6 Tips for Healthy Ageing
2

• Aging is an inevitable process. Your body
  goes through a lot of changes as you age. Your
  skin develops wrinkles and your hair starts
  turning grey. You dont feel the same vigor and
  stamina like before.
•  
• But getting older doesnt mean that you will
  have several medical conditions or a poor quality
  of life.
•  
• Despite the fact that you dont feel like a
  youth anymore, you can enjoy aging if you are
  familiar with the changes going on with your body
  and take care of your health.
• All you need to do is live a healthy
  lifestyle built around exercises, nutritious
  foods, precautions and positive thinking. We have
  listed some tips on how to stay healthy as you
  age

3
Eat Healthy Foods

• A balanced diet is important for health,
  energy and preventing illness. Make sure to add
  lots of fruit and veggies, oily fish, low fat
  dairy and lean meat to your meals. Keep your body
  hydrated by drinking 8-10 glasses of water in a
  day. Divide your meals in small portions, instead
  of having a bigger meal all at once.
• Try to avoid saturated fat and fizzy drinks.
  If you drink alcohol, limit it five days a week
  to give your liver time to recover from the toxic
  effects of alcohol.

4
Stay Active

• Exercise is as important as a healthy diet at
  this point of life. Regular exercises help you
  stay active, strong and in shape. They minimize
  the risks of heart diseases, stroke, diabetes,
  obesity and some cancers.
• According to health experts, older adults
  should perform 150 minutes of moderate intensity
  workout per week, as well as strengthening
  workouts twice a week.

5
Take Care of Your Brain Too

• Cognitive decline is an accepted part of
  aging. Many older adults have Alzheimers and
  other brain diseases which affect their mental
  cognitive functions like memory and reasoning. It
  is essential to be involved in activities that
  help strengthen cognitive power. Solve puzzles,
  play video games, read books, take dance lessons
  and learn to play musical instrument to keep your
  brain active.

6
Get Enough Sleep

• Sleep deprivation can lead to depression,
  irritability, memory problems and fall risk in
  older adults. Make sure to sleep for seven to
  nine hours per night. Also try to cut down on
  daytime naps. If you are having trouble falling
  asleep, visit your doctor as it can be insomnia.

• Go For Checkups

• Hearing loss and eyesight problems are common in
  aging adults. It is important to get them checked
  regularly. Apart from that, several medical
  problems can be traced and prevented in initial
  checkups.

7
Spend Time with Family and Friends

• More than 20 adults in the USA are living
  alone or single due to health problem, retirement
  or loss of a spouse. Spending time with your
  loved ones can help you overcome the feeling of
  loneliness, depression and anxiety. You can also
  find new friends by using Skype or joining social
  media groups.
• These are a few things that can help you lead
  a healthy life even as you age.
