Women sometimes stay 5 to six years longer than males. But that further time isn’t essentially spent in good well being — on common, ladies spend the final decade of their lives coping with a cascade of well being points.
On this episode of Aging Forward, Maddy Dychtwald shares ideas for benefiting from these later years. She distinguishes between age accelerants and decelerants, and suggests workout routines and habits to increase one’s lifespan, brainspan and healthspan.
