4 ways to be more resilient as you age

People who rebound faster from stress tend to have lower risk of mortality.

One: Stay social. Human connection helps in stressful times. Reach out to a loved one. Join a club.

Two: Build your brain with exercise. Exercise slows the brain's aging process. Aim for 30 minutes, 5 times a week.

Three: Celebrate birthdays. For real! People with a positive view of aging have better brain function and lower dementia risk.

Four: Practice gratitude. Saying "thank you" daily boosts positivity, even when it's hard to feel grateful.
