September is Healthy Aging Month
Let's face it; we're all aging!
September is Healthy Aging Month, and it's the perfect time to focus on habits that help us feel our best at every stage of life.
Make movement enjoyable
Aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity each day. Include exercises that promote flexibility and stretching to keep your body agile and strong.
Mind your nutrients
As we age, our nutritional needs change. For example, vitamin B12 becomes harder to absorb over time. Talk to your doctor about whether you might benefit from taking supplements.
Keep your brain active
Challenge your mind with puzzles, reading, learning a new skill or language; even playing games can help keep your brain sharp.
Stay on top of your health
Schedule and attend regular check-ups, including physicals, dental visits, and eye exams. Preventive care is key to long-term wellness.
