Growing older brings wisdom and experience, but it can also bring new health challenges. At Artemis Hospitals, we understand that life after 60 requires proactive care and informed choices to stay healthy and active.
“After 60, the body undergoes changes that can increase the risk of conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes,
joint pain, and memory decline,” says Dr. Chatterjee. “But with the right lifestyle choices, these challenges can be managed — and even prevented.”
Key Health Challenges After 60:
Heart Health: Aging blood vessels can raise the risk of
high blood pressure and heart disease. Eating heart-healthy foods, staying physically active, and regular monitoring are crucial.
Diabetes: Reduced activity and slower metabolism raise
diabetes risk. A diet rich in fiber, regular walks, and routine sugar checks can help manage blood sugar levels.
Cognitive Decline: Staying mentally engaged with activities like puzzles and reading, getting quality sleep, and maintaining social connections can support brain health.
Joint Pain & Arthritis: Gentle exercise, weight management, and a calcium-rich diet help reduce joint stiffness and pain.
Osteoporosis: Strong bones are supported by vitamin D, calcium, safe surroundings, and strength-building exercises to prevent falls.
“Regular checkups, a balanced diet, daily movement, and staying socially connected make a big difference in aging well,” Dr. Chatterjee emphasizes.
Artemis Hospitals remains committed to helping seniors lead vibrant, independent lives through expert geriatric care and personalized support.
