2.5 minute read

The secret to aging well is to establish a healthy lifestyle early and stick to it as you grow older. Many chronic diseases can be avoided through preventative measures. And although the risk of disease and disability increases with age, poor health doesn’t have to take over your later years. Here are some tips for staying healthy for life.

 

Eat Right and Exercise Frequently

Proper nutrition is vital to maintaining good health. Try to have a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, while reducing your fat and sugar intake. Improving your diet can extend your life span and reduce the occurrence of chronic diseases.

Regular exercise is also important for health and longevity. It’s also great for controlling weight, reducing anxiety and depression, decreasing the need for physician visits and medications, and more. Exercise doesn’t need to be strenuous to be beneficial. Even moderate physical activities can keep you healthy and active.

 

Maintain a Positive Outlook

Your mind plays an active role in your ability to age well and maintain a high quality of life. Being engaged with others and maintaining positive social connections can help you retain cognitive function as you age.

 

Stop Smoking

Abstaining from tobacco is one of the best ways to protect your health. According to the CDC, more than 16 million Americans are living with a disease caused by smoking and more than 480,000 people die from smoking each year.

 

Conclusion

Following a healthy lifestyle can help lead to a longer life. By eating well, exercising regularly, and avoiding tobacco, you can reduce your chances of developing chronic diseases and improve your well-being for years to come. Download the bulletin for more details.
