ProActive aging!
“We can change the way we age by staying active, to the fullest extent possible, within all areas of life: physical, emotional, intellectual, professional, social and spiritual. Aging within these dimensions of wellness keeps us involved, alert and enjoying a productive life” - A quote from the ICAA (International Council of Active Aging)
That being said; generally the active aging community is 50+. This website is geared toward being proactive and taking control of your health at any age, and the earlier the better. As a matter of fact the sooner you start eating well, being physically active and playing the main role in managing your well being, the more gracefully you will age. Having health and fitness goals is as important as planning for retirement. Simple things you can do to help increase longevity is:
- Eat more fresh fruit and vegetables.
- Drink more water.
- Sound sleep for 7 to 8 hours per night.
- Have a well rounded fitness plan. One that works all areas of physical wellness. More on this later.
- Spend quality time with family and friends.
- Be active EVERY single day. (walk, take the stairs, etc.)
- Learn to manage stress in a healthy way.
