If COVID-19 has taught us anything, it’s that life is a gift and time is a precious commodity.
If you are an older adult, you’re probably aware that more than ever, age plays a part in staying healthy so you can fight off the coronavirus. That’s because as you age, your risk for severe illness from COVID-19 goes up. For instance, if you’re in your 60s or 70s you generally have a higher risk of being severely ill from COVID-19 than adults in their 50s.
In spite of the grim times we’re facing now, humans are resilient. We will always want to live longer and enjoy productive senior years. The good news is that staying healthy doesn’t have to be complicated. Case in point: the five secrets here.
September is Healthy Aging® Month, which is another good reason to check out these tips. Make them a habit and they’ll help you age gracefully and look forward to healthy years ahead.
