Enjoying good health as you age isn’t just a matter of genetics. Many factors that support healthy aging are in your control. To enjoy better physical and mental health, and reduce your risk for Alzheimer’s and related dementias, follow these tips to help you live longer and better.
1. Choose healthy foods.
Eat a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and plant-based proteins.
2. Keep moving.
Choose activities you enjoy such as walking, dancing, swimming, or a group fitness class.
3. Manage stress.
Try meditating, journaling, or quiet reflection to reduce stress and support emotional well-being.
4. Engage your brain.
Learn a new game, instrument, craft, or language. Studies show that learning a new skill can improve memory.
5. Stay connected and give back.
Volunteering can help you feel more engaged and connected in your community.
6. Take steps to prevent falls.
Make your home safer by using night lights, installing grab bars in the bathroom, and removing tripping hazards.

Make time for friends, family, social activities, and community programs that bring joy and purpose.
