To stay healthy and happy as you age, it's important to take care of yourself in different ways. This includes staying active, maintaining social connections, keeping yourself mentally stimulated, and finding balance emotionally. It's also important to take care of your financial needs and to remain independent while still having support and security. By paying attention to your physical, emotional, social, and psychological needs, you can achieve the best possible outcomes for your wellbeing in the long run.
