Getting older can bring senior health challenges. By being aware of these common chronic conditions, you can take steps to stave off disease as you age.⠀

Making healthy lifestyle choices, like quitting smoking and losing weight, can help you avoid senior health risks, though “you also need to be physically active and eat a healthy diet.” One of the threats to senior health is depression. Depression can lower immunity and can compromise a person’s ability to fight infections. ⠀
⠀
In addition to treatment with medication and therapy, other ways to improve older people’s healthy living might be to increase physical activity, let them get enough sleep, spend their free time with family and friends. ⠀
