5 Great Ways Seniors can stay Young!

Always remember that you are only as old as you feel! You’ve probably heard this before, but is there some truth behind it?

Studies have shown that 70% of seniors feel three or more years younger than their actual age, 25% feel close to their actual age and 5% feel a few years older.

So, could it be that staying young at heart helps you live a longer life?

Here are 5 great ways to feel younger than your calendar age…

     1.       Stay Positive. Have an optimistic outlook on life and that can really help you get through the bad times. Use meditation and yoga to maintain your positivity.

     2.       Forget the Number. Stop letting your age decide what you do and how you live your life. Focus on eating healthy and staying active and forget what your calendar age is.

     3.       Be Active. As people age they become more sedentary! Consider doing some fun activities such as swimming, walking, hiking, cycling or even tai chi.

     4.       Keep Learning. Another way to stay young is to keep using your mind. Start new hobbies like learning a new language or skill to keep your mind engaged at all times.

     5.       Live with Purpose. Living a life that is full of purpose will help you stay young at heart. Don’t fall into the trap of watching TV all day, every day, rather find productive activities that give you purpose.
