Healthy Aging

By | November 8, 2008

In Bangladesh, The Daily Star bills itself as “journalism without fear or favour.”  Here’s an excerpt of an article published today with the headline, “Towards a healthy aging”.

“Your mental and emotional health is important. Protect or improve your emotional health by staying in touch with friends, family, and the community. People who feel connected to others are more likely to thrive than those who are not. And try to keep stress at a minimum. Depression can be a serious problem for older adults. If you think you may be depressed, seek help from psychiatrist.”

“If you take good care of your body and learn positive ways to deal with stress now, you can slow down or even prevent problems that often come with getting older.”
