Can you prevent ageing?

A healthy lifestyle can help you feel younger and fitter for longer. Even people in their 90s can improve their muscle strength through regular exercise. Most research on ageing aims to improve our health and quality of life as we grow old, not make us live forever. Scientists are looking for ways to avoid, or even repair, the damage that causes ageing.

A healthy diet and exercise can help you to live longer.
