In Atlanta's Primetime Senior's program, women in their 60s, 70s, and 80s gather for free classes,

like yoga, line dancing, and computer. Lessons to stay sharp, both mentally and physically.

A new study backs up what these women already know. A positive attitude toward aging is the

real key to thriving in later years. More than any pill or diet. These seniors credit their

upbeat mindset for keeping them moving. 166 year old says she avoids sitting idle after caring

for inactive family members, while her friends in their 60s and 70s agree that waking up each day

is reason enough to stay happy and active. Experts note that stereotypes of inevitable decline

aren't always true. Researcher Becca Levy drew inspiration from swimmer Diana Niyad,

who conquered a 110-mile swim from Cuba to Florida at age 64.

Thanks in part to the mental strength that comes with age, neurosurgeon John Adler explains

that aging brains often become more efficient by pruning unneeded connections,

leading to clearer thinking. Practical tips include setting small daily goals,

focusing on controllable habits like exercise and healthy eating and surrounding yourself with,

optimistic people, programs like Primetime Seniors build lasting friendships and motivation,

proving that staying engaged turns the page on aging with energy and purpose.
