Behaviors  and learned elements can add healthy productive years to our lives

Healthy older brains are better at dealing with complex situations that you have dealt with for many years, having the benefit of so much experience. Research also suggests certain predictors of how well an individual in mid-life is likely to age.

Naturally some things need to be present such as:

one has to avoid substance abuse; a good stable marriage is helpful; education and ongoing reading; brain work; exercise, normal body weight; and a positive attitude toward life. Baby Boomers who exhibit these characteristics have a greater likelihood of aging well.

Education is more than university degrees earned ages ago. It is an ongoing interest in the world around you, reading newspapers, books, and other sources of information and awareness.

One must keep it active

occupy the brain- whether it involves reading or writing, attending lectures or taking classes, playing bridge or chess, or doing crossword puzzles – exercises the brain and makes it more resilient. It also strengthens the immune system. Also, mental and physical exercise increases feel-good hormones.

We are never too old to learn, and under normal circumstances, we can continue to learn nearly as long as we live.
