In a world full of people obsessed with retaining their youth, sometimes we need a reminder of what it means to actually age gracefully. Growing old is as natural a process as it gets, and following a simple healthy lifestyle goes a long way in doing it well.<\/p>\n

Content creator Jayachandran Tamilarasan highlighted the same on August 29, 2025, when he shared a video of an active 67-year-old homemaker from Chennai on Instagram and asked her about her fitness routine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Exercise is the key to good health<\/p>\n

The body weakens with age; that is simple biology. However, we can retain our functional strength and capabilities and maintain good health by training our bodies with regular exercise. For the homemaker in her late 60s, that means waking up early and ensuring an active start to her day.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wake up between 5:30 am and 5:45 am, finish up housework, and start with yoga. At 7:30 am, I go to the park and just keep walking,” she said and highlighted that simply walking is not enough to stay healthy \u2013 strength training<\/a> and eating healthy are just as important.<\/p>\n

Getting sufficient protein and fasting twice a week<\/p>\n

The homemaker’s regular diet comprises simple Indian food \u2013 not an overdose of supplements. She avoids anything solid for breakfast and only drinks buttermilk first thing in the morning. It is the afternoon meal that is heavy and provides her with the necessary nutrients, especially protein.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the afternoon, I have a very good meal that includes chicken, mutton, or eggs for protein. There is no diet in particular that I follow,\u201d she shared. Between 5 pm and 6 pm, she indulges in a cup of tea or coffee, and when she gets hungry in between meals, she helps herself to any fruit of her choice.<\/p>\n

However, she did reveal that she fasts twice a week, saying, \u201cOn Tuesdays and Saturdays, fasting is a must.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her message for the public<\/p>\n

As a fit woman, the homeowner is an inspiration. When asked about her message for the people watching her video, she noted that eating right and exercising well are important for maintaining good health. However, what one needs to focus more on is their mental health.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeace and happiness at home, that is the main thing,\u201d shared the woman. \u201cWe should eliminate stress. Stress is like garbage in the mind. It is important not to hold on to the stuff but take life as it comes,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
