September is Healthy Aging Month.

Healthy aging is about maintaining strength, energy, and independence as the years go by. It’s not about major overhauls, but steady habits that help you feel your best each day.

A few ways to support healthy aging include:

Moving daily with activities like walking, stretching, or light strength training
Eating more fruits, vegetables, and whole foods for lasting energy
Staying socially connected with family, friends, or community groups
Getting quality sleep and managing stress in healthy ways
Keeping up with regular check-ups and screenings

Taking care of both body and mind today makes it easier to enjoy the things you love tomorrow. This month is a good reminder to slow down, focus on the basics, and build habits that support long-term health.
