To add: drink plenty of non caloric fluids and keep away from too much UV (use sun screen). And avoid the heat, since older people can't regulate hot temperatures as well. And, for countries where you can afford it, get medical checkups or go to the doctor when something seems off.
In my european country we have certain free, voluntary checkups at certain ages to check for things like colon cancer and breast cancer.
And keep your teeth and gums healthy. Take care of them. Not only brushing and flossing, but don't eat all day long and stay away from juices and sodas, since they are acidic and wear away the enamel of the teeth.
Finally, try to keep your weight in check and eat your veggies (not always the same ones) and some fruits.
This is a succulent that flowers every year for me, with cute purple flowers. If you look carefully, you see tiny ‘hairs’ here and there. I belief those aid in collecting dew. It sits in a south window.
If you take care of your parents or other elderly, how are you preparing to age gracefully?
