Healthy ageing
Your ageing journey is largely shaped by your lifestyle choices. Learn all about healthy ageing and how you can age your way.
What is healthy ageing?
Healthy ageing, or active ageing, means making choices that help you develop and maintain your independence for longer.
To age your way, it's important to understand how lifestyle choices can influence your health. Daily habits such as what you eat or how often you challenge your mind add up to have a major effect over the years.
The good news is most of these lifestyle factors are within your control. That means healthy ageing is in your hands.
To make things simple, here are three important choices you can make to help you stay independent and living at home:
- Stay physically active
- Stay socially connected
- Use assistive technology when you need it
These are LiveUp's 3 healthy ageing foundations. These foundations help you support your body, brain, and mental health.
It's never too late to start making changes that improve your health and happiness.
