How do I stay healthy in my 50s, 60s and 70s? By focusing on certain areas – like nutrition, exercise and positive connections – you can age well in every decade

Genetics, lifestyle choices and environment are the factors that most affect your health, says @jenschrack.bsky.social. Regular appointments with a healthcare provider benefit all older people, and preventive care can improve longevity.

#physicalactivity, it’s more than just one number. Wearable trackers help help us understand movement and health at a deeper level.

Thanks for making me laugh. I needed that.

I’m heartbroken for my friends and colleagues at HHS. Yesterday’s events are a cruel reminder of the beating science is taking, with no regard for those who’ve dedicated their lives to improving the health of others. Yet as hopeless as it seems, we need to keep going. Otherwise they win.

Congrats Liz!
