Healthy Aging Tips from UVA
Did you know small tweaks in daily routine can drastically improve your quality of life at nearly any age?

Though simple, such changes can boost overall happiness, alleviate aches and pains, protect later-in-life mobility, and more. In fact, Johns Hopkins University led a study that showed regularly practicing certain healthy habits reduced risks of death from medical ailments by 40 percent among those aged 45 to 64.
Still, altering lifelong habits can be tough, says Manning. Major life transitions – like kids leaving for college, retirement, or pandemic-related shutdowns – provide excellent opportunities for implementation. Committing to positive lifestyle changes during such times can build happiness, confidence, and momentum moving forward.
Manning details four of her favorite healthy aging habits. If adapted, they can help you slow the aging process both inside and out.
