Exploring the everyday meanings of healthy aging.

Abstract

The present paper, qualitative cutting, presents the responses and opinions offered by older persons who are perceived as healthy to the question on how they have done to get healthy at an age greater than 60 years. It was found that most of the answers lean toward proper food and exercise to achieve this. In addition, it detected that the psychological component strongly influences both in perception and the actual state of locating how healthy. Also found other answers that the theorists of health do not have and that deserve to be called into question, and some, be taken into account.
