Eating an abundance of healthy foods with variety, continue working the brain, and incorporating physical movement into your day to day routine can go far toward maintaining healthy habits as we age. People in the U.S. are living longer than ever before. Many seniors live active and healthy lives. But there's no getting around one thing: as we age, our bodies and minds change (Seniors, 2016). There are choices that can be made to maintain a healthy life as we age:
-Developing or maintaining a balanced diet
-Keeping your mind and body active
-Reconsider stopping smoking
-Receive regular checkups
-Practice safety habits to avoid accidents and prevent falls
It's never past the point where it is possible to settle in a more beneficial way of life decisions. Most elders invest years anticipating a stable retirement. When you're preparing for your retirement, you're committed to gaining improvement, and there's much you can do to guarantee a stable retirement.
According to the CDC, older adults should start by learning what to expect as they get older (Aging, 2016). It's important for them to understand the changes that they will go through like changes in muscle mass, sex drive, vision, and cardiovascular health. The goal of retirement should be to live and enjoy the things that you could not while working.
Depression, anxiety, addiction, and multiple mental health issues should never be considered as being a normal part of aging. When left untreated, they can lead to fatigue, illness, and even suicide. According to the CDC, "One in every four adults experiences a type of mental disorder like anxiety, depression, or dementia and predicted to double to by 2030 (2)."

ReplyDeleteAwesome blog post i enjoyed reading your blog post and by living healthy life can effect the way we age. The possible troubles we might face once we age.
ReplyDeleteThis post was very informative and knowing what happens when aging is very important.
ReplyDeleteAging is something that many people dont want to deal with but cant help. This post is great as it helps people know and understand how to prepare for the aging process. You may not be able to stop it, but it helps to know what to do to live a healthy and full life.
ReplyDeleteI always wonder why is aging such a big deal. I really used to wonder about that when was a little kid, but of course that was before I was a young adult and had bills to pay lol. Although no one can stop again and growing old, I do think you can be prepared for it and take good care of your health.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what your information is stating. Aging is just a part of life, good points and examples. Aging is important is apart of everyone.
ReplyDeleteI like how your sources suggested getting to know what to expect in aging so that you can prepare. The better you take care of your self the easier old age should be... hopefully.
ReplyDeleteim scared to age lol i know its suppose to be happen but its scary getting old. I always said when i was little i couldnt wait to grow up and move away from my mom but now adult life is kicking my butt. Aging is apart of life and you do have to make sure your stable and in good health
ReplyDeleteIt is crazy that we are actually considered adults and soon we will all be out working and not in school. Feels like just yesterday we were children playing outside. I like the information you provided about maintaining a healthy lifestyle while aging. No matter what it is important to keep the body happy. This is done by sleeping, eating right and exercising, and it seems to be more crucial the older we get. Great post only suggestion is changing the colors the neons made it hard to read.
ReplyDeleteAge is a topic that I feel like I am always talking about whether it is with friends, or family. I really took this post into consideration because my parents are starting to get into their later years. I will be sure to pass on the tips to them!
ReplyDeleteI really like that you added the last part about depression. I covered in my blog about depression and read about how there is a large number of older people who feel depressed but everyone just thinks that its normal. Old people still deserve to be happy and healthy and their emotions should not be overlooked just because they are older.
ReplyDeleteThis was a very informative post. I like how you said it is never too late to basically adapt a healthy lifestyle. So many fear getting old because of all the bad that can happen but if you take care of yourself in every way possible then it won't be bad. Great job!
