- Don't smoke, and limit alcohol to no more than one drink per day.
- Get regular physical activity, including a variety of exercises.
- Maintain a healthy body weight and get regular medical checkups.
- Help maintain intellectual health by participating in hobbies, furthering your education and learning new activities.
- Spend time improving your relationships.
- Work with a physician who specializes in the health of older adults. Discuss your health goals and any advance directives with your doctor.
