When we grow older?

Someone asked a question that got me thinking. He said as we grow older, do people tend to complain more about their health, or is it that they are simply paying more attention to it now as they grow older. What's your take on this?

Well, I am thinking of one person in particular here who seems to do nothing but complain, and they are on the older side. Then again, I also think of someone here near my own age, and all they seem to do too, is complain! It seems to be a shared problem. Some people are just whiners!

We have more issues when we age. Lots of jokes about it (“my back goes out more than I do anymore” ). I try not to “complain” because I don’t have a lot to complain about. I have to take five pills a day. There are people half my age who have to take three times that many pills, three times a day! Maybe talking about maladies is the senior citizen version of talking about the weather.

In our retirement village we spend a lot of time talking about health. Sometimes someone will say 'That's enough about our illnesses, no more talking about health'.

I think people tend to be more keen on their health patterns which inturn increases their worries

I think i fall into this category, now that i am growing older i am more attentive to my health and tend to complain sometimes.

One thing I know we battle with as we age is our health. I guess that's why people complain. At this stage, we just need to be careful of the things we consume

True though, as we grow older our bodies are no longer like they used to be.
