It’s not about running a marathon, but about keeping your body moving, because an active body keeps a lively mind. If you have difficulty, do it sitting down: move your ankles, raise your legs, or take deep breaths. Every movement counts, and every day you choose to move, you’re saying, “I’m still alive, I’m still strong, I’m still me.”
Tip: Take advantage of everyday moments to move. For example, while you wait for the water to boil or the washing machine to finish, take a few steps around the house. Your body will thank you.
2. Use your plate: Food as a source of energy and joy
Eating well isn’t just about nourishing yourself; it’s about celebrating yourself. A colorful plate, full of fruits, vegetables, protein, and healthy oils, is an expression of self-love.
After age 60, the body needs more nutrients to stay strong. The key is to incorporate fresh, natural foods. A crunchy salad, homemade soup, or a fruit smoothie can become small doses of daily vitality.
