September is Healthy Aging Month, a nationwide observance dedicated to empowering older adults by promoting the positive features of aging.
During Healthy Aging Month, organizations raise awareness about how adults 45 and older can live healthier, happier lives. In addition, many groups host educational events where older adults can learn to improve their physical, mental, social, and financial health.
As we age, it’s easy to focus on the negative aspects of growing old. Our vision deteriorates, joint pain occurs more frequently, and things don’t taste the same as they used to.
However, there are just as many (if not more) good things that come with age, such as perspective, confidence, and of course, grandkids.
Technology and changing mindsets toward aging make growing old easier than ever before. Not only that, but if you develop healthy habits now, you’ll set yourself up for many years of graceful aging.
