Ed Wynn Quotes

I am in control of how I age, and I am in control of my health.

I'm partly obsessed by aging gracefully.

I have been asked how I grow old so easily. The answer is: I give all my time to it.

I have always said, '40 is the new 20,' and I truly believe that, but it for sure takes a lot of hard work, education, and discipline to keep it all together as we make our way to 50 and beyond.

People have always told me I look young for my age... and I think it's because I've always taken care of myself.

There is an anti-aging possibility, but it has to come from within.

The way you think, the way you behave, the way you eat, can influence your life by 30 to 50 years.

I love being an advocate for women as we get older so that we can feel comfortable with ourselves. It's all about being healthy for me now.

I think women should start to embrace their age. What's the alternative to getting older? You die. I can't change the day I was born. But I can take care of my skin, my body, my mind, and try to live my life and be happy.

My grandfather lived to be late 90s on one side and on the other side, 70s or something. And my father died young, at 63. But he didn't take very good care of himself.

I've aged well because I've had to take care of myself.

We all want to look younger, become stronger and healthier and live longer.

Because I take care of my body, it doesn't look like the body of a woman of my years.

You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old.

Youth is a lifestyle; it's not a blessing from God. If we treat our bodies as if they are not the most precious things we possess, then obviously we will show wear and tear. We're like a good pair of jeans. If we take care of them, they'll remain classic forever, but if we batter and abuse them they'll look like tattered old rags.

I think that age as a number is not nearly as important as health. You can be in poor health and be pretty miserable at 40 or 50. If you're in good health, you can enjoy things into your 80s.

The biggest myth about aging is that we can't do anything about it. That it's a road to being decrepit, frail, and sick.

A man ninety years old was asked to what he attributed his longevity. I reckon, he said, with a twinkle in his eye, it because most nights I went to bed and slept when I should have sat up and worried.

I think you have to relax about aging. What else can you do?

Regardless of your age, you can make better choices in the moment. Small decisions - about how you eat, move, and sleep each day - count more than you think. As I have learned from personal experience, these choices shape your life.

I turned 65 last year, and each year I get more and more interested in human health. For most people it happens around age 50, but I've always been a slow learner. It's critical in terms of the cost of health care.

To be honest, I am completely natural. I have nothing in my face or anything. I wear sunscreen, and I don't smoke. I take care of myself and I'm very proud to say that.

How do I keep young? Haven't you heard? I sleep every night in the deep freezer!

At my age, my greatest satisfaction is being able to maintain good health.

When we understand the connection between how we live and how long we live, it's easier to make different choices. Instead of viewing the time we spend with friends and family as luxuries, we can see that these relationships are among the most powerful determinants of our well-being and survival.
