TL;DR

Geriatricians emphasize that aging well involves taking care of physical, emotional, and mental health. Signs of aging well include continuously learning new things, being honest about needs and seeking support, maintaining social connections, prioritizing physical health through exercise and a healthy diet, engaging in enjoyable activities, discussing medications with doctors, and planning for the future.
