Is 70 an old age?

Published by

I am a 70-year-old man but I don’t consider myself old. I still enjoy driving long distances and going for long walks. Although my family members refer to me as ‘old’, but I don’t consider myself an old man. Kindly let me know what age is considered as being old.

‘’70’’ is certainly an elderly age. However, this does not mean that you can’t still enjoy some of the things you used to enjoy before. As long as you are in good health and you eat good food, you will continue to remain fine for years to come.
