Getting older is part of life. How your attitude to life and health changes as you grow older only partly depends on things that you cannot influence yourself, such as genetically inherited illnesses or unforeseeable accidents. For the most part, however, a good attitude to life can be influenced by natural ageing.

Healthy and natural ageing means looking after your body and keeping it healthy and learning to deal with stress. In this way, many nervous and physical illnesses that can occur with age can be prevented or delayed. It is never too late to start living a healthy life. No matter what age you start changing bad habits, it will make a big difference in how you feel in a few years and how active you can live. Family history plays an important role in staying healthy as you age. If there are chronic diseases, diabetes or high blood pressure in the family, your own risk is naturally higher and your lifestyle must be adapted accordingly. In this case, you need to pay even more attention to a healthy diet in order to largely prevent such diseases. But even if you already have one of these diseases yourself, a physically active lifestyle and the right diet can improve your physical and mental fitness. <\/p>\n

Ageing is a slow process. Changes can usually only be recognised in retrospect and years later. One of the fundamental changes is the slowing down of the metabolism, i.e. the ability to metabolise calories. This means that older people consume less food in order to maintain the same body weight.
The sleep rhythm also changes with age. Typical signs of wear and tear occur, such as a decline in eyesight, hearing or bone strength. Many organs become less efficient over the years, e.g. the kidneys lose some of their ability to store water in the body. However, all these signs of ageing can be improved through a healthy lifestyle. The most important preventive measures include physical activity, plenty of fluid intake and a balanced diet consisting of wholemeal products, fresh fruit and vegetables. <\/p>\n

Regular, preferably daily, physical activity keeps the body strong and fit and prevents depression. The best activities include swimming, walking, working in the garden or going to the gym. There is the right amount of exercise for every age and physical condition, which is best discussed with your GP.<\/p>\n

Mental and emotional health can be maintained through regular social contact with friends and family, avoiding stress and mental work. In addition to sufficient physical exercise, you should take 20 minutes a day to simply relax.
Your memory should be exercised frequently to maintain or improve it. Mental challenges are the best way to do this, so don't shy away from learning new things. Anyone who is prone to depression should seek medical help in good time, as depression prevents most people from living a healthy lifestyle. <\/p>\n

You should make a habit of doing the following throughout your life in order to stay in the best possible shape for your old age:<\/p>\n

A balanced, healthy diet. Highly salted and fatty foods should be avoided.
Avoid active and passive smoking.
Enjoy alcohol in moderation.
Do not take any unnecessary risks to avoid accidents.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
