Is ageing something to be feared or embraced? Miriam Abadi goes into a deep discussion with Dr. Cherine Bazzane who discusses the concept of aging and how it affects women's health and their future, documenting the pervasive societal pressure on Arab and non-Arab women in the Middle East to stay young and beautiful.

Miriam Abadi talks to fitness trainer and nutritionist Baraa El Sabbagh about how to tackle this issue and eat a balanced diet.
