7.Bones and Joints
Aging and not moving enough can turn your body creaky. Watch out for weak muscles and achy joints that snap and pop. Ask your doctor if calcium and vitamin D supplements may strengthen your bones. If you’re a woman, get a bone scan at 65 for osteoporosis, the “brittle” bone disease. Men should talk to their doctor to see if osteoporosis screening is right for them.
8.Sleep Quality
Even in your 60s, you still need 7 to 9 hours of slumber every night. But a good snooze can be harder to come by. As you age, your body makes and releases less of the sleep hormone melatonin. That can keep you from falling — and staying — in deep, restful sleep. Daytime naps throw things off, too.
