Fitness of women at 40 +
“Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter. But if you do (mind), then we have the solution.”
Mark Twain
As we approach ’40’, lifestyle changes are essential. Deciding on a healthy lifestyle isn’t about going on a ‘diet’. This lifestyle choice is about changing the way we think about food and exercise as a part of our routine.
BEAT STRESS
Women are most likely to experience deficiency of vitamin B6 as they age, which may be due to anxiety, stress and depression. This vitamin is found in a variety of foods especially in sunflower seeds,pistachios, bananas, dry prunes,poultry,tuna fishing chickpeas. Since B6 is a water soluble vitamin and gets excreted naturally, a constant supply is required.
Walking, running and swimming are also found to be great tension tamers.
BUILD STRONG BONES
If the body does not get enough supply of calcium through diet, it draws the same from bones thus making them more porous and thereby increasing the risk of Osteoporosis. According to the recommended intake, an adult needs 400-600mg of calcium daily.
Along with dietary adjustments, strength training is another key to strong bones.
HEALTH UP YOUR HEART
Keeping track of your waist circumference and ensuring that it’s less than 80cm (90cm for men), is an ideal way to keep your heart beating. Switch over to a diet high in vegetables, legumes, fruits, nuts, whole grains, fish and healthy fats. A bowl of oats porridge is a perfect way to start a day since oats have a high content of dietary fibre which helps to keep the heart healthy.
RECHARGE YOUR BRAIN
A moderate diet of walnuts helps to improve motor and cognitive skills. Indulging in exercise on a regular basis thickens and improves functions in the brain cortex which plays a vital role in memory, thinking power as well as concentration. Just having 8-20 walnuts a day and playing games which stimulate brain cells is the best needed workout for brain.
When it comes to health and longevity, the sum of dietary components is significantly greater than its individual elements. Good living is the key to longevity (not to be confused with good life). No one except you is more interested in your health which only proves the oft repeated adage “wish power kindles will power”.
