In September we celebrate Healthy Aging! What contributes to aging healthy you ask??

1) Physical activity the golden standard is 150 minutes per week, that’s just 30 minutes/day. You can do it!
2) A nutrient rich diet means we eat MORE of fruits & veggies, lean protein, whole grains, & healthy fats. Eating less sodium, added sugars, unhealthy fats.
3) Take care of your mental health! See a behavioral health specialist, properly manage stress, SAY NO (nicely), engage in meaningful interactions.
4) Stay connected, you’re not alone!
5) Preventive and routine checkups!
