I turned 53 this year, I am now what most people like to call "old". When I tell people my age, most tell me that they thought I was in my late 40's, definitely not my 50's. I don't think that it's that I necessarily look young, I know that I have aged a lot in recent years. I think that what people are really looking at is how active I am and how I am always on-the-go, and that makes them see me as younger. They're actually right in a way - because even though I may have the body of a 53 year old, I feel like I have the spirit and energy of a 40 something.
One thing I learned at a young age was that in order to have a good quality of life, I had to take good care of my body. In my late teens and early 20's I used to play soccer and always kept very active. In later years I continued to stay physically active, always looking for outdoor activities and ways to keep my body and mind in good spirits. Now that I am in my 50's, I try to make it to the gym a few times a week, even though I would much rather sit at home with a book or watching a movie. I can't let myself get lazy about taking care of myself, not at this point. At this age I really have to make my health a priority and keep the momentum going. It's not that I want to stay looking young, I want to feel young so that I can keep up with daughter and the grandkids who are so full of energy. I also want to teach them by example, so that when they grow up they will always care for themselves too.
Today I want to share some of my tips to leading a healthier life.
Stay active: One of the best secrets to always having energy is by staying active. It can be a physical activity like going to the gym, which is also a great way to keep your heart strong and healthy. But it can also be as simple as hitting the outdoors with the family for a game day, hiking or any activity which keeps you moving. Even something as simple as an evening walk with the kids is a great way to get some daily physical activity in.
Take care of your gut health: You might not realize how important gut health is in your life. How you physically feel everyday has a lot to do with how healthy your gut is. Are you sluggish, bloated and always tired, or do you dread discomfort after meals or tummy troubles?
A daily probiotic can help add back what you’ve been missing (due to our modern lifestyles), and put you on the path to more energy, clarity, better digestive health, improved immunity and more, helping you to look and feel your best and live the best days ahead.
Nobody likes to struggle with tummy problems. Hyperbiotics have made a significant difference in how my family and I feel and how much energy we have. Hyperbiotics promotes daily relief from gas, bloating, and irregularity. Hyperbiotics doesn’t have to be refrigerated and comes in an easy to swallow pearl, so it's not a struggle to take. Hyperbiotics is the world’s most effective probiotic supplement, and you can easily find it at your local Target.
Taking care of your gut health doesn't have to be hard. I am taking Hyperbiotics Pro-15 to promote a healthy balance in my digestive system, #followyourgut and check it out at Target.
Stay positive: One of my secrets to being happier and staying healthier is to be positive. Nothing ages you faster than worrying and stressing about things you can't control. Life isn't easy, I know, but I am a believer in doing the best I can and keeping a positive mind. Your outlook on life can really make a difference in your everyday, so I always try to start the day on a positive note and keep it going that way.
Give yourself time off: No one can run on high all the time, we all need some downtime to unwind and catch our bearings. Just like I enjoy spending time with the entire family, I also really enjoy those moments of solitude and rest. These are the moments that my mind gets to rest and prepare for whatever life has in store for me tomorrow.
It's all about balance: Leading a healthy and more positive life isn't something you can do overnight, nor is it something you can do everyday. It's all about balance. Maybe today I will eat a large dinner with the family and not go to the gym, especially if it's a weekend, but tomorrow I will make up for it with extra activity. Or maybe today I am overwhelmed with problems and can't think positive, but tomorrow is a new day and I will wake up with positive intent in my mind and heart.
If we just learn to balance life and make better choices for ourselves, I do think we can be happier and healthier overall. By taking care of ourselves and keeping our bodies healthy and strong, we can be there for our family and enjoy life a lot more.
