Aging is an inevitable process, but you can delay it and stay healthy. Dr. Jagdish Khubchandani, professor of public health at the University of New Mexico, USA, listed the ways to feel younger after 50 years.
Communicate with people
According to the specialist, loneliness and social isolation are associated with an increased risk of chronic diseases and premature mortality. Khubchandani advised to set aside time for communication and meetings.
Give up bad habits
Smoking remains the leading cause of many dangerous diseases, disabilities and death. Alcohol consumption, in turn, is associated with heart disease. Every time a person smokes, damage to the lungs, heart and brain occurs. Chronic lesions then culminate in serious diseases that accelerate the aging of the body's systems.
Do sports
As we age, our physical strength naturally decreases and our fragility increases. In addition, the metabolism becomes slower and the body begins to accumulate a lot of fat in the abdominal area (for example, visceral abdominal fat), which is associated with inflammatory changes in the body. This has a particularly strong effect on the health of the heart and brain. Regular exercise and training will give you more energy and lower your risk of heart disease.
Protect your skin
One of the few manifestations of the aging process that is visible to the naked eye is the condition of the skin. "The skin needs to maintain its tone, it is also vulnerable to external influences, such as pollutants, ultraviolet radiation, extreme weather conditions," said Khubchandani in an interview. Therefore, skin protection (such as using sunscreen) and nutrition (getting enough vitamins, minerals and water) are the keys to looking fresh after 50.
Manage stress and sleep
Stress and lack of sleep contribute to inflammation in the body, which leads to immune problems and biochemical imbalances that affect the aging process. According to the expert, it is important to get enough sleep and learn to manage stress in order to look and feel younger.
