Soulful wishes for 80th birthday- What it means to celebrate an octogenarian

It is no longer a rare occurrence to reach the age of 80. For a variety of causes, an increasing number of people are achieving the age of eight without breaking a sweat. Many of them are still working, learning new skills, and participating in busy social lives — in other words, they are not acting their age.

Even so, an 80th birthday is a significant milestone. If you know someone who is celebrating this significant birthday, a simple “Happy Birthday” will not be enough. Here’s a selection of 80th birthday greetings for the newly minted octogenarian in your life to help you pick a message that fits the occasion.

It’s time to throw out all you thought you knew about ageing:

Your stamina will dwindle. Certainly not.

You’ll gain weight. Avoidable.

You’ll become slower and weaker as time goes on. So easily avoidable.

That isn’t just a wishful thought. Exercising can help you stay youthful for longer, according to scientific evidence. According to a 2011 study, older professional runners, bikers, and swimmers have considerably greater muscle mass than their inactive counterparts—meaning you don’t lose muscle mass when you use it. Telomeres—chromosomes’ protective end caps that are a major sign of cellular aging—were also discovered by Brigham Young University researchers.

Here are 4 athletes over the age of 80 and their inspiring stories.
