Is he acting strange? Blame it on midlife crisis

We may console ourselves that age is just a number until our knees start to lose elasticity and we struggle to manoeuvre our way up and down the stairs. The flat tummy we took for granted is gradually replaced by an annoyingly stubborn bulge.

While the only reason we had not been exercising was procrastination, suddenly we realise that it will now take effort to even jog around the estate. They told us life begins at 40 but it is also in our 40s that those silver hairs start sneaking into our once jet black hair. The lifestyle diseases that our bodies were somehow able to combat start creeping in with doctors warning us to watch our sugar and alcohol intake- our journey towards frailty quickens with every successive year.
