Health and Wellbeing
As we reach our sixties, health and wellbeing naturally become significant priorities, shaping our ability to enjoy life fully. Turning sixty in the UK today means not only navigating physical changes but also embracing mental and emotional growth. Let’s explore some of the key areas of health and wellbeing relevant to this vibrant phase of life.
Getting a good night’s sleep is one of life’s simplest yet most important pleasures. However, as we move beyond sixty, achieving quality sleep can become increasingly challenging. Understanding why sleep issues arise and implementing practical strategies can make a substantial difference, leading to better overall health and wellbeing.
Eating well is a cornerstone of healthy ageing, offering a host of benefits from increased energy levels to reduced risk of chronic diseases. As we enter our sixties and beyond, understanding our nutritional needs and adopting a diet that supports longevity becomes even more crucial. Here we explore practical nutrition tips along with tasty, easy-to-prepare meal ideas designed specifically for adults over 60.
Retirement is a significant life transition, bringing both exciting possibilities and new challenges. For many, it’s an opportunity to pursue long-held dreams and interests, but it can also trigger feelings of uncertainty or loss of identity. Building emotional resilience can be key to navigating this change positively, making retirement one of the most fulfilling phases of life.

Lee Janogly – Staying Active and Positive at 84
I recently came across an article in the Telegraph about a fitness instructor called Lee Janogly. Now 84, Lee is a remarkable example of how an active, balanced lifestyle can sustain strength, flexibility, and joy into later life. Although she hated exercise as a child, everything changed after the birth of her third child in her twenties, when she discovered dance fitness classes taught by future stars like Arlene Phillips. This discovery led her to train as a fitness instructor, eventually running her own studio and, today, still teaching four exercise classes each week.
