Ways to prevent illness

Aging a fact of life but manageable with proper care

Aging is a fact of life, and with it comes certain senior health issues.

Many people worry about cognitive decline and weaker bones, but there are other, lesser-known concerns, too.

Getting older involves change, both negative and positive, but you can enjoy aging if you understand what’s going on with your body and take steps to maintain your health.

Preventive care means just that — preventing illness before it happens. If there are any warning signs of disease, regular preventive care will spot them, so you can take action early.

Beyond health screenings, you can work with a health practitioner (nutritionist) to start healthy lifestyle changes, a better diet and an exercise routine.

The benefits of healthy eating include increased mental acuteness, resistance to illness and disease, higher energy levels, faster recuperation times, and better management of chronic health problems.

As we age, eating well can also be the key to a positive outlook and staying emotionally balanced.
