Incorporating exercise, eating nutritiously and engaging your mind can make a big difference. Schneck's Lifestyle Medicine approach emphasizes these habits and supports making changes. We aim to reduce chronic conditions and improve your quality of life.

Add More Movement to Your Routine

Physical activity supports strength, flexibility and health as you age. Activities like walking or biking can keep your heart and muscles strong. We encourage you to find enjoyable ways to stay active. You can join a community sports or activity group or even take daily walks with friends. Regular exercise helps improve your body and mood, so look for fun ways to move.

Nourish Your Body with Nutritious Foods

Eating well, alongside exercise, is essential for healthy aging. Vegetables, fruits, proteins and grains can help maintain a healthy weight and prevent diseases. Schneck Nutrition Services offers personalized eating plans and dietary counseling. Our providers collaborate to create a nutrition plan that meets your needs. This includes detailed meal plans, nutritional education and support for choosing better options.

Keep Your Mind Sharp with Mental Stimulation

Staying mentally active is as important as exercising. Limiting screen time and participating in stimulating activities such as reading or puzzles can maintain cognitive function. Explore hobbies and interests that challenge your brain and keep you mentally sharp. Whether taking up a new hobby or participating in community events, staying mentally active contributes to a healthy life.
