Dame Helen Mirren, 79, urges people in midlife not to 'fear' ageing as she encourages them to embrace exercise as part of new campaign
Dame Helen Mirren has told people in midlife not to 'fear' ageing as she encouraged them to embrace exercise.
England's chief medical officer Professor Sir Chris Whitty said keeping fit in midlife is one of the 'main preventive strategies' for staying healthy in older age. Sir Chris said his 2023 report 'included evidence demonstrating the beneficial effects of exercise, proposing that this should be one of our main preventive strategies for maintaining health into older age and for counteracting frailty-related physical impairment'. Loose Women star Denise Welch, who is also an Age UK ambassador, said: 'I've seen first hand how tough life can be as we get older, and while there are some things that are always going to be out of our control, I'm a firm believer in the positive impact small changes in midlife can have on the quality of our later years.'
