Knowledge of Aging

Growing knowledge and resources about the effects of aging can help you actively take part in your own health and wellness. Taking advantage of these resources can translate into feeling more comfortable, contented and healthy as you age. Keep in mind that reducing your risk of disease is all about making simple changes in your daily routine.

In the past we believed there was little or nothing we could do to change our health and improve our overall wellness. Research has shown that healthy lifestyle behaviors, such as being physically active, eating a healthy diet, and not smoking, are more influential than genetic factors.

Published results in medical research, in-depth studies on women’s and men’s health, and medical and pharmaceutical advances in research have all helped to inform the public and open avenues for better decision making about managing personal health.
