Evidence shows that your lifestyle can have an enormous impact on your health as you grow older. People who are physically active, eat well and maintain a healthy weight are less likely to get heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers or have a stroke.

 

Being physically active can also be good for your mood, your energy and your self-confidence. It’s a great way to meet new people too.

NHS services can help you to stay well and keep living life the way you want to. Knowing what services are available and what you are entitled to can make practical and positive differences to your day-to-day life. For example, with the right help you could stay in your own home instead of having to move into residential care.

 

Visit the men's health for over 60s and women's health for over 60s sections of the NHS Choices website for more information including available services.
