The aging population study (part 2)

Although the article did not go through what we need or should do to prevent such "fate" or becoming a number in the statistics, I strongly suspect having a healthy lifestyle that includes healthy diet and regular physical activity/exercise would definitely help. Dieting in this case does not mean starving oneself to lose weight. My definition of dieting is balanced meals and snacks that will optimize both physical and mental state of a person. This "dieting" includes portion control, eating varied food sources, and making meals that are appealing in appearance.
