lives. Incorporating gardening, yoga or a brisk daily wake into your routine is all it takes. Sleep, too, is vital because that time to recover and recharge supports all physical and mental functions, especially as we age.
3. Take Care of Your Immune System
We tend to forget how overburdened our immune systems are. How can you be well and healthy if your immune system is shot or if it is in overdrive dealing with the impacts environmental chemicals, poor dietary choices, germs and viruses and our own emotional stressors like anger, anxiety, grief, fear or depression? It’s no wonder that
auto-immune disorders and chronic, debilitating conditions and cancers are rampant.
4. Reduce Sugar Intake Sugar is everywhere, in everything. Salad dressings, canned goods and pretty much all processed foods contain surprisingly large amounts of sugar. In addition to suppressing your immune system, too much sugar can cause insulin sensitivity, copper deficiencies, gallstones, diabetes, arthritis and osteoporosis; it can also increase cholesterol, fluid retention and blood pressure.
Aging should be a beautiful process, not a miserable one. When
we treat our body right, it will do right by us. Making better choices, healthy choices, holds the key to disease prevention and a long, healthy life.
