I remember a classroom discussion in 3rd grade regarding what the world would be like in the year 2000. I did the math and realized I'd be 30. (I remember how old I thought 30 was, lol.)

I just turned 50.
 
As we have progressed medically and our attitudes toward healthy living, it seems to me, that by today's standards, middle age begins at 60. My son just turned 54 and he looks 40. No wrinkles or gray hair. He is fit as a fiddle and takes very good care of himself. Sees his doctor once a year and his dentist every 6 months. Of course, I've had him doing this since he was a tot. But, only recently have I myself begun to feel my age. It, of course could depend on the individual, but more and more, I see what we used to call middle aged folks still very youthful in most things. Even professional athletes are playing their sport into their late 40s and beyond.

I agree... I've always looked young for my age ( catching up a bit now, but still a lot younger looking than my grandparents at the same age)..but more pertinently my daughter who is coming up to 45, is mistaken always for being in her 20's.. and like your son, she's very fit, looks after her own welfare very well by having regular check ups, good teeth... exercises regularly, is slim, and eats a very wholesome diet .... All more than I ever did at the same age.
