You\u2019re only as old as you feel, so why not feel your best? Embracing a holistic approach to healthy aging involves adopting and maintaining the healthy habits below\u2014the earlier these habits take root, the better off you\u2019ll be!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exercise Your Body<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you want to travel to Paris, take up kayaking or simply be able to play with your grandchildren during your golden years? Having a healthy body will make any goal easier to accomplish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try to get about 2.5 hours of physical exercise per week (around 20 minutes a day), and incorporate a mix of aerobic, weight-lifting and balance activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give Your Brain a Workout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Engaging in brain-stimulating activities keeps the mind sharp. It\u2019s fine to participate in hobbies you already enjoy, but also be open to trying new things, like learning to play an instrument or speak a different language, to give your brain a boost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also give online brain-training exercises a shot\u2014they may help improve your memory, cognition and creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay Connected to Others<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve accumulated a lifetime\u2019s worth of friends and family members, but when was the last time you got together? Prioritize regularly reaching out to your loved ones. It can be as simple as chatting on the phone once a month or maintaining a weekly meetup for coffee\u2014meaningful interactions don\u2019t have to take much time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also good to meet new people as you age. Volunteering or taking a class can give you a chance to connect with others interested in the same things you are, allowing you to turn mere acquaintances into forever friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep Your Hearing Going Strong<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that treating age-related hearing loss<\/a> is a quality-of-life booster? Hearing aid users report improved communication abilities, better relationships at work and home, more self-confidence and a greater sense of independence.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
