How to support your physical health and well-being

Supporting your well-being means taking care of both your body and mind. Quality sleep, a healthy diet, stress management and regular physical activity all play an important role in how you feel every day. Here are 6 ways to help support your physical health and well-being:

Stay active

Daily movement can help keep your mind and body healthy. Start small — take short walks or find an activity you enjoy, such as gardening. Every step counts.

Eat well

Nutritious, balanced meals fuel the body and make it easier to maintain a healthy weight. Add more fruits and vegetables, and try to drink a large glass of water after every meal.

Sleep well

Restful sleep helps your body fight off sickness and supports your overall health. Aim for 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night.

Manage stress

Stress can impact how you feel physically and emotionally. If stress from life events, relationships or chronic conditions is affecting you, talk to your provider about support options.

Maintain your preventive care

Regular check-ups may help you stay healthy and keep you on track with screenings.

Manage chronic conditions

If you’re managing a chronic condition, improving your physical wellness may feel challenging. Work with your provider to create a plan that works for you or find clinical support programs.

How moving more could make a difference

Regular movement may help you manage chronic conditions, build strength and improve your overall outlook on life. Even short daily walks have been shown to help lower blood pressure, improve sleep quality and boost your mood.1 Increasing your physical activity may help improve your overall health and wellness in a variety of ways.

Enjoying a more positive outlook

Regular physical activity is linked to a lower risk of anxiety, increased independence and a sharper mind. Research has also shown that staying active may lead to a sense of purpose and a more positive perception of aging.1

Building stronger bones and muscles

As you age, muscle and bone mass naturally decline, which may increase your risk of falling. More than 1 in 4 people over the age of 65 experience a fall each year.2 Staying physically active helps strengthen your bones, build muscle and improve balance to help you reduce your fall risk.

Lowering the risk of disease

Exercise has been shown to help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes.3 Staying active may also improve immune function and support brain health. Studies have found that just being active around the house can lower your risk of dementia by up to 40%.4

Feeling more energetic

Moving more helps increase energy and endurance. Having more energy can help you stay connected with friends and family and keep doing the things you enjoy.

Did you know?

Just 20-30 minutes of moderate activity a day can help lower your risk of chronic conditions like heart disease and diabetes.5 Playing golf, walking the dog or even doing light household chores may make a lasting impact on your health.

How to get more active

Staying active doesn’t have to be complicated. Consistent movement can make a big difference in your strength, independence and confidence. Focus on these 3 key areas to help keep your body strong and resilient.

Build strength

Strength training isn’t just for building muscles. It’s also a proven way to help prevent falls, keep your heart strong, regulate blood sugar levels and maintain a healthy weight. Consistently engaging in activities like pickleball, or resistance training with small dumbbells or rubber tension bands, can help make a difference.

Improve balance and stability

Maintaining a strong core is key to your balance and stability. Daily walks, gentle yoga and balance-building exercises may help improve your coordination and keep you steady on your feet.

Increase flexibility

Flexibility helps keep your joints healthy and may make daily tasks easier. Gentle stretching and yoga may help prevent injury, ease chronic pain and improve your mobility.
