Healthy Aging

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. There are things you can do to stay healthy and active as you age:

• Eat a balanced diet
• Keep your mind and body active
• Don't smoke
• Get regular checkups
• Practice safety habits to avoid accidents and prevent falls
