16. Stay Hydrated
The secret to optimal hydration? Replenishing electrolytes. These substances have a positive (+) or negative (-) electric charge when they dissolve in water or your blood and are essential for healthy energy levels, mental health, muscle contractions, blood flow, immune function, and really every biological process. Stay hydrated by reaching for a glass of water, instead of juice, coffee, or tea. Try water infused with electrolytes by adding fresh fruits (cucumbers, lemons, or strawberries) or herbs (mint) to your water.

17. Get Regular Lab Work
While it’s often easier to address physical, external elements of aging with preventive care, it’s not always clear when there might be something going on inside your body. Lab tests can evaluate things like bone density, neurotransmitter balance, hormone balance, blood sugar, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels—empowering you to own your health at every age.
18. Don’t Skimp on Oral Hygiene
It’s said that your mouth is a window to your overall health. That’s because the non-friendly bacteria in your mouth, if not taken care of, can affect the rest of your body. To support your oral hygiene as you age, maintain a consistent dental routine: brush and floss regularly (water flossers are great for thorough cleaning). Consider an oral probiotic and avoid sugary foods and drinks.
19. Spend Time in Nature
Nature is medicine. From sunset strolls on the beach to leisurely bike rides through the park or a hike on a mountain trail, it’s well-documented that being in nature has major health benefits. Time spent outdoors can lead to improved attention, better mood, lower stress, and even an increase in empathy.
