50 ways to AGE WELL

It’s easy to feel that, as we get older, our bodies become less efficient and start to deteriorate. But there are plenty of things you can do to grow old while maintaining your health, fitness and happiness

Here, we present 50 tips on how you can start living your best life – no matter what your age.

1 Have a purpose

‘People with a purpose have been shown to have slower cognitive decline and to age better overall,’ says Susan Saunders, health coach and author of The Age Well Plan.

2 Eat fibre

3 Fermented foods

Gut health aids your immune system, keeps your brain and heart healthy
