I am on that route....which is good because my sister got my dad's side of the family's genes.....and even though she's 5 years younger, everyone always assumes she's older.

We both eat right, keep our weight in check and take care of our hygiene and grooming habits. You can't fight genetics though
That is very true for us also (take a look at my photo album if you would like; I am 56 she is 55). However, we both work hard at keeping ourselves like the other found us. When we got married at 16 and 17 (she was pregnant) my wife weighed about 100 lbs. Today, 39 years later she is 110 lbs. I was about 135 lbs. and I am about 145 now. We do not smoke, or eat high fat foods and eat mostly complex carbs (she does better that I do at that). I run about 12-15 miles a week and my wife does a combination of yoga and walking/running.

As for body hair, I don't have that much anyway and regarding pubic hair, we both prefer the clean shaven look on the other.

And, I might add, as someone else said, we have plenty of hot sex also.
