Healthy Aging Month: At Any Age, Life is Just Beginning\u2026\"Healthy<\/h1>\n

Age is just a number. It certainly doesn\u2019t have to define a person or predict a person\u2019s destiny based on preconceived notions of what is expected at certain stages of life. In fact, even as a senior, life can just begin, or even better, it can be the starting point to something beautiful.<\/span><\/p>\n

This sentiment was best expressed in the movie, \u201c<\/span>The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel<\/span><\/a>,\u201d the sequel to the 2012 British comedy-drama film, \u201cThe Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.\u201d The continuation of the Exotic Marigold Hotel brings together, yet again an all-star cast of seniors, including Judi Dench and Richard Gere, who are seeking happiness and meaning at an unconventional and surprisingly charming hotel in India.<\/span><\/p>\n

In honor of Healthy Aging Month<\/strong>\u00a0this September, here are some inspirational quotes and tips from the heart-warming films that are wonderful reminders to keep exploring and discovering new adventures, regardless of age, in an effort to live a happier, healthier and more rewarding life:<\/span><\/p>\n
