Healthy and Natural Aging For People Over 50
It is important to keep ourselves healthy at any age. But it must be obvious that the older we get, the less forgiving our bodies will be. Teens and young adults may be able to eat all the bad fats, party hard, and forsake exercise. But as we enter middle age, and our senior years, we are not going to do ourselves any favors by neglecting some attention to our health.
And scientists are finding that everything is tied together. Of course, as we age we worry about our skin, belly fat, brains, and overall fitness. Changes that benefit one thing are likely to be good for our whole selves. On the other hand, damage we do to one system will harm the rest of us too.
Consider some of the good fats, like Omega-3, which is found in some seafood. A study considered the issue of why American Eskimos had a very low rate of heart disease despite a fairly high cholesterol diet. It was not thought to be the consumption of cholesterol that affected them in a positive way, but the high consumption of Omega-3 oils. This can also be good for skin and hair.
We know that our metabolism and activity levels tend to decline as we age. But exercise can help boost it back up. It can also reduce many disease risks that increase as we get older. And of course, some moderate exercise will help us look better, and it can also be a great way to reduce tension and anxiety.
Making sure that you get a minimum of 2 hours of exercise every week can really help your insides and your outsides! Two hours is not that much. Twenty minutes a day, 6 days a week, can actually improve your health. Think about that. You can walk around the block a couple of times or watch a tv show while using your stationary bike. Try it for a couple of weeks and see how you feel!
Watch the bad fats and bad carbs too. A huge steak dinner with fries should not be on the menu every nigh. Try to replace red meat with fish a few times a week. If you must go out for a steak, try to order a smaller portion, and then make sure you eat it with a nice salad and some fruit. Science has demonstrated that some good food can help our bodies deal with some of the less healthy food once in awhile. - 17274
