Many individuals know to “eat right,” “exercise,” and “sleep enough,” but they don’t know what constitutes eating right or what exercises are feasible for them given any physical limitations. People are curious about the vitamins and supplements they can take to help them in many domains and how much alcohol is “safe” to drink. Research has shown countless benefits to social support and social engagement. Are older adults aware of the benefits and/or resources available to them? Meditation/mindfulness can help reduce stress, lower blood pressure, improve sleep, and more. In this series, we will explore the many domains impacted by age and give participants practical suggestions on how they can age in a healthy manner.
