LIVE A LONGER AND HEALTHIER
LIFE
You should balance your
activities with the proper amount of rest. Some
of the leading experts in the field of aging 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 aging
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.
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
humor. You can develop a good outlook and a good
sense of humor by associating with and
surrounding yourself with pleasant happy people.
Recognize 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.
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 aging 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 when they
fall.
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.
