ADVERTISEMENT 3 Essentials for Aging Well
A Holistic Approach from Belmont Village
Don ’ t we all wish to know the secret to aging well ? While there may not be a single secret to a long-lived , healthy life , there are a few lifestyle elements we should all keep in mind . At Belmont Village Senior Living , residents have everything they need for maintaining a healthy lifestyle right at their fingertips — from staying active in the pool and fitness center to exquisite dining and a range of programming .
Backed by nearly 25 years of experience and research , Belmont Village recently shared three tips for aging well in mind , body and soul .
3 ESSENTIALS FOR AGING WELL
MIND
Brains , like bodies , need a daily workout . Good brain health helps build neuro-connections and cognitive reserve to draw on as we age . You can build cognitive reserve by learning something new or doing something that ’ s a mental stretch each day . For example , read an article and discuss it , do a crossword puzzle , or explore an interest you ’ ve always wanted to .
Using the mind and body together has even more benefit — dancing is perfect , as are sports and activities with strategies or complex moves . Belmont Village residents enjoy a variety of group fitness classes and a vibrant daily activity calendar , offering the opportunity to stretch the mind each day .
BODY
In our later years , maintaining preventative care and medical needs becomes even more imperative to aging well . However , as we age , it can become difficult to maintain our own care plans . Seek the help of a family member to organize doctor ’ s appointments and medication or consider a Senior Living community with on-site care staff . At Belmont Village , nurses are on-site 24 / 7 to support residents at a moment ’ s notice and maintain their care . Residents are also only a few steps away from onsite physical , speech and occupational therapists .
SOUL
Maintaining a sense of purpose helps nourish the soul at every age . Feeling that your life has meaning and that you are in control of it fosters positive attitudes and emotions and a healthier brain . Stay involved in faith organizations or volunteer groups to boost your sense of purpose . Staying social can also help — seek out community with your friends and family or group activities .
