Aging Well Takes Work, But it’s Absolutely Worth It

When it comes to aging well, we might conjure up images of seniors that are jogging, lively and glowing from within.

While those things are typically associated with overall health, every ones fitness level, appearance and internal health is going to be different. What might look like the epitome of health to you, might not actually be what it seems. It’s important to do all that you can now to stave off chronic illness and to live your best life, but it’s never too late to take your health seriously.

It all begins with you
You have to take the initiative and responsibility for your health. How can you make sure you are on the right track? Talking to your provider is essential. They can help you meet your goals and to make certain that you are getting your screenings in timely manner. Scheduling your wellness exams, lab draws and seeing your physician regularly or if you have any new symptoms or changes in your health is imperative.

It also begins with you taking your exercise and dietary habits more seriously. Always talk to your doctor before starting any new program. Adults that eat healthy, nutrient-dense foods such as the Mediterranean diet fare better in aging well. These whole foods include produce, seafood, olive oil, nuts and it significantly limits sugar, saturated fat, and refined, processed foods.

Adults that exercise regularly have healthier cardiovascular symptoms, circulatory functioning, and are able to fight off illnesses better than those that live sedentary lives. Getting 30 minutes of exercise daily is recommended, but 30 minutes of exercise 3 to 5 times per week is also beneficial. It doesn’t have to be difficult or intense, but it’s best to go at a pace that suitable for your fitness level.

Cardiovascular Health
If you have any cardiovascular conditions or symptoms, making an appointment with your doctor is critical. If you are having an emergency situation such as severe chest pains, tightness in your chest, slurred speech or face drooping call 911.
