Mid-Life Wellness Tips
Mid life can be a difficult time for both men and women, decreasing energy levels may plague you, and some indications of forthcoming health challenges can appear.
Here are the four most vital things to address the mid-life miseries!
1. Diet: Good nutrition is essential at this time, maybe even more so than at any other time of our lives. Follow a balanced diet which includes soy, (miso, tempeh, soy beans), fish (for omega 3), a handful of nuts and seeds each day, five servings of vegetables, and two of fruit, and add a little baked organic chicken once a week.
3. Exercise: try for 30 minutes each day where possible, it will help lift your mood, increase heart health and actually give you more energy, but do something you enjoy, a brisk walk with a friend, swimming, or cycling are good options. Note; if you haven't exercised in a while start off with less and consult your health Practitioner.
3. Manage stress: with meditation, yoga, or Tai Chi. stress depletes your energy levels and can exhaust your adrenal glands.
4. Finally avoid (or cut down) alcohol, caffeine, sugar, processed foods and salt.
If this all sounds too hard consider the benefits, a healthy mind and body to take you into the "golden age" of your 60's and 70's!!
