Do you know what attitudes you should take to age in a healthy way?

Ageing is a process that happens to everyone naturally and there is no way to escape it.

As the years go by, our bodies begin to decrease the production of natural resources that we all need and with that, the inevitable symptoms of ageing arise and develop.

Some of these ageing symptoms are the famous wrinkles and or crow’s feet, decreased muscle strength, skin and bone fragility, excessive snoring, and weight gain or loss, among others.

But the good news is that these symptoms can be prevented or reduced through some measures you can take to maintain vitality:

1. Practice exercises

Experts in the field recommend that physical exercise routines be practised in the morning, although some can only and prefer to practice in the afternoon, or at the end of the day.

Physical exercises will leave you with a high heart rate, preventing the relaxation essential to contribute to a good night’s sleep, so it is recommended to exercise up to 3 hours before bedtime.

And we must not forget the importance of not exaggerating the frequency and starting at a pace that your body will support (ideally, I’d like to ask for a professional).

2. Practice Yoga

The practice of Yoga contributes to relaxation, and meditation, and increases the ability to concentrate in addition to producing various benefits for the mind and body, some of them are:

Regulates blood circulation;

Balances the nervous and endocrine systems;

Improves the functioning of the heart;

Helps with breathing control;

Controls hormone levels;

Combat stress.

3. Healthy eating

Eating healthy is an excellent way to live for the elderly with quality, eating the right foods in the right amount daily, provides the vitamins and nutrients needed to build a healthier body.

But over the years, at a certain point, our body may not absorb nutrients properly, and food supplementation can be requested through supplements and vitamins according to medical guidance and prescription.

4. Take care of mental health

Taking care of mental health is just as important as taking care of physical health.

It’s no use taking care of just one side, it’s like a real plane, and both wings need to be in good condition.

Invest in good habits to preserve the health of your mind.

Maintain an active social life and healthy relationships, be around optimistic, happy people, join groups, and communities, and socialize as much as you can.

Read good books, watch good movies, take courses, dance, always smile and focus on positive thoughts.
