2. Just because we are
aging does not mean we
have to give up our
health or youthfulness.
On the following pages,
we are going to look at
seven things you can do
to make sure you feel
your very best.

3. Keeping your
body active will
help you in a
host of ways.
Exercise helps
regulate your
weight, prevent
illness, stave off
dementia,
promote better
sleep, reduce
stress, and will
keep you
looking great.

4. Exercising your mind
can have a profound
impact on your brain’s
health. Things like
reading a good book,
taking a cooking class,
finishing a crossword
puzzle, or learning a
new language can
benefit your overall
wellbeing.

5. E A T H E A L T H F U L L Y
In addition to physical activity, eating correctly proportioned,
healthy meals can help prevent or control several common
illnesses and conditions like heart disease, type 2 diabetes,
high blood pressure, and osteoporosis.

6. It’s important to keep up
with your annual physical,
but what is equally as
important are your teeth,
hearing, and vision. Your
teeth need daily care, too.
By the age of 50, most
people will notice a
change in their hearing
and eyesight – it’s a good
idea to check them to
make sure the loss isn’t
due to something like
glaucoma or an illness.

7. Our skin grows thinner
as we grow older –
becoming less elastic
and drier – with cuts
and bruises taking
longer to heal. Take
care of your skin by
moisturizing, and if
you are going to be
outside, apply 15 SPF
or higher. Limiting
your exposure to
ultraviolet light can
reduce your chances of
skin cancer.

9. The most important
thing you can do for
yourself is to be happy.
Do the things that keep
you in a positive state of
mind. Hang out with
friends, take a class, or
go for a walk – these
things can reduce your
stress and make you feel
happy and restful.
