Anti Aging for Middle Age and Senior Years

By Deborah Levi

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.

These days, science has demonstrated that all of our body systems are twined together. Our bellies, skin, metal health, and overall fitness tend to depend upon each other. Some diet changes that help one are of our bodies and minds will tend to have a positive impact in other areas. On the other hand, negative changes to diets or routines may hurt us in more than one way.

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!

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!

You do not have to give up carbohydrates and fat. You should just try to prefer the good fats and carbs over the bad ones. Good carbs come from fresh fruit and vegetables and whole grains. If you must go out for a steak and a potato, try to select a smaller portion. And be sure to add a salad and some fruit to that meal. - 17269
