A new UK study announced May 28 states that the secret to staying healthy in your golden years is having a good social life and staying active.

In a survey funded by the UK's Economic and Social Research Council, elderly people reported a higher quality of life when they could move around, take care of basic needs, and have friends and family with whom they could socialize. Another key to happiness, cited by the researchers, is resourcefulness, such as being able to compensate when they can no longer do the things they could before.

This study follows another from 2008 by the Harvard School of Public Health in the US that found that elderly people who have an active social life have a slower rate of memory decline as they age.

A few other factors can play into your healthy longevity -- the most essential being good genes. Last year a massive genetic study, published in Science, found that people who lived to extreme old ages had one of 19 different gene profiles, and tended to be unusually healthy, free from the diseases of aging, such as heart disease, cancer, and dementia, until well into their 90s.

When it comes to aging, you can't control your genes, but a few things you can control include lifestyle habits, such as enjoying the companionship of your friends and family and getting 30 minutes of physical activity a day, experts say.

Also, if you want to stay healthier longer, experts advise not to eat so much. Consume a balanced and nutritious diet of only 1,600 calories a day instead of the average 2,000. Health and fitness website Blisstree also suggests "loading up" on resveratrol (an ingredient found in Japanese green tea and red wine) and other antioxidants found in fresh fruits, vegetables, and dark chocolate.

Another key to staying happy as you grow older: Reader's Digest magazine recommends complaining less about pain and discomfort and shrugging off setbacks. Stay intellectually engaged and be creative. Religion can also play a vital role in aging well, reports the magazine, as can being an extrovert.
