Staying well after 60 doesn't have to be complicated. Small daily habits add up to a big difference over time.
Nutrition
Prioritise protein (it helps maintain muscle mass), eat plenty of colourful vegetables, and stay well hydrated.
Movement
A 30-minute daily walk, swimming, gentle yoga or tai chi all count. Find something you enjoy and make it part of your routine.
Sleep
Aim for 7–8 hours. Maintain a regular bedtime, limit caffeine after noon, and keep your bedroom cool and dark.
Mental wellbeing
Social connection is as important as physical health. Stay in touch with friends and family, join a club or class, volunteer in your community.
Preventive care
Stay on top of regular health checks: blood pressure, cholesterol, eye tests, hearing tests and any cancer screening appropriate for your age.
