September is Healthy Aging Month
As we get older, we become aware that our physical and mental health, along with dietary and social needs change over time. It’s important to realize that this change doesn’t mean you’ve lost control! Take charge of your well-being by aging healthy with your body and mind.
Tips to Stay Active and Independent
- Move more, sit less! Regular exercise can help older adults stay independent and prevent health problems that come with age. Aim for moderate physical activity, like walking at least 150 minutes a week and muscle strengthening activities, like carrying groceries at least 2 days a week.
- Be proactive. Book regular check-ups, physicals and medical tests when needed, as many diseases can be prevented when caught early. Take vitamins, supplements and medications as prescribed.
- Focus on quality nutrition. Eat a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, avoid excess processed foods and stay hydrated!
- Stay connected. Schedule time each day to stay in touch with family and friends. Take a class to learn something new and meet people with similar interests!
