There is so much scrutiny over outer beauty, particularly for women, as age advances. While there is nothing wrong with a little nip/tuck, we often forget how to prevent brain aging. Staying sharp and engaged, in addition to prioritizing physical health, can stave off the ravages of time. We live in an era of abundant information, coupled with exponential developments in healthcare and technology. Our focus here is to prioritize practical and attainable wellness. Take advantage of the possibilities, and choose the best course of action for your personal preferences—there is a plan for everyone, and choice, regardless of age or financial status, is the ultimate goal, because time is the ultimate luxury.


ARTICLE 1: “8 Tips on How to Age Gracefully in Your 60s”


Aging well doesn’t mean capturing time in a bottle or resorting to extremes. What’s important is living well. Paying attention to your body’s needs and changes positions you to prevent health decline successfully, and overall promotes wellness. The most basic tactic, it seems obvious but can be hard to do, is eating healthy and practicing moderation. As we age, the risk of cardiovascular disease increases, as does cancer and cognitive decline. Diet can often make or break the severity or even the occurrence of those issues. There is something called telomere shortening, which is a natural part of aging, but is exacerbated by unhealthy habits. Telomeres are the protective sequences on the ends of chromosomes and are meant to prevent damage when our cells reproduce. Dehydration is a common issue for seniors, which affects cognitive functioning and joint health. We are comprised mostly of water, so help yourself out and drink up!


Exercise daily, and keep moving—sedentary lifestyles are responsible for rapid health decline and can cause or worsen mental health issues. Everything in our bodies is connected, cause and effect. Exercise can be done at your own pace and in your own style. No need to go overboard, just stay active as you’re able. Maintaining and prioritizing relationships is a recurring theme of the third chapter. Staying connected prevents health decline, both mental and physical. Make sure you check in with yourself often so you can live your best life! 



ARTICLE 2: 6 simple steps to keep your mind sharp at any age”


It’s not unusual to have a small brain slip every once in a while. That can happen at any age, but it does occur more frequently among seniors. While your brain is not a literal muscle, it does require exercise and stimulation to function optimally. Constant learning over your lifetime benefits all areas of your health and overall enjoyment of life. Challenging yourself with new information and new experiences keeps you activated and sharp, and helps with staying connected to others you may meet through your activities. Engaging in activities that use all of your five senses also helps with memory recall, as humans have strong connections to smell and their emotions. It may sound trite, but a strong belief in yourself and your abilities leads to success. Believing that you are intelligent and have a strong memory will become a version of manifesting, and if you think you can, you will!



ARTICLE 3: “Tips for Getting and Staying Active as You Age”


Though it’s hard to make a change, life will become harder over time if you don’t take care of yourself. Small to moderate amounts of physical activity have a larger impact than is realized, particularly cardio and aerobic exercise. which is ideal for anyone with joint issues and chronic pain. Regardless of your limitations, you can create routines that cater to your needs and enjoy a greater quality of life. The important thing to remember is to take it slow and listen to your body as you explore your fitness journey, and, if needed, seek advice from medical professionals. Setting goals and identifying your barriers with others has a two-pronged benefit of motivation and community, balancing your autonomy with finding support and solutions from others. Typically, those who have support in their goals will have greater success and find more enjoyment throughout the process.
