Healthy Habits - Top Ten Ways for Aging Adults to Remain Healthy and Fit

 On the latest edition of her podcast, health, and wellness expert Beth Linder-Moss discussed ways to get and stay healthy while getting older. These are the top ten ways.

1. Regular Exercise: Prioritize physical activity as part of your daily routine. Exercise promotes better health and increases mood as well as cognitive function. Try to find workouts that suit your personal abilities and preferences.

2. Find Fitness Friends: Cultivate a supportive network of fitness companions. Participating in community exercise groups or walking with a friend not only boosts motivation for exercise but also provides social interaction.

3. Accommodate Physical Limitations: If mobility is an issue, aim for exercises that accommodate your physical condition. Seated exercises like chair aerobics and chair yoga can be great options.

4. Choose Enjoyable Activities: Regular exercise doesn't strictly mean traditional gym workouts. Beth suggests finding activities you enjoy, from pickleball and golf to using household items like water bottles or cans for resistance training.

5. Prioritize Mental Health: Remain mindful of the psychological benefits of physical activity. Exercise helps reduce stress, enhance cognitive function, and improve your overall mood.

6. Socialize More: Participating in group activities provide both health and social benefits. Engage in social activities that also involve physical movement 

7. Eat a Balanced Diet: Aim for a variety of foods in your diet. Concentrate on incorporating more vegetables, whole grains, proteins, and remember to keep well-hydrated.

8. Healthy Sweet Alternatives: If you have a sweet tooth, it's important to choose healthier alternatives. Options like chia seed pudding can satisfy your craving while providing nutritional benefits.

9. Value Sleep: Consider the significance of quality sleep. Regular physical activity can aid in achieving a more restful sleep, contributing to better overall health. 

10. Embrace a Holistic Approach: Consider your health and wellness wholly, including regular exercise, mental health, diet, social activity, and adequate rest. Bringing all these elements together can contribute to healthy aging.
