Staying active, curious, playful, and connected may be the real “secret” to healthy aging. Inspired by Dick Van Dyke’s new book, this article breaks down simple habits that support strength, mobility, and joy well into later life.

Research shows many adults 65+ struggle with daily activities — but staying active changes everything. Strength, mobility, and social connection all improve confidence and independence. Healthy aging starts with movement, and it’s never too late to begin.
