Series ~ I want to help you age wonderfully. For the next several weeks I’ll have tips on easy lifestyle choices plus the foods that support your brain health, cardiovascular health, gut health & healthy aging. Living your best life is the combination of the little healthy habits you cultivate. And the earlier you start the better you’ll feel as you get older. I’m here to help you add those healthy habits to your day, week, month….your life. Health is not a race ~ it’s a journey ~ and I’d love to go on that journey with you. Let’s age wonderfully together. #agewonderfully #agebetter #healthyaging #agewell #agepositive #agingbeautifully #overforty #overfifty #oversixty #agingisaprivilege #healthyhabitsforall #hearthealthydiet #brainhealthy #guthealthyfood

#fartwalk™ Walking after dinner can help reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The walk can be anywhere between 2-20 minutes ~ it’s the physical action of moving that increases the glucose uptake from your blood into your muscles ~ which reduces how much insulin your body needs to produce. And that can help reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. #fartwalk #agingwonderfully #agewonderfully #ageproudly #healthyaging #agepositive #agewell #betteraging #healthylifetips #diabetestype2 #diabetesprevention #brainhealthy #hearthealthy #reducediabetesrisk #fartwalk™ #agingisaprivilege #agingnaturally

Exploring Ontario ~ Upper Canada Village If you love history you’ll love visiting the recreated village circa 1860’s All the buildings are authentic and were moved to the village. We spent 6 hours talking to interpretives ~ people dressed in period costumes who share historical information about life in the 1860’s. We learned a ton and had the best time. Stayed on the property at Montgomery House ~ check out the Upper Canada Village website and tap on Visit and then Spend the Night. It was such a wonderful way to embrace the experience ~ wish we couldn’t have worn costumes 🥰 (once an actor always an actor) It was so fun! We were the last to leave 🤣🤣🤣 #uppercanadavillage #livingmuseum #SeniorsTravel, #GoldenYearsTravel, #TravelLaterInLife #SeniorAdventure, #ActiveSeniors, #VintageTravel, #Wanderlust #TravelGram #seniorsadventure #roadtrip #tourismontario #ontario #ontariotravel #exploreontario

Quebec City is a jewel. If you want a feeling of Europe visit this incredible city. Lots to see and do. Cashed in points and stayed at Chateau Frontenac. Loved our 2.5 days….could’ve stayed longer….next time. #quebeccity #chateaufrontenac #oldquebeccity #titanic🚢 #sagamiterestaurant @saga.qc #mairlynandscottsadventure2025 #roadtripcanada #visitquebec #adventureiscalling #healthyaging #agingwonderfully #healthyageing #ageingwell #tourismquebec #quebecjetaime #quebecmoments

Easy peasy salad dressings This reel is for Tina and everyone else who asked how they could eat more salad. My tip is ~ it’s all about a flavourful dressing. But don’t overdo adding too much salad dressing ~ it’s a dressing not a drowning Nutrition tip ~ eating a leafy green salad every day is great for your brain health. #1 2 Tbsp oil + 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar + 2 tsp of grainy Dijon & maple syrup #2 2 Tbsp oil + 2 Tbsp rice vinegar + 1 clove garlic, minced or microplaned + 1/2 tsp each dried oregano & basil #3 Add 2 Tbsp to a large bowl of salad ~ toss to coat Add 1-2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar and toss And a special shoutout to my assistant ~ Siobhan for her voice over. 😉 #saladdressing #cookfromscratch #homecookingrocks #learnhowtocook #leafygreens #brainhealth #healthyaging #healthyageing #agingwonderfully #agingwell #ageingwell #eatmoreveggies #mairlynsmith #saladdressings

Never stop leaping into your life. Wear the bathing suit. Follow your dreams. Go on that trip. Buy that ticket to that show. Be empathic. Surround yourself with people who support you. Read more books. Don’t judge yourself or others. Be kind. Be respectful. Learn something new. Help others. Go dancing. Be open minded. Love with abandon. And always remember that your worth is not related to the size of your jeans. Your worth is based on the good deeds you give to the world. Life is short ~ don’t waste your talents and your gifts. Go for it. Be your authentic self ~ everyone else is taken I’m 71 years old and I never want to stop leaping into my life. #lifeisshortliveit #healthyaging #healthyageing #agingwonderfully #agingwell #ageingwell #liveyourlife❤️ #lifeisprecious #lifeisshortmakeitsweet #lifelessonslearned #livelarge #mairlynsmith #bodypositivity #bodypositive #selflove #loveyourself #curvy #curvygirl #body #selfcare #love #motivation #effyourbeautystandards #bodyimage#healthateverysize Sidebar: I bought this fabulous bathing suit at a local bathing suit shop in Toronto ~ @bathingbelle
