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.
"If your ambition drives you to constantly prove
yourself better than others, it is a devious deception. This kind of
attitude invariably leads to despair. There is nothing good to be
said about the need to prove to others that you are better than them
financially, physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually. Yet
this behavior is common among many people. No doubt they are
encouraged by the antics of their religious organizations that are
always trying to show to the people that their religious dogma is
better than that of the other religions."
