(NC)—Eighty-five million North Americans are boomers and as they age, many find themselves limited by the physiological changes associated with growing older. An internationally recognized author and boomer expert, PJ Wade knows that being a boomer doesn't mean having to compromise a fun and fulfilling lifestyle. Below are PJ's top tips to help boomers shed traditional stereotypes and empower themselves to live their best lives:

• Explore the unfamiliar: Life is best when it's full of new experiences. Try tackling something new as an adventure, not a lifetime commitment. Start by sampling an activity that you have yet to experience, such as a new sport or social outing. Embrace the newness and don't be afraid to take risks.

• Tantalize your taste buds: Your pallet may suffer boredom unless you consciously seek out zip and zest for your taste buds. At this stage in our lives, many of us see changes in our digestive health. Keeping heartburn medications such as Pepcid handy is an easy way to ensure that your culinary experiences are enjoyed to the fullest. Don't let heartburn keep you from enjoying and experimenting with new tastes.

• Travel outside the box: Make the effort to travel to a variety of locations that you have yet to visit. When it comes to travelling, most people choose the familiar or most popular. The more experience you have with different places and lifestyles, the more your imagination can lead you into a future that is uniquely yours to enjoy.

• Look the part: Too often individuals take on a frozen-in-time look that reflects the last fashion season they felt compelled to participate in or really loved. Even if past-season clothes fit, they date you and make you more aware of the passage of time. Concentrate on the statement and the impression you want to make.
