KHC Health & Wellness

Aloha ‘Ohana!

To stay healthy as you age, focus on these 10 simple daily steps. Exercise regularly to build strength and balance. Eat healthy foods and get enough sleep. Keep your brain active and see your doctor for regular check-ups. Manage stress, stay socially connected, find a sense of purpose, and keep a positive mindset.

Be active: Aim for consistent movement. Start strength training (like squats or band exercises) to build muscle and prevent falls.

Eat well: Focus on a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats while limiting sodium
Practice prevention: Remove tripping hazards at home and attend annual vision, dental, and health screenings.

Understand your health status: Manage your medications and follow your doctor’s plan.
Get enough sleep: Getting good rest helps your body heal, supports your memory, and improves your mood.

Stay socially engaged: Connect with friends and family to prevent loneliness, which can harm your health.

Manage your mental habits: Focus on resilience and optimism, which lower stress and support good decision-making.

Control stress: Build calming habits like resting, meditating, or walking in nature to keep your nerves balanced.

Find your purpose: Have a reason to wake up each day—like work, creativity, or helping others—to stay emotionally grounded.

Keep your brain sharp: Cognitive decline is not guaranteed. Learn new skills, read, or do puzzles to protect your memory.

Take care and have a great day!
