@the.living.room.pod: The greatest gift you can give your parents is to help them build a suit of armor against the signatures of aging. Give them the tools and support they need, and help them understand what's possible. And do it with urgency. Because here's what's coming for all of us: a significant drop in both physical and cognitive function in the later years of life. Not some of us. Not most of us. Every single one of us — one hundred percent of the time. The window to get ahead of that decline is upstream of frailty and weakness. And for the people we love most, helping them build resilience before that decline sets in may be the most meaningful thing we can do. It starts with helping them understand two things: that they have agency, and that it's never too late to begin.
