Anti Aging for Middle Age and Senior Years

By Deborah Levi

Most of us realize we should take care of ourselves by eating right and exercising. At 20, our bodies may let us off the hook a bit if we do not eat right or skip some sessions at the gym. But at fifty, or seventy, it is much more important to make health a hobby.

Scientific studies show us that our bodies, fitness, skin, hair, mental state, etc. are all joined together. A healthy diet and fitness routine that improves our heart health may well make our skin look better too! Our moods can also be improved, and we may find that our brains stay sharper later. Of course, that road runs both ways. Negative lifestyle choices can hurt us in multiple ways.

Omega-3, for instance, is one of the so-called good oils. It has been demonstrated to help lower cholesterol, even with people who consumer quite a bit in their diets. This oil, one of the good fats, can also improve skin and hair. One natural substance can have an important positive impact on more than one system in our body.

As we get older, we do tend to slow down. Not only do we tend to become less active, but our metablolism slows down. The same amount of food at 50 will probably make us fatter than it would have at 20. But we can reverse this with moderate exercise. And not only will a nice walk or bike ride help us look leaner, it can lower disease risks and perk us up!

Experts advise us to fit in at least two hours of exercise every week. This is not really that much, and it can be done with 20 minutes of exercise done 6 times a week. We do not have to train like marathon runners either. A brisk walk or turn on an indoor bike can benefit us. It is just important to stick to it.

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. - 17273
