To stay healthy, you need to follow some habits. Exercising and eating a balanced diet will help you to stay healthy during old times. Eating a balanced diet without overindulging is also another way of keeping the body youthful.

A healthy and balanced diet is essential for our bodies to function optimally, no matter what age we are. It is also important to keep mentally stimulated. Reading and solving crossword puzzles, as well as eagerness to learn new things will keep our minds active and engaged and can help to prevent memory loss and other cognitive decline associated with aging. Other ways of keeping healthy at old age include staying socially connected, having a positive outlook to life, and taking care of one’s mental health.
