I found this article about ageism from the New York Post. Based on stereotypes, ageism is treating someone unfairly because of their age. Also known as age discrimination.
There are 206 comments at the end of this timely piece. Older adults discuss how difficult it is finding employment in spite of their qualifications, and the different work ethic between the older and younger generation.
Everyone is going to face older age at some point. When we discriminate against the 65+ population, we are doing it to our older selves, unless things change.
One way is to improve your health by imagining yourself at 65 or 70 and beyond. How do you want to look and feel when you get there?
Disability and frailty aren’t a part of aging. Be proactive. Change your image and health through regular exercise and superior nutrition.
