AMA & AMA Alliance Offer Good Health Tips: Seniors
(65 +)
Remember: Good health equals successful aging -- Today's "new age" seniors, who anticipate 15-20 more years of active involvement in our society, are quickly adopting a regimen of strategic wellness. Here are some important lifestyle practices:
Participate in a regular exercise program for a healthy heart and healthy bones.
Manage disorders of cholesterol, triglycerides and lipoprotein metabolism through diet and medication.
Eat a heart healthy diet that is high in fiber and low in fats and sugars.
Recognize and seek proper treatment for depression that often accompanies this definitive period of life.
Take your medication properly and as prescribed - If you don't understand your physicians' instructions, ask for clarification - after all it's your life!
