Tips on Aging Well

Aging is a process, and it can be a beautiful one. Here are three tips on aging well, brought to you by Mom's Meals.

1. Eat well. Diet is a vital part of healthy aging and what we put into our bodies plays a significant role in how well our bodies function. Whether one prefers a gluten-free diet, vegetarian, or is on a restricted diet due to diabetes or kidney disease, Mom’s Meals offers a wide variety of fresh made, nutritious meals, designed my Registered Dieticians, and delivered right to your door. If you don’t like to shop and cook, or if those chores have become too difficult to navigate, having meals delivered may be the best option.

2. Get plenty of rest. Sleeping well and getting plenty of rest is essential for both physical and emotional well-being. Sleep is a critical component in concentration and memory, body recovery and repair, immune system boost, and mood elevation. How well someone sleeps can often be looked at as a barometer for their overall health.
As we age, it’s even more important to get plenty of rest at night. Not only can it promote healthy aging, but it can reduce the risk of falls, and of many serious health problems including cardiovascular disease. Experts say seniors should get 7-9 hours of sleep each night.

3. Stay social. Unlike a healthy diet and rest, which primarily impact physical health, staying social is more about our mental health and overall outlook. It is crucial to understand that the mental health of an individual can greatly influence physical health. When we’re depressed, lonely, or anxious, these mental factors can impact healthy aging.
