People in the U.S. are living longer than ever before. Many older adults live active and healthy lives. But there's no getting around one thing: as we age, our bodies and minds change. You need to know what to expect. Some changes may just be part of normal aging, while others may be a warning sign of a medical problem. It is important to know the difference, and to let your health care provider know if you have any concerns. Having a healthy lifestyle can help you to deal with normal aging changes and make the most of your life. This includes healthy eating , regular physical activity , and making mental health a priority.
