People's health in their 70s varies a lot. Some people are completely healthy while others have multiple illnesses. No matter what your condition, there is a lot you can do to improve your health, prevent illnesses, and keep your brain sharp. Live with purpose - engage in meaningful activities Prioritize sleep  Avoid falls - keep strong & active  Engage your brain Eat healthy  Keep sexually active with your spouse   Whatever your age, it is important to become a master of your health. This means understanding your health risks and concerns and learning how to properly manage them. Don't just take your medications; know their names, what they are for, and how to take them properly. Keep your regularly scheduled healthcare provider's appointments, knowing which lab tests need to be done (and when). When in doubt, ask questions. It is sometimes a good idea to bring a friend or family member with you if you are unclear about what the healthcare provider is telling you. The more you know, the more informed your choices will be. -------------------------------------- For more information about the hosts, please visit their websites and follow them on social media: Dr. Glenda Shepard - Doctor of Nursing Practice/Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner/Certified Nutrition Coach/Certified Personal Trainer/Certified Intrinsic Coach https://www.triumphantwomancoaching.com/ FB - https://www.facebook.com/glenda.shepard1   Robin McCoy - Certified McIntyre Seal Team Six Coach and John Maxwell Team Trainer/Speaker/Coach https://www.thewellnessfactor.coach/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/RobinRMcCoy FB - https://www.facebook.com/robin.mccoy1   Produced by KB Podcasts Music from https://app.soundstripe.com/
