30 Secrets All Baby Boomers Need to Know About Money

2. Maintain Your Health

It’s no secret that health can deteriorate with age, and developing a chronic illness could result in paying more for doctor visits and prescription medications.
You can’t always control your health — some illnesses occur spontaneously or due to genetics. Even so, being proactive and making healthier choices could prevent some illnesses, reduce your healthcare costs and keep your medical bills low.
You might slow down physically and have less energy in your 50s, 60s and 70s, but there are plenty of ways to stay active and healthy as an older adult.

For example, find time for regular physical activity such as walking, biking or swimming. Maintain a healthy level of stress. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts and whole grains may also contribute to better health, helping you maintain a healthy weight and reduce inflammation.
