Happy "Take Time for Health" Tuesday: Social Contact with My Health Partners

KEY #9 in the "!0 Keys to Healthy Aging" is Maintaining Healthy Social Contact, probably my favorite key! This morning, I already acted on this key as part of "Take Time for Health" Tuesday.

 

Here are some of the simple suggestions that the Center for Disease Control recommends through the "10 Keys to Healthy Aging" to remain healthy (I'm sure you can add many yourselves). Looking forward to getting your email to hear your success stories:
