62-year-old dons bikini to hit back at ‘ageism’: ‘I look better at 62 than I did at 30!’
- Replies 19
Age should never be a barrier to what an ambitious and determined person can do.
But some still believe that with ageing comes restrictions. This 62-year-old woman has made it her mission to prove the naysayers wrong.
Renee Gould Is a Canadian woman who claims she feels better now than when she was 30, and often flaunts photos of herself striking a pose and strutting her stuff to her TikTok account.
However, her willingness to show off her body online has been criticised by many online. For every positive comment, she has also battled critics who say that she's ‘too old’.
Still, the 62-year-old ‘longevity seeker’ wants to remind everyone that age should not dictate what a person can or cannot do.
In one of the videos she posted on the platform, Renee addressed the hate comments she received while wearing a bikini.
‘At 62, I still wear a bikini in spite of negative comments,’ she captioned the video. This clip was positively received by many social media users, who agreed with her and said that she looked ‘great’ and ‘absolutely gorgeous’.
‘You are absolutely stunning, don’t let anyone tell you differently,’ one stated.
While someone else said that Renee should always be proud to show off who she is. ‘We only get one shot at this life – make it count!’ They added.
You can watch her video below:
According to Renee, exercising regularly and following a strict vegan diet are her secrets to looking and feeling young.
In another video, Renee claimed that ‘age is not an excuse’ to stop exercising. The clip showed her running at the beach in a bright red bikini:
Many of her viewers sent her their love, with some saying she is ‘an inspiration’ to everyone.
‘Looking great, beautiful!’ One wrote.
While another said that the video she uploaded reminded them of the hit show, Baywatch.
‘Easier said than done. Lifestyle, family, and work play a role in it. But yes, we need to keep moving,’ someone else commented.
But it’s not just Renee that’s defying the stereotypes regarding age and beauty. Dr Mark Hyman, a 63-year-old longevity doctor, claimed that his body is biologically 20 years younger than his actual age. He also revealed his secrets to staying and looking youthful.
In a post he shared on Instagram, the doctor shared his ‘core longevity principles’.
He captioned: ‘Increasing lifespan and healthspan are not just about treating disease but about building long-term resilience and vitality. Some say if you live longer, you will spend more time with chronic disease and disability, increasing the burden on society and our health care system. This isn’t true.’
He declared that simple daily habits hold the key to longevity potential.
First, he said to avoid ultra-processed foods. ‘Dysfunctional nutrient-sensing pathways are the most critical hallmark of ageing. Food is the key to either harm (with our modern diet) or optimise these pathways,’ he added.
Next is to get quality sleep. To improve your sleep, stick to a sleep schedule, avoid screens before bed, and create a dark and quiet atmosphere. If you want to curate your own bedtime routine, we have got you covered.
Exercising, specifically, strength training is the next piece of advice Dr Hyman gave. He said that preserving, building and optimising muscle function are ‘the keys to the fountain of youth’.
Next is to build a community or find your purpose. ‘The most powerful way to stay healthy and connect to your purpose is to be part of some type of community,’ he said. A psychologist also supports this claim and says that friendship and other social relationships are important to human beings. You can read more details here.
Lastly, Dr Hyman said that chronic stress creates an increased risk of contracting chronic diseases. So, it’s important to regularly practise stress management. Try guided meditations or keep a journal and write down your deepest feelings.
So, what do you think, members? Does age limit what you can or cannot do? Are these two ‘longevity influencers’ onto something? Tell us all about it in the comments below!
