As a 60-year-old, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to stay as vital as possible. Here are some tips for getting healthy:
- Be wary of symptoms: Note early signs of health problems, such as chest pain for cardiovascular disease, memory loss for dementia, joint pain for osteoarthritis, etc. Find medical help if needed.
- Annual Checks: Regularly check with your GP, even if you have no symptoms. Annual checks can detect early health problems.
- Move enough: Stretch and move your body regularly. Make sure you have at least 150 minutes of moderate intensive movement per week, such as walking, swimming or cycling, to keep your muscles and bones healthy.
- Power training: Integrate exercises that improve your strength, endurance, agility and balance. This can help maintain muscle mass and increase resistance.
- Good night's rest: Make sure you sleep between 7 and 8 hours a night. Avoid sleeping pills and try to use relaxation techniques to fall asleep naturally.
- Healthy Nutrition: Eat a varied diet according to the food triangle, with lots of vegetables, fruits, cereals, pulses, nuts and seeds. Supplements such as vitamin D and B12 may be needed for some 60+.
- Hydration: Drink enough water, at least one and a half litres a day, to prevent dehydration and support digestion.
By maintaining a healthy lifestyle and having regular medical checks, you can become a 60-player vital and healthy aging.
