If you have older family members or loved ones, you may worry about their health as they age. The good news is that adopting and maintaining a few key behaviors can help older adults live longer, healthier lives. Ways you can support healthier habits among your loved ones include:
- Preventing social isolation and loneliness. Consider scheduling
weekly or biweekly phone calls or video chats. - Promoting physical activity. Help them brainstorm ways to work movement into their daily lives.
- Encouraging healthy eating. Discuss their favorite traditional recipes and talk about ways you can make those recipes healthier.
