What is "Healthy Aging?"
-
Engage in physical activity
-
Cultivate a good attitude
Notes:
- Just as medical science is making advancements to prolong life, people
are asking profound questions about what it means to be "old." Some
aging specialists are emphasizing the positive of reaching older adulthood.
We see increased us of phrases such as: "lifelong learning," "productive
aging," and "active aging." Occasionally, people even make
up their own words; for example, Jim Gambone coined the term "refirement"
as a substitute for "retirement."
