It’s no secret that participating in physical activities at any age is one of the keys to living a long and healthy life. What researchers are increasingly discovering, however, is that longevity and good health are also tied closely with staying active socially and mentally. There are many hobbies for seniors that can achieve one or more of these goals.

The right choice for you
Isolation is one of the biggest problems among older folks. There are many ways to get out and get moving that don’t cost a dime. Playing cards or games with friends or volunteering somewhere are both free and good for your emotional health. Exercise can also be a great way to get out of the house and around other people. Joining a gym, a yoga studio or a ballroom dance group not only improves fitness but have the added benefit of providing an opportunity to socialize. All of these things challenge your brain as well, which has been proven to help ward off the effects of aging.
One of the most relaxing and rewarding things you can do in your senior years is to consider adopting a pet. Having a little creature to take care of and keep you company can literally add years to your life! Pets have been shown to lower blood pressure and decrease depression and dogs in particular make great walking partners.
