Some say your senior years are the best years: your children are grown, grandchildren are in the picture, and you get to spend countless hours with your close friends doing the things
you love. But you may be wondering, how can you stay healthy as you age so you can enjoy all these wonderful things?
What Can I Do?
Your health should always be a priority, no matter your age. However, older adults need to pay closer attention to their health to help them live a happy, healthy, independent life.
Follow these healthy aging tips to help get you on the right track!
1. Get Vaccinated
Staying up to date on your vaccinations can help protect yourself and those around you from life-threatening disease and illness. Since older adults are more likely to get certain diseases, your pharmacist or doctor may recommend receiving specific vaccinations as you get older.
2. Prioritize Physical Health
Staying active as you age is a great way to keep your body in good working order. Physical activity helps to increase mobility, prevent falls, and reduce the risk of certain diseases. Not only that, but it can give your brain a boost!
3. Focus on Mental Health
Mental health tends to deteriorate as we get older. Engaging your mind in challenging activities helps to keep your mind active and healthy and may even slow cognitive decline as you age.
4. Fuel Your Body
Eating foods that are rich in nutrients, vitamins, and minerals help to keep your brain and body healthy. Nuts, vegetables, and fish are great foods to promote heart health and brain function.

Just because you are aging, does not mean you can put your health on the backburner.
As you age, it is important to keep yourself healthy, inside and out! Getting vaccinated helps protect you and those around you, focusing on your physical and mental health helps keep you active, and fueling your body through diet and supplements may help boost your overall health.
If you have any questions about vaccines, diet changes, supplement recommendations,
or mental health, talk to our pharmacist today!
