I m 61 and I used to jog in hills for the past 15 years , now my activities increased further about 12 km in hills and treking while the week , my weight is 55kg i never felt tired or restkess

Ans: mpressive! Your dedication to jogging and trekking has clearly cultivated impressive endurance and strength, especially considering your age. Sustaining this level of activity requires attentive self-care. Consistency is key, ensuring you adhere to your exercise routine to maintain and even enhance your fitness. Variety in exercises prevents monotony and engages different muscle groups. Prioritize proper nutrition and hydration to fuel your body adequately. Don't overlook the necessity of rest and recovery to prevent overtraining and injuries. Regular check-ups with your doctor are crucial for monitoring your health as you age. Your commitment to an active lifestyle is truly commendable and serves as an inspiration to others. Keep up the great work and cherish every moment of your journey!

Career
I'm a bsc botany graduate and now got admission and doing msc. I'm in first year and just gave my 1st semester exam but somehow now i feel i can't do botany at all its not just in my interest. I can't continue further with it as i dont think there's much scope too. I have interest in fields like geography or law related subjects. I'll be attempting for upsc too this year and also had a second thought to go for Law. Should i drop the msc? ....I've cried a lot thinking about that and its affecting my mental health too.
Ans: Hello dear.
First I would like to suggest that, in any way, you first complete your M.Sc. (Botnay) either with interest or without interest. Who told you that there is less scope in Botany? There are a lot of career options after M.Sc. (Botany).It is good that you are interested in geography and are attempting UPSC this year. Dear, along with your M.Sc. you can easily appear for UPSC and do the study of Geography, after completing your M.Sc. you can take the admission to Law course. Many people do the law even after their retirement or in due course of their service. There is no need to cry about the things which happened to you.
Suggestions: (1) Completer M.Sc. (Botany) by any means (2) Space-time to read Geography and UPSC Syllabus (3) Develop your overall personality and try to engage in some extracurricular activities of your interest.
Best of luck for your upcoming bright future.
