10 ways to age slowly

Experts believe that such habits and actions are harm­ful to your health after 60 years. And not only. What are these habits? Find out in the new arti­cle!

A lot of peo­ple after 60 years of age are slaugh­ter­ing them­selves and their health, moti­vat­ing this by say­ing “Oh, yes, I’m already old / old, that’s all.” But in fact, there is life after six­ty, and it can be made quite pleas­ant.

The key to a qual­i­ty life is being kind to your­self, want­i­ng to make things bet­ter, and choos­ing a pos­i­tive lifestyle. As peo­ple age, their bod­ies cer­tain­ly change, but that’s no rea­son to feel like a wreck, experts say. On the con­trary, they advise you to make adjust­ments to your lifestyle in order to stay healthy and active.

So, what are the bad habits after 60 years?

1. Worry about age

From a psy­cho­log­i­cal point of view, the worst thing to do after six­ty is to start wor­ry­ing about being over six­ty, and gen­er­al­ly think­ing about your age. Many peo­ple believe that now that human life expectan­cy has increased thanks to med­i­cine and sci­ence, 60 years is the new 40. You have many more years ahead of you, life goes on!

2. Cooking at high temperatures

Nutri­tion­ists believe that eat­ing foods cooked at high tem­per­a­tures sig­nif­i­cant­ly increas­es the risk of can­cer and also caus­es inflam­ma­tion. Yes, yes, after six­ty you should lim­it your­self to the con­sump­tion of dish­es such as donuts, as well as var­i­ous deep-fried pota­toes. If you get rid of this habit, you will age much more slow­ly, and also reduce the risk of devel­op­ing can­cer.

3. Eat Simple Carbohydrates Every Day

Sug­ar and white flour after six­ty years are your ene­mies. First on the list of the worst things on the plan­et are orcs, and then sug­ar and white flour. This is an impor­tant rule to remem­ber. There­fore, we stop con­sum­ing con­tent made behind the curb, and also get rid of sug­ar and flour addic­tion.

4. Refusing sex

Sex­u­al desire in a per­son remains sta­ble through­out life. And even at an age like yours, there is no pause in your sex­u­al life. So don’t for­get to show your part­ner how much you love him or her. Aware­ness of one’s own attrac­tive­ness, mod­er­ate phys­i­cal activ­i­ty, activ­i­ty — this is what sex brings into our lives.

5. Not maintaining a healthy sleep pattern

Fight your insom­nia, don’t start it. This is the main way to stay active and healthy after 60 years. You still need to sleep between 7 and 9 hours a night, so be sure to try to do so.

6. Use age as an argument for laziness

Each of us wants to goof off and do noth­ing from time to time. But in an era of pos­i­tive aging, nev­er use your age as an excuse to do noth­ing. You can! Yes, not so fast, but you can! And stop say­ing you’re too old! This applies to all peo­ple over 60.

7. Keep smoking

We all under­stand that smok­ing is a very bad habit that many have main­tained for many years. It is very impor­tant to stop doing this as soon as pos­si­ble. So you save your­self from many neg­a­tive con­se­quences.

8. To think that life has passed

The best years of life. We all will­ing­ly believe in this myth, and for some rea­son they fall pre­cise­ly for a peri­od when we have no mon­ey, sta­ble work, and then con­tin­ue for a peri­od when we are des­per­ate­ly plow­ing and can­not afford to relax. But what if… the best years of our lives are just after 60? You can relax, spend time the way you like! Try to look at the con­cept of “the best years of life” from a dif­fer­ent angle, and you will be sur­prised.

9. Not drinking enough water

Dehy­dra­tion has nev­er made any­one feel good. Try to drink two liters of pure water a day to stay young for as long as pos­si­ble. It’s good for the health of the whole body, you know, so you should not neglect water.

10. Don’t stay physically active

It is very impor­tant to con­tin­ue to be phys­i­cal­ly active for as long as pos­si­ble. There­fore, try to walk as often as pos­si­ble, and also do exer­cis­es. This will help keep your­self in shape, save you from bore­dom, and also give a mag­i­cal kick to your health.
