Whew. It's been quite a year, hasn't it?
While things like money issues, work-life balance, health and health care, sex in the workplace (or out of it), aging parents, children, siblings and other significant others have always been concerns for us in this so-called midlife, this year trumps all others (pardon the pun).
That's why it's especially important to pay attention to our health, now more than ever. With all this stress, health often is neglected or suffers.
While it's true that our bodies change as we age, growing older and dealing with issues doesn't have to mean giving in.
Admittedly, there is stuff that can happen as you age, but with a little effort, we can all be proactive and stay on top of—or avoid—these changes.
If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that we want to remain healthy, vital and fit.
Perhaps the most important tip of all is this: Don't expect to change your habits all at once. Make a few simple changes each day. They'll add up over time and soon enough will become lifelong habits. Share your tips and simple changes in the comments below.
Wishing a happy and healthy new year to each of you. I appreciate you being here!
