- Find an activity. From playing with the grandchildren to pickleball to pool based exercise find something that gets your blood moving. Make sure it falls within the spectrum for safety needs (pool exercise).

- Socialize. All blue zones have great social encouragement. Blue zones are areas where people are aging and living past 100 more commonly than other areas. It’s not just the food they eat.

‘Movement is life;’ and it is well to be able to forget the past, and kill the present by continual change. – Jules Verne
