You Age How You Live! Age Gracefully...

These days we are open to a lot more diseases and ailments and while you might have access to top medical care, you can protect yourself from all these diseases and they begin with you. Your lifestyle ultimately determines how well you'll age. Studies have shown that your life expectancy can be greatly improve or deplete depending on your lifestyle and this is dependent on three major factors: pleasure habits, physical activity and nutrition choice.

Pleasure Habits: Your pleasure habits are things that you indulge in. This is different for different people and can range from smoking, drinking, listening to music, reading and a host of others. While if done in moderation, some of these activities can be very rewarding and wholesome. However if done in excess, these activities can lead to a variety of ailments that make ageing very difficult and uncomfortable. Loud music can lead to deafness, reading in poor light can lead to bad eyesight, drinking and smoking excessively can lead to a variety of lung and kidney issues. It is very important to bear in mind when you decide to indulge.

Physical Activity:When you indulge in strenuous activity as a young person, your body quickly replenishes what you have lost. However as you age, your body isn't as fast in replenishing lost nutrients and building up weakened muscles. It is important to take time of to relax and engage in healthy and non-strenuous activities.

Nutrition Choice: Your eating habits are also extremely important to ageing gracefully. Taking frizzy carbonated drinks, excess sugar and the like can weaken your teeth and bones, increase your sugar level and is generally detrimental to your health. Vegetable and fruits no matter how unappealing they might sound are ultimately your best friend. Drink a lot of water too. It would detoxify your body.
