Genes aside, there are many things we can do to help ourselves age well
I'm thinking a lot about aging lately. It happens every year when I celebrate my birthday.
While I feel blessed to be growing older—I know so many people don't get that privilege—and equally fortunate to have so many thoughtful friends to help me celebrate, those birthday emotions aren't limited to just joy and happiness. I also can't help feeling a bit apprehensive about what the future holds.Good genes count for a lot. On the day after my birthday, I attended a funeral for my husband's cousin, who died at the ripe old age of 101.
But genes aside, there are many things we can do to help ourselves age well—or age better, at the very least. A healthy lifestyle goes a long way: Even for people at genetic risk for dementia, those who followed a healthy lifestyle fared better, according to research.Think the rainbow: The more colors you eat , the more varied and wider range of nutrients you're getting. Make sure to include plenty of green, leafy vegetables, as well as legumes and whole grains.
