Live a long and Healthier Life
You should balance your activities with the proper
amount of rest. Some of the leading experts in the field of ageing now
believe that regular exercise along with the proper amount of rest may
actually add years to the life span. Results from a number of tests
indicate that speed and muscular strength of many of the elderly can be
extended.
Leading authorities agree that this new data is going
to shatter many of the myths about ageing and physical performance. The
conclusion now is that the performance and ability of the elderly has long
been underestimated, diet, proper sleep and exercise along with rest and
relaxation are all important factors in preserving our bodies.
Have a good laugh
Laughter is one of the best things for your mental and
physical state. People are naturally attracted to someone who has a good
sense of humour. You can develop a good outlook and a good sense of humour
by associating with and surrounding yourself with pleasant happy people.
Stress is a killer
Recognise that stress is a killer. A life filled with
stress can really wreak havoc on your body causing a number of illnesses
such as hear attacks, strokes, asthma, gastric problems, menstrual
disorders, ulcerative colitis, angina, irritable colon, increased blood
pressure, ulcers, headaches, etc.
There are different types of stress such as mental,
emotional and physical. Emotional stress seems to take the greatest toll
on everyone. All stress is not bad; in fact, life would not be very
interesting if it were not met with challenges. However, too much stress,
too often with no effective and appropriate outlet, does not allow the
body and soul to recuperate. You might review a typical week to see if you
can identify things that might be making you anxious or causing you
stress. Once identified, stressors can be attacked and eliminated.
Are you a worrier? Chronic worriers don't have more
serious problems than others - they just think they do. Many worriers try
to cope by trying not to think about their problems, but this just makes
things worse. Doctors say that chronic worriers feel less anxious if they
actually spend a half-hour a day thinking specifically about their
problems.
Exercise helps
Get plenty of exercise. People who are physically fit
look good and feel good. A good exercise regimen will lengthen your life.
Improve your appearance, build self confidence and help delay the ageing
process.
Remember that you need to do something physical every
day. If you don't use your joints, quite simply they'll tighten up with
age to create the stooped, bent and worn out appearance we so often
associate with old age. Studies have shown that people with arthritis
experience less pain if they continue to keep their joints flexible. As
one gets older, the bones tend to get brittle which is why it is common
for senior citizens to break bones and especially their hips if they fall.
Eating the right foods
Eating right, getting proper sleep and learning to
relax are all very valuable in maintaining a healthy body and mind. And
keep in mind that eating healthy foods and avoiding those high in fats,
sodium and cholesterol will help to decrease your risk of heart disease,
high blood pressure and associated problems.
