Too Young to get Old | walksinauckland.com

Christine Webber  writer, broadcaster and psychotherapist,  has written a new book ‘Too Young to get old’ – the baby boomers guide to living life to the full.

Fabafterfifty asked Christine about her own experience of life after 50, and her inspiration behind the book. 

Christine says “A lot of women are not as fit as they perhaps ought to be. I was appalled when I found out that baby boomers are the most out-of-shape of all generations. I thought there must be some error in the statistics! After all, we weren’t reared on junk food, and we learned to cook properly – and take-aways when we were young were limited to the occasional treat of fish and chips. But unfortunately, the stats were correct: 69% of female baby boomers are overweight. Clearly this is a worry. Being heavy can lead to the sort of illnesses (diabetes, some cancers, heart disease, joint problems) we all want to avoid if we are to live long and prosper. The other thing I learned – and I am by no means a financial expert – was that far too many of us haven’t really saved enough. And I think I’m probably one of them.” Read the full interview at Fabafterfifty .

Helen says – if live in Auckland or are visiting Auckland, and you want to get inspired to get in-shape by  walking, visit Walks in Auckland and choose a short walk!
