Take care of your body it’s the only place you have to live in! πŸ‘¨β€πŸ¦―βŒπŸ‘‰πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’ͺ
Your body is a vehicle, which you’re given so that you can lead an optimal life, and we only get one! So, it’s necessary to give it the exercise, that it needs to maintain its mobility and strength, feeding it the right fuel for energy and vitality, and giving it adequate rest and downtime, so that it can recover to perform at its best.
Like putting our savings in the bank, the sooner we start the more benefit we will gain over time. All those little instalments add up to improved quality of life in present and after 50.

The Benefits of Meditation Increase with Age! πŸ‘¨β€πŸ¦―βŒπŸ‘‰πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’ͺ
β€’ Meditation helps reduce stress, pain, anxiety, and depression. Meditation slows the decreases in the volume of gray and white matter in the brain as we age. It reduces the cognitive decline associated with normal aging.” One remarkable study found that at age fifty, brains of meditators appeared to be 7.5 years younger than non-meditators and that the benefits compounded with time.
β€’ In a study of older people, a regular meditation practice started early resulted in the increased performance of tasks.
β€’ As we age, it is normal and natural for our sleep to become more fragmented. A benefit of meditation is better sleep to have better days and nights.
β€’ Long-time meditators’ brains appear to learn new ways to process pain.
β€’ Preliminary findings show a reduction in ageism with a meditation intervention. From the work of Dr. Becca Levy, we know that combating ageism can increase our longevity by as many as seven years.

Fitness has nothing to do with age! πŸ‘¨β€πŸ¦―βŒπŸ‘‰πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’ͺ
We blame everything on the aging process, maybe in part because we don’t want to take responsibility for the fact that we haven’t been taking care of ourselves. Age is not your enemy your mindset is!
We often hear: β€œDon’t you have workouts for 30s, 40s, 50s or 70-year-olds?”
There’s no such thing as a workout based on age. It does not work this way. You’re either a beginner or you’re advanced. It’s about explaining to people that the reason they feel it’s their age is because they’ve allowed themselves to become deconditioned.
Start working out now and keep a check on your diet so you don’t have to blame your age for your loss.

Within you is a stillness and a sanctuary that you can retreat to anytime! πŸ‘¨β€πŸ¦―βŒπŸ‘‰πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’ͺ
Stillness can take many forms, from the practice of meditation to simply taking the time to sit outside in silence each day, doing nothing but breathe. Allowing ourselves to be still can also be advantageous in later life.
One of the most obvious benefits is that stillness helps you to separate the emotion from the thoughts. Utilising daily moments of stillness can provide some great health benefits, such as improving sleep, boosting energy levels, and even enhancing cognitive faculties.

Reality: It’s not unusual to assume that your life span and health will mirror that of your parents, but Dr. Roger Landry, author of β€œLive Long, Die Short,” says 70% of how we age comes down to lifestyle choices.

The best investment you can ever make is in your health! πŸ‘¨β€πŸ¦―βŒπŸ‘‰πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’ͺ
You invest financially for a better future and financial freedom but you forget about your health in all this commotion.
The importance of our health often takes a back seat until illness arises, when those symptoms rear their head and we get stopped in our tracks. Then all of a sudden, we become aware that the lifestyle we are leading is out of balance and that we need a course correction.
However, you don’t need to wait until you get sick to maintain your wellbeing. Invest in your health by changing your poor eating habits, lack of exercise, loss of inner peace and pave your way for a healthy body in future.

Your brain can adapt and function normally even after your 50s! How? READ DESCRIPTION! πŸ‘¨β€πŸ¦―βŒπŸ‘‰πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’ͺ
A brain that gets smaller and lighter with age can still function as effectively as a younger brain. Some conditions that can affect the brain's ability to function, are associated with diet, obesity and sedentary lifestyle choices. Keeping an active body is crucial if you want an active mind.
β€’ At least 30 minutes of moderate exercise every day delivers an oxygen boost to the brain.
β€’ Regular exercise can improve your brain's memory, reasoning abilities and reaction times.
β€’ Avoid the complications of obesity by maintaining a healthy weight for your height.
β€’ Avoid smoking and drinking to excess.
β€’ Good nutrition helps to keep your brain in optimum condition.
β€’ Make sure your diet contains sufficient B group vitamins.
β€’ Glucose is the brain's energy source, so eat a balanced diet and avoid extreme low carbohydrate diets.
β€’ Narrowed arteries (atherosclerosis) can reduce blood flow to the brain, so make sure you eat a low fat, low cholesterol diet.

Exercise not only changes your body, it changes your mind, attitude and your mood! πŸ‘¨β€πŸ¦―βŒπŸ‘‰πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’ͺ
We all know that regular exercise can do a world of good for the body, but did you know that it can also have a tremendous effect on the mind? It’s true, even a moderate amount of physical exercise on a regular basis can help reduce stress, anxiety, and sadness and improve your inner peace.
So, while rest is important for your inner health, so too is getting up and moving your body.
Walking the easiest exercise can have a stimulating effect but at the same time, it can also help relax the mind. There’s a chemical basis for this, as walking reduces stress hormones while at the same time stimulating the production of endorphins, which are the body’s natural painkillers and mood regulators.

Spirituality and spiritual participation are highly correlated with positive successful aging, as much as diet, exercise, mental stimulation, self-efficacy and social connectedness are. Spirituality has positive effects on the quality of life and end of life.

You can free yourself from aging by reinterpreting your body and by grasping the link between belief and biology.
It’s all about beliefs even the biology follows the beliefs one keeps in their mind. If with aging you believe you are old and you won’t be able to control your body and you are at the end and need no purpose and improvement in your life, then your body will follow it and soon you will feel old and dead inside. But if you believe that getting old is a part of life and getting old does not mean losing sense of life, improvement and goals in life then your body will follow it and make you feel alive and young.

Have you ever decided to make a healthy lifestyle change but quickly given up, telling yourself that it’s too late to learn new habits?
It’s time to take charge and not let your age stop you, because there’s surprisingly not that much difference between an 18-year-old brain and a 60-year-old brain, says Argye Hillis, M.D., director of the cerebrovascular division at Johns Hopkins Medicine.
Take that as inspiration that you’re never too old to adopt new healthful habits. Studies shows that adults who made good changes in their life like quitting smoking, following a Mediterranean-style diet, getting regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight decreased their risk of death in the time period by 80 percent.
