How many times have you wished you had a crystal ball to see how you would age? Life holds many mysteries, and no one knows exactly how their lives will play out as they age. People feel better when they actively take part in managing their mental and physical health because it gives them some control over the aging process. There are many ways to do this. The following are a few good bets.

Understand hormone imbalances and be sure to treat them. As you age, many of the more difficult challenges are caused by imbalances in your hormones. This includes issues like depression, insomnia and weight increases. Go to your doctor if you are feeling off in any way and have yourself tested. Doctors can put you on a plan for supplementing your hormones.

If you want to keep looking young, laugh! And do it often! Watch funny TV shows, read jokes on the internet or go see a comedian. Make sure you include daily doses of laughter. Laughing will keep you looking young, and can also extend your life.

If you make sure to have money to live on in your old age, you’ll reduce the amount of stress you’ll be under and maintain your quality of life. Take some time to analyze your finances, and see if you can prepare for some of the eventualities associated with aging. If you do, you’ll be able to better afford medical care, food, housing, etc.

Successfully maintaining your attitude and health as you age does not need to be difficult or time consuming. Just follow these steps, and be on the lookout for other ways to increase your odds of living to a ripe, old age and loving every minute of it. Growing older might just become the most rewarding phase of your life.
