Be Physically Active

Be it a set of tennis with a friend, a walk around the neighbourhood or gardening. Whatever gets your heart racing — in a good way — is perfect to add to your daily routine. Physical activity will help you maintain strength and stamina, and reduce many health risks, ranging from high blood pressure to colon cancer to diabetes.

Be Active Socially

Research indicates that social well-being may be linked to reduced levels of age-related disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and certain types of cancer.
