A Balanced Senior: Tips on How to Maintain a Balanced Lifestyle as a Senior Citizen

Credit: Freepik.com Colliecia Wright/Media Intern A balanced lifestyle refers to having a sense of control and well-being in all areas of life. According to an article published by Physio West, written by Bec Clare (2020), balanced living involves achieving optimal health in various aspects including relationships, work, fitness, health, and emotional happiness.
