I think George Bernard Shaw was onto something when he declared "we don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing." It's long been my opinion that many of us ‘get old before we need to' simply because we stop doing things which can help us maintain a level of physiological, psychological and cognitive function and performance 'younger' than our chronological age. In this episode, I share ten simple activities that require little or no skill, fitness, equipment or experience. Activities that, if done consistently (that's the all-important 'if'), can keep people more functional, healthy and independent for longer. Enjoy.
