Hi, I'm Anne Kreamer. After 25 years of coloring my hair, I recently decided to go gray - and my life started getting easier. My first book, "Going Gray: What I Learned About Beauty, Sex, Motherhood, Work, Authenticity and Everything Else That Matters," is due out in September 2007. I am a former magazine columnist (Martha Stewart Living, Fast Company) and media executive (Sesame Street, Nickelodeon, SPY). http://health.yahoo.com/experts/ Wed, 14 Nov 2007 03:32:06 -0800 Yahoo! http://us.rd.yahoo.com/mediablogs/rss/goinggray/*http://health.yahoo.com/experts/goinggray/2471/whats-it-like-to-be-over-50-in-america Research indicates that the second half of our lives can be the happiest time ever. Yet more than ever the culture idolizes the young.

That’s interesting - a potential win-win-win, because medical research has proven that walking just 30 minutes a day improves your overall health. So what can we do to improve the “walkability” of our communities?

Instead of tutors, all our kids might need to excel is a little more sleep.

And if older people feel driven to appear young, they shut themselves off from essential emotional growth in maturity.

In the game of aging and staying fit, there are no silver bullets.

What if we actually continue to grow, not diminish, as we age?
