Society isn’t built for aging populations—but that’s beginning to change.

Life once followed a familiar pattern. You’d go to school, get a job, build a family, and then, sometime in your sixties, retire, enjoying life for a few years until you grew too frail to live on your own. Then you might move in with family or check into a facility where you’d spend your “golden years.”

A crucial part of that blueprint was a universal assumption: that for the majority of people, life would not extend far beyond their 70s. That was based on the average lifespan at the time and underpinned everything. But today, life expectancy in the U.S. stands at 79 years, compared to 68 in 1950. The upshot: 60 million Americans are now aged 65 or older. A similar trend is playing out globally.

It is a sea change—and one that raises big questions about how we both individually and collectively navigate what, in a sense, is our new old age. How, for example, should we spend our extra time? Should employment still be confined to a finite number of years, or instead ebb and flow throughout an entire lifetime? And where, in a world of acute housing shortages, will everyone live?

“We have to re-engineer our society,” says John Rowe, professor of health policy and aging at Columbia University’s Aging Center.

Cynthia Erivo has called out people for commenting on her and Ariana Grande's bodies 👏

Speaking to USA Today, Cynthia said: "In today’s society, there’s a degree of ease involved in commenting on others. Their looks, what people think might be going on behind the scenes, their health...[it's] really dangerous for all parties involved."

Reflecting on what people say about her, the Wicked star added: "I’ve heard it all, every version of what’s wrong with me. When I fix it, then it’s wrong for different reasons.

"Whatever the world says, it doesn't really matter, because the important thing is how we feel about ourselves."

🍎 When Food Mirrors the Body — And Helps It Too!
🥑 Avocado — Uterus
This creamy fruit is packed with folate and healthy fats that naturally support reproductive balance and hormone health.
🥕 Carrot — Eyes
Cut a carrot and you’ll spot a perfect little “iris.” Its beta-carotene converts into vitamin A, essential for sharp, healthy vision.
🌰 Walnut — Brain
The folds and halves look just like a tiny brain — and they’re no coincidence. Walnuts are rich in omega-3s that nourish memory and focus.
🫘 Kidney Bean — Kidneys
Shaped just like the organ they’re named after, kidney beans help support filtration, hydration balance, and healthy blood pressure.
🌿 Celery — Bones
Long, firm stalks that resemble our skeletal structure — and they deliver minerals like calcium and silicon that help keep bones strong.
🍅 Tomato — Heart
Slice one open and the chambers resemble a heart. Lycopene in tomatoes is known to support healthy cardiovascular function.
🍠 Sweet Potato — Pancreas
Its shape mirrors the pancreas, and its slow-release carbs help stabilize blood sugar in a gentle, natural way.
🍄 Mushroom — Ear
Cut mushrooms show a shape similar to the ear canal — and their vitamin D content helps protect the tiny bones inside your ears.
🌿 Ginger — Stomach
This root looks like a curled stomach and is famous for soothing nausea, calming digestion, and easing bloating.
✨ Nature has its own way of hinting at what each food is good for — you just have to look closely.
