How can I prevent health problems as I age?

You can't change the past … or stop the clock. Growing old is inevitable but some of the health problems associated with aging don't need to be. Some nutrition and lifestyle changes can help prevent health issues that start to crop up with age:

• Get adequate rest to help keep your immune system strong.
• Control your weight. Excess weight seems to increase your risk for several diseases, which can affect quality of life and life span.
• Refuel regularly. Maintaining a regular meal schedule keeps insulin levels steady and avoids surges which can increase your disease risk.
• To the extent you are able, engage in regular physical activity.

You can make choices at any age or health condition that can slow the changes and challenges that come with getting older. You'll feel good longer and enjoy life for many years to come.
