Health Advice for Each Generation
HEALTHY LIVING TIPS FOR EVERY GENERATION
Generation X Sometimes called “the Forgotten
Different generations have different opinions about what makes you healthy, and they frequently disagree with or scoff at what other generations believe is best for them. To foster a better understanding, here’s a short synopsis and comparison of generational attitudes, plus tips on how each group can maximize their good health! Baby Boomers People born between 1949 and 1964 are known as baby boomers, named after the increased post-war birthrate. This generation trusts conventional medicine — hospitals and doctors. They take steps to combat chronic illnesses, but they tend to ignore mental health. They can better their health by being open to alternative medicine and mental health measures, like seeking therapists or pursuing stress- relieving hobbies while maintaining their trust in conventional medicine.
Generation,” Gen X refers to people born between 1965 and 1980. Many Gen Xers are active parents and spend a lot of time involving themselves in their children’s lives. Most don’t sleep enough and — like baby boomers — don’t manage their mental health enough. They can make lifestyle changes to boost their overall wellness, like learning good sleep habits, joining social groups, and taking up new hobbies to help them de-stress. Millennials The first computer-savvy generation, millennials — born between 1980 and 1996 — value mental health and a holistic view of medicine, preferring to seek out alternative medical treatment rather than pay the steep costs of conventional treatment. This generation can elevate their wellness by scheduling regular
appointments with health care providers and shedding their dislike for professionals during health crises (like COVID-19). Generation Z Gen Zers, or zoomers, were born between 1997 and 2010. Many zoomers do not yet have fully developed opinions on health care, but research indicates they’ll have similar opinions to millennials. The oldest zoomers are currently in their 20s, so developing good health habits now is essential. They should make exercise a part of their weekly routine and pursue stress management techniques to help them weather the coming years.
