5 tips to help you age well

Aging well is sometimes a matter of luck, but there are some strategies that increase the chances of living well for longer. These include protecting brain health by adopting healthy lifestyle habits, walking regularly, and regularly reviewing medications to ensure that you still need to be taking them, that you are taking the correct dose and to prevent dangerous side effects. Other strategies such as learning to use technology to increase connections with others and using assistive devices, such as walkers or canes, can help people remain independent for longer.
