Make a new friend and call me in the morning. That might be a prescription for aging well, according to Dr. John Dunlop, a geriatrics physician. Dunlop reminds us that healthy relationships are vital if we are going to live long and age well. Most people become less independent as they age, so Dunlop encourages patients to consider that when selling the family home or relocating to a better climate. Dunlop also explains the importance of a living will and gives basic steps you can take to remain physically healthy.
