I read a theory by some evolutionary biologist that the reason human females experience menopause (other primates don't) is so they are available to care for grandchildren.
I just turned 56 (!!) and know I look young for my age. I exercise a lot and am just lucky to have few wrinkles and no grey hairs. I had gained a lot of weight from psych meds and looked older, so maybe just having lost the weight and re-initiated a sexual relationship with my husband (who hated me fat) has made me feel younger than I am, or at least made me feel that I have gotten better, not worse.
