* Exercise is as important now as it was earlier in life. Doctors recommend stretching to stay limber and engaging in some aerobic activity, such as walking, to keep the heart rate up and to slow artery hardening. Proper calcium intake remains key.
* The sense of taste and smell may not be as acute as they once were, but salt is not the answer. Eating dishes that stimulate the senses through color and texture, such as dark, leafy vegetables flavored with olive oil, is a healthy option, says naturopath Sullivan.
* Hair may thin. Body-building shampoos can help keep it healthy and give it a fuller appearance.
