As someone who wakes up, turns on the TV, eats a cookie, and then sits at my desk to write, some might say I’m rather sedentary. That is not the case for my mother and many of her friends<\/a> at the senior living facility<\/a> where they reside. In fact, I’ve never seen such an active group of people in my life\u2014and most of them are in their 80s, 90s, and even 100s. Time and again, experts <\/a>stress the importance of not only physical exercise and a healthy diet, but also mental stimulation in order to stay spry. Obviously, nothing can stave off the inevitable, but there are countless examples of people who swear by staying on the go to stay sharp well into old age. <\/p>\n

Games keep their minds alert<\/h2>\n

My mom’s posse starts early in the day with Mexican Train<\/a> (a dominos game) and they mean business, as plenty play for money. This is popular among the residents, as is Bridge and Mahjong, the latter being where my mom truly shines. I sat in on a Mahjong game and watched as they laser-focused on the tiles in order to build a winning hand. Some of them wanted to use the time for chitchat, while others were a bit more rigid with the gameplay aspect. But as we left (after two hours) they all seemed much lighter in spirt.<\/p>\n

A Texas A&M University School of Public Health research study<\/a> <\/em>reports, “Older people with mild cognitive impairment who engage in high levels of activities such as word games and hobbies have better memory, working memory, attention and processing speed than those who do not.”<\/p>\n

Group meetings help them stay engaged<\/h2>\n

Whether it’s sitting together in the dining hall or attending an art class to bead a purse, the idea of being together seems to help the seniors’ sense of belonging. Book club is especially popular (though I’m told it often gets heated) because they become exposed to literature that might have been outside their usual realm and discuss it in depth.<\/p>\n

In 2024 Forbes<\/em> published a piece <\/a>about how senior citizens can stay young, healthy and fit, noting, “Regular social interactions, participating in community activities, and staying connected with loved ones can contribute to a sense of belonging, purpose, and happiness.”<\/p>\n

The National Institute of Aging<\/a> <\/em>reports that non-engagement can cause both mental and physical decline. They note, “Studies show that loneliness and social isolation are associated with higher risks for health problems such as heart disease, depression, and cognitive decline.”<\/p>\n

The seniors at my mom’s home have sharp political discussions too. The facility brings in someone to make sure the residents are getting a balanced, non-partisan range of news from various outlets. I watched one of these meetings and it was encouraging to see seniors having civil discourse from all sides of the political spectrum.<\/p>\n

There are also church and temple services for those who wish, and guided meditation groups (which my mom loves) where they’re encouraged to write down their feelings.<\/p>\n

One friend sits on what’s called the Citizen Council to advocate for residents. “They meet often, and resolve nothing,” my mother shadily notes, but still\u2014it fills time and keeps them busy.<\/p>\n

Staying physically active<\/h2>\n

According to the Canadian Association Medical Journal<\/a><\/em>, the elderly are not getting enough exercise by and large. Writer Kristen Fischer shares that, “In the United States, about 13.9% of adults aged 65 or more years meet federal physical activity guidelines for both aerobic and muscle-strengthening activities. Fischer also quotes Jane Thornton, MD, who is an associate professor at the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry in Ontario, saying, “\u201cPhysical activity is one of the most important ways to preserve or improve functional independence, including among older adults who are frail or deemed to be at increased risk of falling,\u201d <\/p>\n

To touch base with her younger self, my mom decided to create her own dance class. Having been a professional dancer (she danced with the Austin Ballet Company), she was missing that side of herself in her new home. Though she’s now on a walker, as are many of the residents, that didn’t stop her. With the help of a staff member, she created “Dances with Walkers,” wherein she personally chose a hard beat-driven playlist so that people could dance with their walkers, scooters, and canes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Just plain fun<\/h2>\n

One of my mom’s friends said to me, plain and simple, “Just because we’re older, doesn’t mean we don’t want to have a good time. I wake up every day and think I’m 30. Then I look in the mirror.” <\/p>\n

To that end, the gang is involved in monthly karaoke and weekly entertainment. “Tony Macaroni is often here,” my mom shares. “As long as his hearing aids are working, he sounds great!”<\/p>\n

Having purpose<\/h2>\n

In The Washington Post<\/em> article “Centenarians share their longevity formula: ‘Staying busy gives you purpose,’<\/a> author Sydney Page writes that a 100-year-old woman took a part-time job at Home Depot and claims, “That’s what keeps me sharp.”<\/p>\n

One of the commenters on this piece shared, “I once chatted with a woman who was volunteering at the local senior center. She did it, she said, to help out ‘the old dears.’ She was pushing 90 at the time.” <\/p>\n

Another writes, “Live till you die. Make the Reaper have to work to get his quota when you’re on his list. Most of all, treat your body such that you’ll be able to climb into the casket when it’s your time.”<\/p>\n

This isn’t to say all of this activity is easy. My mom, for example, is hard of hearing and can’t see well. She gets tired easily and sometimes has to push beyond her exhaustion. This is part of what makes watching her (and many of her friends) so inspiring. They may see someone else when they look in the mirror, but when they’re singing and dancing, the best parts of themselves reappear. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
