7 Signs You're Aging Well, According To Geriatricians
Huff PostMoMo Productions via Getty Images Aging well consists of three different buckets: physical health, emotional health and mental health. “So often, people don’t age well because they’re not upfront about what their needs are,” said Robyn Golden, the associate vice president of social work and community health at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. “Your body is always changing, it may not need meds.” She said it’s important to talk to your doctor about de-prescribing any unnecessary medications. “I really want people to start thinking about aging well from the time they’re in their 30s and their 40s.” If you start focusing on healthy habits earlier in your life, you can carry them along into your golden years, Goyal said. “Chronological age doesn’t mean a whole lot — so, 65, 75, 85, it’s how you’re feeling that makes that difference, not that number,” Golden said.
