f growing older is such a natural process in the human condition, why do we fear it so much? Ageing can be a challenging and daunting process for us all, with some activities becoming affected by factors such as mobility and illness. Instead of feeling anxious and ignoring the inevitable it is important that we instead try and embrace the change, considering which steps to take to help make those later years rich and satisfying. Small changes to your daily routine such as eating healthier and getting more exercise can make a big difference in keeping you fit and healthy. These changes can also help to reduce the physical signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles and a decline in your physical ability. Getting more exercise doesn’t have to be seen as a chore or strenuous activity, it can be as simple as walking to the shop instead of driving or meeting a friend for a leisurely walk instead of a coffee. We also take a look at the range of services and companies within Northern Ireland that not only focus on helping deal with the aging process but also on helping those living with a disability. Through the work and dedication of these charities and mobility services, people living with a disability can overcome obstacles and manage everyday activities independently.
