Quotes to ponder:

"The stronger our relationships, the more likely we are to live happy, satisfying, and overall healthier lives."

"Those who stay healthy comprise nearly one-third of today’s 65-year-olds and are expected never to need long-term care support."

"Efforts to be healthier on the margin, such as finding a walking group or tennis buddies, can help across multiple dimensions."
