Age Esteem begins when we are children. Research at Yale University and the American Institute on Aging indicate that the attitude that we have towards age and older people as children influences how we ourselves age. Children who are raised with a positive attitude and relationship towards older people age better and more healthfully and tend to live longer.
The relationships we have with older people, the language we hear others use to describe older people, and the images that we see illustrating older people will impact our whole life and even contribute to our longevity.
Age esteemers have a positive attitude toward aging. They embrace it with age esteem. Age esteemers value, admire and respect age and tend to live longer, happier lives.

Why is it that when someone says “sex” our ears perk up, and when someone says “age” we tend to tune out?
Actually sex and age have a lot in common.
- Both are three letter words.
- How you relate to each of them is dependent on your attitude.
- Your attitude toward each depends in great part on the attitude of your environment, what you were raised to believe.
- What you get out of sex and out of age is influenced by what you put into each.
- You control how you live with both your age and with sex.
Having an intimate relationship can improve your health and longevity. – Just be sure to practice safe sex.
