虽然你可能做不了年轻时能做的所有事——比如，他建议不要和青少年一起打橄榄球——但你可以找到其他有益的活动作为补偿。

Find something to commit to improving, whether it’s tennis or cabinetry. Mr. Ludwig suggested focusing on helping others, especially younger people.

寻找一些可以让你全心投入，并且不断做出改进的东西，无论是网球还是木工活。路德维希建议，可以致力于帮助其他人，特别是年轻人。

Remember, too, that you are not the only one feeling sore or slowing down, he said.

记住，不是只有你会感到身体疼痛或迟钝，他说。

“There are millions of Americans waking up with those aches and pains,” Mr. Ludwig said. “What is the alternative to aging? It’s dying young.”

“数以百万计的美国人醒来时感觉痛苦和疼痛，”路德维希说。“人不衰老就会怎样？就会在年纪轻轻时死去。”
