Just a guess. I believe Jesus started His ministry at the age of 'thirty'. In His day, that marked the official age of maturity to hold office etc. No scriptural evidence, but I suspect our bodies will appear physically to be maybe thirty?

I've wondered about the bathroom thing myself, but was too embarrassed to ask. According to scripture, it's plain that we will have the capability to eat. I don't know if it will be a requirement for us to eat of the "Tree of Life" or not to maintain our immortality? In Revelation the Tree of Life is there to partake of. 

There will be a feast in heaven.

Sidenote: I just returned from celebrating my mother's 94th birthday. It was a happy gathering of friends and family celebrating our time on earth together and especially her presence and what she has meant to many a life during her "reign".

 I write reign because she was given a sign that declared, "Queen Of Everything" from her long time friend of some 52 years. She also has her boyfriend, a survivor from her home town  upbringing that is a year older than she.

Entering into early mid seventies,  a Septuagenarian myself, and having to get back to my own full time work, I had this short short vacation spending time with her at her home where she reigns happily to this day.

Her message- "Be happy,and  love." Does she have plights of age? Oh sure, you bet, but she lives  laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone.

Physical food. Remember at the last supper when they were drinking wine Jesus told them he would not drink wine again until he would drink it in heaven with them.

Getting old is not going to stop for anyone. There have been billions spent on surgeries, moisturizers and various kind of creams and a ton of hair dye. No one has discovered a fountain of youth yet. So suck it up and grow old gracefully.

Why? Why not be as beautiful as possible if that  is a  person's desire. BTW it isn't for me.

I have adopted an attitude that I am much like an old Ford truck. I earned all these scratches, dings, and dents. They are character lines, my character lines. BUT; if someone has the means, and wishes to  restore an old Ford  truck or their body, it is little to none of my business. Let them, their mechanics and surgeons have at it. Though I do find the results of some to be a bit comical looking ( both old trucks and old people).

That is their choice.

Hi, Guess on second thought that  I sure hope I am not "discovered" as an old barn find and left on display complete with dust, dirt, rat droppings, and chewed up wiring.

Maybe little paint an polish on me wouldn't hurt too much, but I think I'll just risk it and be me, an as is find.

But then again we are talking about human beings not old barns.

For some reason, men get better with age in the looks department.

A woman can spend a ton of money on cosmetics and age defying products, and A LOT of time in the bathroom....to no avail - men on the other hand, a shave, combed hair and Cologne - a million bucks!!
