Healthy Aging
There are three types of aging. Aging is quite the paradoxical human condition isn't it? It's essentially a dance between development and decline. The three different kinds of aging are: normal aging, successful (healthy) aging, and unhealthy aging.
Normal aging refers to the common impairments that affect
many people such as vision loss, hair loss and the loss of
muscle mass. Because people age differently, normal aging
encompasses a wide spectrum.
Successful aging is the most beautiful type of aging
there is. It is not accompanied by harmful health issues. People
who age successfully tend to maintain an active healthy life
until death and are said to die of "old age." They do not
experience many of the unwanted components of aging.
Unhealthy aging is accompanied by diminishment of health.
This is the kind of aging that is defined by illness and other
health difficulties.
Believe it or not, we spend our entire lives deciding which way
we are going to age. Which one do you choose?
10 Tips ... on Healthy Aging
1. Have one alcoholic drink daily. Yes, it's true.
Harvard University just completed a study with 11,000 women. The
ones that drank one drink daily had better memory tests and
verbal fluency.
2. Restrict Calories. Put a small amount of food on the
side of your plate every meal and don't eat it. Researchers have
found that restricted calories increase life span.
3. Protect your bones. Women especially should include
dairy in their diet for its calcium and Vitamin D. Low fat
yogurt supplies beneficial bacteria to support the immune system
and a healthy intestine. It also contains calcium and D.
4. Wash your hands. Most communicable health problems are
transferred from one person to the next by touching something
infected from another person. Books, paper towels, water
fountains, chairs and the cart at the grocery store are likely
places for bacteria and viruses.
5. Pitch all your antibacterial soaps. Help your body
help itself. It's healthy for the body to encounter germs on a
regular basis; it keeps the immune system well-conditioned like
a track star. The frequent use of antibacterial soaps and gels
actually cripples your immune system by not letting it develop
its own immunity to the outside world.
6. Monitor your citrus. Beware of grapefruit juice if you
are taking medication. Grapefruit juice can interact with
medications such as those that lower cholesterol. Calcium-rich
orange juice is fabulous for the bones and full of vitamin C and
other healthy antioxidants. Try the pulpy orange juice for added
fiber.
7. Enjoy your joints. Sometimes, joints are the first
thing to go wacky as you age. Don't let your joints turn into
creaking doors. It starts with good body posture, which aligns
the joints and keeps unnecessary pressure off of them. Slouching
puts more pressure on the lower back and the knees. If you are
sedentary most of the day, get up frequently and move around,
even if it is just for a few moments.
8. Eat your phytonutrients. These are nutrients found in
fruits and veggies. Lutein and Zeaxanthin are phytonutrients
that are great for healthy eyes. These carotenoids are
antioxidants found in the eye lens, retina and pupil. As you
age, the amount of these antioxidants decrease; therefore,
researchers have found that there is a positive correlation
between increased Lutein and Zeaxanthin and eye health. Lutein
and Zeaxanthin are found in green veggies like broccoli, kale,
string beans and believe it or not, egg yolks.
9. Act your shoe size. Sore feet can really make your
entire body feel awful. A proper shoe size is important. While
size is nice, it’s more important to have shoes that fit your
feet correctly and comfortably. When home, pick up marbles with
your feet to work the inner muscles of your feet. Stand on tip
toes and rock to your heels 10-20 times.
10. Don't forget to laugh. Scientists have found that
humor can perpetuate actual physiological changes such as
enhancing the immune system by increasing T cells, increasing
gamma interferon and B cells. It also lowers stress hormones.
Find humor in unlikely situations—look in the bushes if you have
to. Watch funny movies. Put on some music and watch your two
year old granddaughter dance.
