Make Health & Wellness Your Top Priority
Eating a nutrient-rich diet and staying active are two important lifestyle choices that can help you feel your best at any age. It’s never too late to replace old, unhealthy habits with new ones so you can feel better and do more of the things you love to do. This is the perfect time to commit to taking care of yourself – mind, body, and spirit.
Here are three ways you can improve your quality of life, starting today:
- Make healthy choices at every meal. A nutrient-rich diet can increase your energy, improve cognitive function, help manage weight, and reduce your risk for certain diseases.1,2 Also, remember to stay hydrated by drinking water throughout the day.
- Get moving. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that seniors get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity a week – about 30 minutes a day, five days a week. A brisk walk, exercise class, or bike ride are great options. Even 10 minutes of exercise can deliver health benefits!3
- Stay connected. Engaging with other people is important to our physical and mental health.4 Sometimes social opportunities slow down as we age, but it’s important to find ways to connect with others in ways that are enjoyable to you.
