Everyday habits for a longer, fuller life.

Healthy aging comes down to a handful of everyday basics, done for years: good food, regular movement, rest, purpose and people.

Everyday habits that help

Know your numbers
Blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol checks catch problems while they're easy to manage.
Brush, floss and see the dentist
Gum health matters for more than your smile.
Eat mostly plants
Vegetables, fruit, beans, nuts and whole grains form the base of most healthy eating patterns.
Keep a purpose
Volunteering, mentoring, gardening or church involvement gives the days meaning.
Review your medicines
Ask your doctor or pharmacist to review everything you take, supplements included, once a year.
