RE TAKING CARE
OF YOURSELF. THE 3RD THING YOU
CAN DO IS HOW ABOUT SCHEDULING
A TRIP? YOU KNOW, MANY OF PUT
THOSE OFF MAKING A TRIP OR
MAKE AN INEXPERIENCED HAVE
SOMETHING YOU’RE LOOKING
FORWARD AND YOU KNOW, THAT
STUDY SHOW THAT JUST PLANNING
A TRIP OR A NEW EXPERIENCE
INCREASES YOUR HAPPINESS
HORMONES. AND YOU’VE GOT
SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO.
THIS IS WARNING DOING, YOU
KNOW, SITTING TALKING ABOUT
WHEN WE TELL YOU ABOUT MY
SHOULDER RIGHT, RIGHT?
>> LET’S TALK ABOUT WHAT WE
HAVE GOING. I’M GOING ON THIS
HIGH WITH THE GIRLS. I’M
TAKING THIS NEW TRIP BECAUSE
OF MY BOOK CLUB. I LOVE A
BLOCK WITH EVERY IS MAKE SURE
YOU HAVE SOMETHING NEW THAT
YOU CAN INVEST IN YOURSELF.
AND SPEAKING OF THAT, THE LAST
TIP IS PAMPER. YOU TAKE TIME
FOR SELF-CARE. IT CAN BE AS
SIMPLE AS SCHEDULING YOUR
BUBBLE BATH WITH YOUR BATH
SALTS AND YOUR BUBBLES AND YOU
GET IT AND YOU HAVE YOUR BOOK
AND YOU JUST REBOOT YOURSELF
OR TAKE THAT WALK EVERY DAY
YOUR 20 MINUTES. YOU’RE
INVESTING IN YEAR EVER. YOUR
THING IS INVESTING YOU YOU’RE
WORTH IT. AND YOU CAN’T POUR
FROM IN THE WAY MEN CAN YOU
GOT. AND I’M TELLING YOU, THE
YOUNGER GENERATION, THEY GET
THIS BECAUSE THEY’RE ALL ABOUT
EXPERIENCES. BUT WE SIT HERE
WHAT ABOUT OUR STUFF AND OUR
SCHEDULES. BUT
>> WE NEED TO ADOPT SOME OF
THOSE PRINCIPLES DEFINITELY TO
