If you want to be incredibly vain, sure.

You clearly haven't hit 50 yet. Many mornings when I wake up my back is so stiff I can barely stand. A bit of yoga stretching has me operational again, but too much stress through the day can make my knee pretty sore, too.

So no, it's not all about vanity.

At 37 I'm already beginning to feel it. I have to be careful with my back lest it decide to punish me (backs are quick to strain/injure and very slow to heal). Also, my knees no longer permit me to run more than about 3 times a week and I have to watch my diet closely because everything gives me reflux.

Not looking forward to 50 :( Unfortunately, like fusion power, the cure for aging seems to be perpetually "20 years away."
