Five ways you can age gracefully

Here’s some great tips on how to age well and enjoy the journey:

  1. Although we all experience aches and pains as we age, maintaining a good level of physical fitness can boost your mood, improve your quality of sleep, increase your immunity and improve cardiovascular health.
  2. Eat a large variety of fruits, vegetables and lean protein and minimize processed foods such as dairy, wheat and refined sugar in your diet. Raw fruits and veggies bring important enzymes to the GI tract that improve absorption of nutrients.
  3. Get your 8-9 hours of sleep every night. If you have trouble sleeping try not eating anything heavy for 2 hours before bed and instead taking a cup of herbal tea such as chamomile or peppermint.
  4. Quit Smoking. This is harder than it sounds but quitting smoking is really a no-brainer in living a fuller, longer life. Apart from the obvious reasons, smoking cigarettes also increases fine lines and wrinkles.
  5. Have fun! They say that there is nothing love can’t heal and spending time with friends is vital to your emotional well-being. Hug, dance, laugh and have good visits.
