Healthy Aging 2022

When considering “aging,” the adjective “healthy” tops the list as the most desired way to describe the process. But, what does that actually look like and how do you experience that for yourself?

Healthy aging is defined as “the process of developing and maintaining the functional ability that allows well-being for older adults.” Healthy aging also includes incorporating healthy habits through each stage of our lives. As we get older, our bodies can require different nutrient needs, wellness techniques and lifestyle changes.

Week 1 

“Health is not a destination-it’s a journey”

What’s your idea of wellness?

Whether you want to improve your health, adapt to new healthy lifestyle, learn about nutrition basics or needing inspiration to get motivated, identifying your idea of wellness is the first step in making sustainable changes.

Exploring your path to wellness

Wellness is ever evolving and the good news is, there isn’t a “one size fits all” solution to better health. Various stages of our lives can have different requirements. Wellness encompasses all areas of our existence and each part needs some nurturing. The challenge may be, finding what works and feels right for you.

Which area in your life needs the most nurturing? 

Here are some areas of wellness to think about along your journey:

· Health & Physical Wellness: the ability to maintain a healthy quality of life such as, adopting healthful eating habits, getting through daily activities, and recognizing our behaviors that may impact your health.

· Emotional Wellness:  The ability to cope with challenges when they arise and feeling comfortable sharing your feelings in a healthy manner.

· Social Wellness: The ability to connect with people in the world, establishing or maintaining relationships (Family, Friends, Co-workers, etc.).

· Spiritual Wellness: The ability to establish peace and harmony in our life.

· Environmental Wellness- The ability to recognize our own quality of life, such as our surroundings, the air we breathe, our community and living environment. 

The idea is to take inventory in these areas you feel have been neglected.  By expanding and nurturing that particular area, you will discover other parts of your life improving.  As you begin to make gradual changes in any of these areas, you will start to experience bigger shifts in your life.  Remember to honor your progress and any step you take is a success!
