AARP can see and feel the trends. People 50 and older are more active, both physically and mentally, than ever before. They aren’t slowing down. In fact, they are preparing themselves to do more of the things they love. So many older adults are exercising and eating right daily; they are taking the time to learn new things, and they know the importance of life balance, making sure that leisure and fun are significant parts of their healthy lifestyle.
