Shattering Stereotypes
by Kerry Cue
Looking for a quote to head this post about 63 – year – old New Yorker, Lyn Slater, Associate Professor and Style Icon, I couldn’t find one that fitted the bill. So I made one up. Her Accidental Icon Instagram account has 100,000 followers! Her Accidental Icon blog is equally fascinating.
Style does not depend on age. Look at the images of Lyn (below) taken from her Instagram account. Confidence and flair seem to sum up the impact of her fashion style. May there be more like her.
The Sibyls
An encouraging article for mature-age readers was pubished in the New York Times this week. The Best Exercise for Aging Muscles (Gretchen Reynolds, 23 March, 2017) reported on research showed that ‘decline in the cellular health of muscles associated with aging was “corrected” with exercise, especially if it was intense’ according to Dr. Sreekumaran Nair, a professor of medicine and an endocrinologist at the Mayo Clinic.
This research highlights one simple message for those in the mature years. GET MOVING.
