We all hope to have the privilege of growing older. With that privilege comes great responsibility to care for your body and mind, which is why we’re dedicating this digital issue to aging well.
A body in motion has the likelihood of staying in motion, so movement—while seemingly simple—is a significant part of staying healthy as you get older. This doesn’t come without challenges, though. Pain, brittle bones, fatigue, and much more can influence your movement aspirations. In this issue, we explore potential barriers to regular movement and how to overcome those. In addition to the benefits of movement on your body, it also positively impacts your brain and mental state.
We also discuss how menopause can affect you as you age (spoiler alert: It can affect you in many ways) and highlight how your sexual and mental health evolve throughout the years. While difficulties can arise as we age, there are also amazing things that can happen, which we celebrate in this issue.
At the core of every aging touchpoint is a common theme: advocate for your health. To highlight this, we are fortunate to have Fran Drescher—the ‘90s sitcom icon—as our cover star. Drescher shares her experiences and tips for healthy aging, reminding us to listen to our bodies and speak up. You are in control of your health destiny. Let us help you make choices in good health that will benefit you in the future.
