What is ‘healthy aging’ to you?
U.S. Air Force Maj. Christopher Underwood, 86th Airlift Wing Chapel branch chief, seated in the Northside Chapel on Ramstein Air Base, Germany, Sept. 13, 2017, says that Spirituality and Religion offer a variety of benefits as people age. “I believe that healthy aging is the integration of spirituality and religion into all other aspects of life; physical, mental, and social. They can foster positive relationship opportunities, community, a sense of belonging, and can also contribute to long-term healthy mental and physical health. Additionally, they also assist in an individual’s search for meaning and purpose in life, as well as the challenges of mortality.” (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Savannah L. Waters)
