Ageing is a natural process, but ageing gracefully is within our grasp. Experts suggest that it's more than counting the candles on the birthday cake; it's about maintaining the vitality to blow them out and enjoying the occasion.
As bodies age, muscle mass diminishes, bones may weaken, and reflexes slow. However, a future of vibrant health lies in nurturing balance, grip strength, and mental acuity. Simple tests can provide early indicators of overall well-being.
Physical activity, a nutritious Mediterranean-style diet, restorative sleep, and robust social networks are the foundational pillars of ageing well. These habits support not only bodily health but also cognitive function and emotional resilience.
