Rowe and R.L. Khan suggest that aging well is as simple as preventing disease, staying socially active and maintaining our physical and cognitive functions.(1) People can prevent or reduce their 1 risks of chronic diseases or dementia by making changes to their daily lives.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]A <strong>healthy lifestyle<\/strong> is an important factor in decreasing dementia risks: getting enough good quality sleep, managing stress, balancing your diet, limiting alcohol consumption and avoiding tobacco are common recommendations. <strong>Regular physical activity<\/strong> also contributes to the wellbeing of the body and mind.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\u201cHigh blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and overweight need to be managed. <strong>Vascular health<\/strong> is important to prevent heart disease, but it is also a risk factor for Alzheimer\u2019s,\u201d says Dr. Quoc Dinh Nguyen, a geriatrician at Centre Hospitalier de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<strong>Regular social contact<\/strong> contributes to our mental health. It reduces depression and isolation, important risk factors for cognitive decline. Staying curious, continuing to learn, reading, and doing crossword puzzles also help maintain our cognitive functions.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>The importance of preserving your senses<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Visual acuity and hearing decrease with age. These changes have a direct impact on daily activities, such as reading or driving. In the long term, vision or hearing increases the risk of falling and undermines our quality of life, makes communication more difficult and reduces adaptation to aging.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd when other health problems arise, it is more difficult to put coping strategies in place when the person has difficulty hearing instructions or cannot read the dosage, for example,\u201d explains Mary Soueidan, an occupational therapist in Montreal.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]There are many solutions for hearing and vision loss. Consulting a healthcare professional as soon as you notice a change can help avoid complications and facilitate adaptation.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Aging brings changes of varying intensity. Prevention is the key to reducing risk factors, contributing to adaptation and, above all, maintaining quality of life and independence for as long as possible..[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]To read more about aging well, read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eugeria.ca\/en\">Eugeria\u2019s blog<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator border_width=&#8221;2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">John W.
