As he glances into a mirror a fortyish man may not think he looks so good but to many people he is now at his most attractive with an indefinable element of sophisticated maturity. Unless something has gone dramatically wrong or his equilibrium is irrevocably shaken by the male-menopause, he will as yet only be just slightly off-peak in condition and whatever signs of decline he may spot they will be nothing he cannot handle.
For the record, true signs of aging are visible from about the fiftieth birthday onwards. To slow their approach: exercise for a firmer body, stronger heart, better circulation and healthy lungs; diet by eating sensibly and cutting out fats; give up tobacco (a cigarette smoker is likely to live ten years less than a non-smoker); drink only moderate amounts of alcohol (more than five drinks a day is not considered moderate but heavy). And if you are a sun-worshipper, use suncreams. The sun’s ultraviolet rays dry out and stiffen the skin often making it blotchy with age spots. Leading cosmeticians claim that unless he is a nudist the best skin on a man of sixty is on his buttocks where the sun never sets.
