After 60 How to Have a Healthy Life on the Road?

Greetings!
At 78 years old with declining health, I am mostly wheelchair bound, but I can still drive & work from home every day.
I’m the lone survivor of my known family, so I adopted a neighbor lady after her husband died, and she was struggling to keep her house. I’ve taught her how to make money online, saved her house, and she is now traveling with me.
I’ve always had tons of people wanting to join me in my travels. Years ago, I converted a bus into a luxury motorhome as my retirement plan, and to host large camping trips. It will sleep up to 12 people comfortably.
About the same time, another young lady from the opposite side of the country had lost both her parents, and was in dire straits herself, so I adopted her too. I switched from my camper van to my bus to accommodate my newly adopted family, so now there’s 3 of us living, working, & traveling in my bus.
The ladies take great care of me, and we’re having a blast. We tow a grocery getter, which we also use to explore whatever area we’re in.
Each of us makes about $1k per day working part time online, with our own separate businesses, so money is never really an issue, and if the ladies wish, we will sometimes stay at fancy RV resorts.
Life is what we make it my friend, and by helping others, I’ve improved my life & my happiness as well. We just need to adapt to our needs as we grow older, without abandoning our goals.
I’m not ready to give up, I’m still enjoying life too much. If it’s hard, I do it immediately, if it’s impossible, it just takes a little longer…
Cheers!

I’d say
-
food, focusing on buying organic and natural - very hard in many remote and rural areas, ironically, paying attention to wholesome food selectio . Having a system to select foods that perish less while getting enough fresh stuff. Having good refrigeration and avoiding food poisonings.
-
exercise. Hard to attend gyms when you’re only in towns once in 2 weeks between moving campsites and got lots of errands to run. Having bodyweight exercise system.
-
medical. People buy a land parcel to use as a homebase once a year, including for their medical, specialists, dental visits
-
pets, for companionship and mental health
Bob Wells got a few videos on the subject I think.
