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 explores the biology of aging – why we age and how to slow the aging process. More importantly, it outlines steps that you can take now to help you enjoy a healthier and more purposeful life in your later years.
Researchers are finding that genes play a smaller role in overall health than most individuals realize. The lives people lead in their 60s are generally determined by personal attitudes, decisions made, and actions taken beginning in young and middle adulthood.
Inside you will find the following and more: - Common age-related changes
- How to slow the aging process
- How to challenge the brain and body
- Retirement planning and living a fulfilling life
Mayo Clinic on Healthy Aging provides expert advice from a wide range of Mayo Clinic specialists, including staff of Mayo Clinic’s Kogod Center on Aging. Think of it as an instruction manual that gives you the tools you need to live life to its maximum — ensuring that your later years are indeed your golden years. |
