Growing Gracefully

Much is talked about anti-aging, the truth is we can't stop aging but we can certainly grow gracefully. Come find out how this can be done, a workshop not to be missed. Your detailed body composition measuring body fat, body water percentage, visceral fat level, muscle mass, BMR/metabolic age, bone mass will be carried out individually. With these information you can therefore fine-tune your fitness programme, improve your dietary intake, using natural nutraceutical means to ensure your body function the way it should be.

The above is an excerpt I found in a newsletter recently sent by the staff recreation club management. Is "old" such a taboo word that it warrants cutting its usage even when the occasion is simply screaming for it? You'd think that, being addressed to a small community of professors, the SRC management would be able to avoid restraining itself unnecessarily like this when organising and publicising events that run counter to the predominant ageism in Singapore.
