How do you ensure that you stay stronger and healthy as you age?

Let me answer How do you ensure that you stay stronger and healthy as you age? Ageing is inevitable but illness isn’t, a disciplined routine will lead to keeping seniors healthy and keep illnesses at bay. Maintaining a strong immune system is important for older adults, mainly during winter and the flu season. Senior adults are extra prone to infections and hence need to take precautions to ensure they stay healthy.

In reality, the number of immune cells normally stays the same as we age, but we need to check that they work as well.

How do you ensure that you stay healthy as you age India?

By making healthy choices each day we can protect and boost our immune system, as with other bodily systems. A holistic approach to life coupled with a balanced diet rich in nutrients and proteins goes a long way in ageing gracefully and healthily.

10 Immunity Building Strategies to Adopt as We Grow Older

  • A healthy diet.

The quantity should not be more but fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins C, E and zinc in beta-carotene, are vital to sound health. Sustaining a low-fat, less-sugar diet combined with lean proteins and whole grains also help. You can check 4 ways to a healthy diet here.

  • Healthy supplements or multivitamins

After consultation with the doctor, seniors should opt for health supplements, probiotics and multivitamins to ensure good immunity. I would recommend Ensure, which I have personally used for my ageing mother-in-law. It has a Nutri-strength complex of Protein, Calcium and Vitamin D that keeps your muscles and bones strong.

  • Regular exercise

Physical activity stimulates circulation and heart health as well as relaxes the body and mind. Find a home exercise video on YouTube as that can help in boosting the performance of the immune system and warding off infections. Too much weight results in a weakened immune system. Exercise can keep a check on your weight as well.

  •  Get vaccinated

Flu vaccines on Doctor’s advice have proven to be effective for numerous older adults. The seniors who take the flu vaccine every year are likely to fall ill less frequently.

  • Meditation to reduce stress

Many illnesses, including hypertension, heart diseases and digestive problems are linked to anxiety and stress. Meditation helps in calming nerves which is good as stress can overpower your immune system, making you extra vulnerable to viruses.

How do you ensure that you stay stronger and healthy as you age?

  • Sound sleep

A good night’s sleep is paramount to natural immune system rooters. It helps to counter inflammation and stress. It’s also shown to improve our response to the flu vaccine.

  • Positive outlook

A healthy and cheerful outlook to life augments endorphins, which make us feel good. Pursuing hobbies and activities that lead you to be happy.

No smoking
  • Avoid smoking 

If you smoke, you should quit as it is one habit that has a negative influence on your immunity. Smoking slows down the internal clock of the immune system before its time.

  • Drink in moderation

Drinking in excess limits the immunity-boosting nutrients in the body and also decreases the white blood cell’s potential to kill germs. Heavy drinkers are likelier to die from pneumonia and tuberculosis compared to teetotalers. On the other hand, moderate consumption of red wine is good.

  • Avoid processed and fried food

Ready to eat foods, processed food items are replacing simple home-cooked food. It is time to get back to traditional fresh foods that are high in nutritional value rather than piling on empty calories.

How do you ensure that you stay stronger and healthy as you age? If one follows these 10 steps, rest ensured it will keep your immune system healthy. And ready to fight any age-related ailments to keep one hale and hearty as you age healthily.

My writing was limited to school essays and projects for my kids and out of the blue, my writing career began with writing articles for the magazine section of a reputed national newspaper. I rediscovered my best subject at school and began writing with gusto. I had a weekend column in the newspaper which was well appreciated. I started off writing about Interiors and Gardens and later diverse topics like Fashion, trends, food and events in the city. Juggling my time between various jobs down the years and my writing, I have written content for fliers, brochures for colleges, speeches, social media content and also website content. I love writing and I am open to writing on a plethora of topics. My blog has some interesting insights into my life and travels but now it is mainly a food blog as I am growing organic vegetables and cooking my own produce is very therapeutic. Read my blogs to know me better. I write from my heart and what I write is what I feel... I feel a feel, A funny feel A funny feel, feel I! If you feel the feel I feel You'll feel the same as I!!
