Ageing is really just a number. Today it is very common to hear stories of those above 50s or even 60s going back to school for a degree or even looking towards climbing a mountain or doing a triathlon. To celebrate the ever- evolving mature generation, there are two bi-monthly magazines in Singapore called PRIME and its Chinese version, GAO FENG, that give tribute to those over 45 years of age and at the same time, help men and women in that age group to age gracefully. These magazines are the only ones currently available for this special age group. Divided into four sections -- health, wealth, nutrition and leisure, the pages of the magazines are a testament that the old are not useless and some of them can certainly run rings around the younger generation!

So besides the usual advice on successful ageing such as practicing good nutrition, regular exercise, going for yearly health checkups, quit smoking, go away for a holiday, doing volunteer work and maintaining a strong social support, grab your issue of PRIME/GAO FENG and gain insight on enjoying your prime years!

The magazines were introduced in mid-2006 and are sold at all major bookstores in Singapore, as well as selected newsstands.
