Aging or getting old is a biological process that cannot be avoided. The criterion for someone to be said to be elderly is someone who has reached the age of 60 years. dr. Hanum revealed that Diabetes Mellitus is the mother of disease or the mother of all diseases. So do not be surprised if someone who has diabetes can suffer from other diseases because it can attack other organs of the body. according to dr. Hanum, the characteristics of good physical fitness include being optimistic about performing normal work so that work productivity is high, not easily tired, not easily exposed to stress, and not susceptible to disease. Not only maintaining a healthy diet, a regular lifestyle must also be applied from an early age. The last tip from dr. Hanum is don't forget to be HAPPY.
