In a recent interview with CNN, Dr. John Batsis listed a few things everyone should know about healthy aging. Specifically, he listed things that people can do now to help ensure they remain in good health into their later years.
Batsis said that proper nutrition along with regular physical activity and exercise are critically important for maintaining health into one’s later years. In addition to those things, he said a very important third factor is maintaining social connections.
Dr. Batsis also explained that, “Healthy aging can occur at any stage of life. It’s not only as a young adult or middle-aged adult, not only around retirement age. It still can occur well into one’s 80s and 90s.”
