- Watch what you eat and drink. It sounds obvious, but having a balanced diet is crucial for good health, energy and preventing illness. An ideal diet should be low in saturated fat, with lots of fruit and vegetables, wholegrains, oily fish, and small amounts of low-fat dairy and lean meat.
- Look after your teeth. Brush your teeth twice a day and floss daily. Floss helps to prevent gum disease by removing pieces of food and plaque from between the teeth.
- Stay active. Daily exercise helps you to stay strong and healthy. This will lower your risk of obesity, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and even cancer.
- Make the most of your doctor. It’s a good idea to get some routine tests done at the doctors to check your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. High readings increase your risk factor for stroke and heart disease but any problems are completely reversible with medication.
- Your cardiovascular system. The most common change in the cardiovascular system is stiffening of the blood vessels and arteries, causing your heart to work harder to pump blood through them.
- Your bones, joints and muscles. With age, bones tend to shrink in size and density, weakening them and making them more susceptible to fracture.
- Your digestive system. Age-related structural changes in the large intestine can result in more constipation in older adults. Other contributing factors include a lack of exercise, not drinking enough fluids and a low-fiber diet.
- Your bladder and urinary tract. Your bladder may become less elastic as you age, resulting in the need to urinate more often. Weakening of bladder muscles and pelvic floor muscles may make it difficult for you to empty your bladder completely or cause you to lose bladder control (urinary incontinence).

Your body mass index(BMI) is a ratio of your weight and height. Your practice nurse will be happy to work yours out for you. It may seem unfair that the 'ideal', 'overweight' and 'obese' weight ranges for a given height don't change as you get older. However, these ranges are based on the life expectancy of millions of people - they actually come f...
Lots of my patients complain of putting on weight after the menopause, but their particular issue is often that most of the weight accumulates around their midriff. The hormonal changes of the menopause may make you more prone to being an 'apple' (excess weight on the tummy) rather than a 'pear' (weight on hips and thighs). This can increase your r...
When my children were small, I marvelled at their endless supplies of energy - but I never thought it odd that I couldn't match them. You can't expect to be on the go all the time as you get older, but neither should you assume that being tired all the timeis normal. One of the keys that I look for when a patient complains of tiredness is whether i...
Here's the bad news. By the age of 65, about half of people have osteoarthritis(OA) - the most common 'wear and tear' joint problem in the UK. The good news is that 80% of them aren't significantly affected by it. As you age, your hips, knees, spine and hands are most affected by OA, which can cause pain, stiffness and reduced movement, often worse...
Who hasn't had the odd 'senior moment', where you get to the kitchen and forget what you went in there for? That's perfectly normal for most people, especially if we're busy, stressed or getting older. Speak to your doctor if it's happening very often; if you're also having problems concentrating; or if you get confused if you're in a new environme...

Normal signs of ageing. People often forget things more as they get older. Most often this is a normal sign of ageing. Generally, if a problem is mildly annoying but doesn’t affect your ability to do things in everyday life, then it’s unlikely to be a sign of dementia. For example, many people find as they get older that they are more likely to:
