Tips for Healthy Aging

No known substance can extend life, but the changes of staying healthy and living a long time can be improved:

  • Eat a balanced diet, include plenty of fruits and vegetables in a day.
  • Exercise regularly (Check with a doctor before starting on an exercise programme).
  • Get regular health check-ups.
  • Don't Smoke (it's never too late to quite).
  • Practice safety habits at home to prevent falls and fractures. Always wear a helmet on a bike, a seatbelt in a car.
  • Stay with contact with family and friends. Stay active through work, play and community.
  • avoid overexposure to the sum and the cold.
  • If you drink, moderation is the key. When you drink, let someone else drive.
  • Keep a positive attitude toward life. Do things that make you happy.
