Use these 6 tips to remain active and independent as long as possible.
1. Eat & Drink Healthy
Make healthy choice
like fruits, vegetables,
whole grains, lean meats,
low-fat dairy products,
and water.
2. Move More, Sit Less
Throughout the Day
Being active can help you prevent, delay, and manage chronic diseases; improve
balance and stamina;
reduce risk of falls; and improve brain health.
3. Don’t Use Tobacco
If you use tobacco,
take the first step towards quitting by calling for help.
4. Get Regular Checkups
Visit your doctor for preventive services, not just when you’re sick. This can prevent disease or find it early, when treatment is more effective.
5. Know Your Family History
Share your family health history with your doctor, who can help you take steps to prevent chronic diseases or catch them early.
6. Be Aware of Changes in Brain Health
Everyone’s brain changes as they age, but dementia is not
a normal part of aging. See your doctor if you have questions about memory or brain health.
