healthily is not just a matter of luck, it is also a matter of anticipation.
According to experts, what happens around the age of 60 largely determines the
quality of life in the decades that follow. It is at this age that the first
signs of frailty or the onset of chronic diseases such as hypertension, type 2
diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cognitive disorders, and certain
neurodegenerative conditions can emerge, often silently. If you reach the age
of 75 without any chronic conditions, you are very unlikely to develop any new
ones. However, maintaining your health after the age of 60 requires active
vigilance, including quitting smoking, daily physical activity, a balanced
diet, and regular screening. All of these habits, when combined, will help you
remain independent for longer.
