2 – Embrace A Healthy Lifestyle

“The greatest wealth is health.” ~Virgil

Wealth means little if your health doesn’t allow you to enjoy it. Our bodies
wear down as we age, but with exercise and good eating, we can forestall,
and in some cases, reverse the effects of aging.

A healthy lifestyle requires engagement with family, friends, community.
Cultivate interests and pursue your favorite activities with the luxury of
leisure Our Fourth Age can afford. Live the dream!
