Your 60s are an exciting time filled with milestones like retirement, spending more time with friends and family, and focusing on yourself.

This decade can be filled with healthy, happy years if you take good care of yourself with the practical actions below.

1. Write important personal information to your family

I'm not talking about a fancy letter here. This is a letter with a list of important documents for you: bank passbooks, insurance contracts, security codes of accounts, safe deposit boxes...

"It's one of the most practical and valuable things you can do for your family, because it can help minimize confusion and conflict if something unexpected happens to you," says Mark Brown, co-owner of Brown & Tedstrom Wealth Management, a wealth management firm in Denver.

2. Exercise your mind

In general, cognitive function declines with age. However, certain parts of cognition are more likely to decline than others,” says Pouya Shafipour, MD, a board-certified physician with Paloma Health.

For example, recalling names, problem solving, and pattern recognition can become more difficult as we age.

To keep your brain sharp, it is important to exercise your mind as well as your body.

Staying socially connected and active in your community is key, as is working.

Having hobbies, learning new things, and opening yourself up to new experiences can also help keep you on top of your game."

3. Provide financial support to your children, if possible.

In their 60s, many grandparents have a significant amount of money saved for their old age. If you want to support the next generation of your family, consider sharing the financial burden of raising grandchildren with your children.

Depending on their financial situation, grandparents can give their children and grandchildren a fund, or help with the money they have.

On the other hand, if you are on a tight budget, this is the time to make some adjustments to your spending. This could be as simple as cutting down on personal expenses. By all means, enjoy the money you have.

4. Spend time with friends and family

The research is clear: Maintaining strong relationships with friends and family as we grow older is essential to a longer life.

“The surprising finding is that our relationships and how happy we are in our relationships have a powerful influence on our health,” says Robert Waldinger, a psychiatrist at Massachusetts General Hospital and professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.

“Taking care of your body is important, but taking care of your relationships is also a form of self-care. I think that's the revelation,” notes Dr. Waldinger.

5. Make yourself a top priority

As you enter your 60s and your children settle down, you should make yourself a top priority. Spend more time on yourself instead of constantly worrying about others.

There are many ways to take care of your body and mind. It is not necessary to go to the gym, you can choose suitable exercise methods to keep your weight stable.

At this stage, understand and accept your body image. Instead of chasing after the perfect body like when you were younger, or chasing trendy clothes and crazy skin care, it is important to learn to love yourself and embrace the changing perception of beauty after 60.

6. Practice mindfulness

Meditation is not only good for stress management, it can also slow down the rate at which your cells age.

Ivana Buric, Lead Investigator from the Brain, Belief and Behaviour Laboratory at the Centre for Psychology, Behaviour and Performance at Coventry University (USA), said: Millions of people around the world have enjoyed the health benefits of mind-body interventions such as yoga or meditation…

Simply put, mind-body interventions force the brain to direct our DNA processes in a way that improves our health, according to Eat This, Not That!

7. Make friends

Youth is a busy time with career, taking care of the house, children and raising them to adulthood, so you do not have much time for friends. At the threshold of 60, when the career has stopped at retirement, the children are grown up, you will have time to build relationships. It can be friends with common interests, views but not necessarily a lover.

According to Margaret Manning, a psychologist in her 60s, having good friends is essential for the health and well-being of middle-aged people. Living alone and having few social connections is as bad for a person's health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

Experts suggest spending time exploring your interests with like-minded people. You can make it a point to do at least one social activity every day.
