2. You Move with Ease and Confidence
Can you walk unassisted across a room? Climb stairs? Rise from a chair without using your hands?
These movements might seem simple, but they’re powerful indicators of physical resilience and overall longevity.
Why it matters:
Mobility is closely tied to independence and safety. The ability to move confidently reduces the risk of falls, improves heart health, and keeps joints and muscles strong. People who remain physically active into their 70s and beyond are far more likely to maintain a high quality of life.
What you can do:
Walk at least 30 minutes a day
Try chair yoga, tai chi, or gentle stretching
Use resistance bands or light weights to build strength
It’s never too late to move your body — even small steps can make a big difference.
3. You Eat a Balanced, Nourishing Diet
A healthy appetite and good eating habits are often overlooked signs of vitality — but they matter deeply, especially after 70.
Why it matters:
A well-rounded diet packed with fruits, vegetables, lean protein, healthy fats, and whole grains fuels your energy, protects your heart, supports brain function, and helps manage weight and blood sugar. On the other hand, poor nutrition increases your risk of fatigue, weakness, and illness.
What you can do:
Start your day with a protein-rich breakfast (like eggs or Greek yogurt)
