Stretch Your Muscles
Keeping your muscles loose and limber will improve your posture and increase mobility. There are many types of stretches and senior exercises you can benefit from. Be sure to consult with a doctor or trainer stretching on your own.
Clean Up Your Act
Breaking cycles doesn’t have to be impossible, and you don’t have to do it alone. There are support groups for smoking cessation, overeating, excess drinking, and so on, as well as new and alternative therapies. Old habits are hard to kick, but you’ll feel great once you set healthy goals.
Water
The body is 90% water, and staying hydrated is one of the best ways to keep yourself looking and feeling your best. Fill up a water bottle and keep it with you throughout the day.
Update Your Look
An update doesn’t have to mean ditching your old look for a new one. Mix it up by adding a few new things to your arsenal of old favorites.
Dance!
Dancing is a great way to get a little cardio into your day, and you can do it at home - even while you’re tidying up.
Protect Your Skin
It’s never too late to care for your skin. If you don’t want to bother with fancy creams or gels, consider using a simple, high-SPF and oil-free sunblock.
Find a Hairstyle You Love
A new ‘do can make all the difference, and so can the right stylist. Depending on what you want to do – or not do – with your hair, choose a stylist who is knowledgeable and experienced with what’s on your head.
Use the Good Stuff
There's no reason not to! Of if you'd like to pick and choose which products and services to splurge on and what to do on the cheap, read up on the subject. Lifestyle magazines and websites are the best sources for up-to-date info.
Accept Change
Just as we change over time, so do our bodies. The best thing you can do for yourself is make choices that are the best for you now, not you five, ten, or twenty years ago. You’ll feel better, and look great!
