Dear Reader,
How well you age throughout your life doesn’t happen by accident. It’s generally a personal choice, based on your goals and motivations and the decisions that you make each day.
Mayo Clinic on Healthy Aging dives into the science behind aging—why it happens and how you can slow it down. More importantly, it gives you practical, expert-backed steps to help you live a healthier, more purposeful life as you grow older.
Research shows that genetics play a smaller role in aging than many believe. Instead, your habits, choices, and mindset—starting in early and mid-adulthood—have the biggest impact on your health and quality of life in your 60s and beyond.
Inside you will find the following and more: - What to expect as your body ages
- How to slow the aging process
- Proven ways to stay mentally and physically sharp
- How to plan for retirement and live with purpose
Mayo Clinic on Healthy Aging brings together expert guidance from Mayo Clinic specialists, including those from the Kogod Center on Aging. Think of it as your go-to manual for living life to the fullest—helping you make the most of your golden years, starting today. |
