Healthy Aging

Regardless of which stage of life you are currently in, the things you can do to cultivate a healthy body and mind remain the same. Your specific actions might look a little different depending on if you are 7, 37, or 77, but all the basic principles for good health apply: eat right, move more, stay connected, find meaning, and build resilience.
