Healthy ageing is a lifelong process that starts long before retirement. Experts highlight daily habits—regular activity (including yoga and pranayama), sufficient sleep, balanced nutrition, stress management, social connection, and mindful living—that build vitality, independence, and reduce the risk of age-related health issues later in life.
The Harvard diet, developed in 2011, is gaining popularity among those interested in healthy ageing. The diet recommends filling half of your plate with vegetables and fruits, a quarter with whole grains, and a quarter with healthy protein. Cooking with healthy oils and limiting dairy consumption are also encouraged. Additionally, the diet emphasizes the importance of exercise, recommending at least 30 minutes of vigorous activity five times a week to prevent chronic diseases.
