Staying energized as we age: what really works?

The life it's a game
Lately I’ve been reading a lot about how people try different approaches to keep their energy up and recover faster as they get older. Some swear by changes in diet, others rely on exercise routines, and then there are all kinds of supplements or treatments people talk about.


I’m curious — what’s worked best for you personally when it comes to maintaining energy and feeling good day to day?
 
Enthusiasm.

As long as I'm happy and enthusiastic about what I'm doing I seem to have plenty of energy. I don't seem to get as excited about things as I used to when I was younger though and that enthusiasm doesn't happen as often. I definitely started slowing down once I got over 45. Now I'm 60 I can spend weeks at a time doing nothing.
 
Eating a good diet, staying hydrated with plain water, moderately exercising, having close, loving bonds with my family and assorted friends, and getting good medical advice and care. It helps we are financially comfortable and that I am not (yet) stressed out about money. Worrying about money can take years off your life.
