We age in 2 main ways: our bodies and our minds.

Our bodies start to deteriorate at 18, starting with our skin, then at 30 our lungs, at 40 our muscles and eyes, at 50 our kidneys, at 60 our hearing and internal organs, and at age 70 our brain. But how we live affects aging, from what we eat to whether we avoid stress, air pollution, and noise.

Aging affects physical aspects such as…

  • muscle mass, slowing our movements and creating a risk of fractures
  • vision, which can get blurred, need more light, fail to distinguish purple, blue, and green, and might suffer glaucoma or cataracts
  • hearing, so we can’t follow conversations amid background noise, affecting men faster than women
  • lungs, resulting in fatigue
  • skin, with wrinkles and easy bruising
  • kidneys, affecting blood pressure through hormonal changes
  • brain, affecting perception, memory, analytical thinking, and calculation

We complain more and sleep worse. We wake up tired and can’t concentrate or remember well. Our bodies suffer from reduced muscles, osteoporosis, fatigue, heat and cold, body aches for no reason. We can also get depressed…

But we can change how we age when we know the problems that are coming. We can adjust our lifestyles by taking exercise, eating nutritious food, and having regular health checks.

Home design and services at 50+ play a crucial role in keeping us healthy, happy, and independent…

  • Doors should be wide enough for emergencies
  • Emergency buttons can protect us in areas like bathrooms and bedrooms
  • Level, non-slip flooring can prevent slips and falls
  • The area around the home should be shaded by trees and good for relaxing in

The Aspen Tree also has a Health & Brain Center where specialists can boost your well-being. Because we want our residents to live life to the full. That’s why we’re Thailand's first "aging-in-place" community for healthy, happy, independent living at 50+
