By You can become healthy at any age.
Thankfully in life, we have a choice. We can choose to go one way or the other.
Whether we are young or old, this will never change. One aspect of growing older is the underlying truth that perhaps the way we ate as our younger self no longer suits us or has made us sick over the years. If only one had paid attention to this earlier on.
The truth is, you are never too old or too young to change your habits. The body is a beautiful mechanism that adapts and enforces homeostasis. If you will cope with whatever you give it, you will return the goods in droves. This can either be health or disease. The choice is ultimately yours.
Short-term pain for long-term gain is always deserving of a tick for life. In the short term, it may be annoying and uncomfortable to chance. But in a long time, it will pay dividends for your health and well-being. I don’t know about you, but I want to live life fully. There is no time to be plagued with ongoing health issues. Who has time for that?
Here are a few things you can do to alter your health and become an extremely healthy, fit, and energetic person. I’m currently 41 and am at my fittest, most muscular, and in top health.
Five easy habits that will keep you younger and energetic.
One: Intermittent fasting. This works well for people who have a lot of body fat and weight to lose. Now, for others like myself who have those problem areas, this can also be good for you! Alternating feeding windows allows you to practice self-discipline and gives your body time to regenerate and heal. This technique increases your growth hormone, which is the key to longevity and getting the upper hand on ageing. Yes, it can make you younger physically and internally. It has been known to increase strength and hypertrophy for those who weight train. Overall, intermittent fasting is for anyone.
Those who want to lose large amounts and small amounts of body fat, people who want to put on muscle, and those who want to heal their bodies or look younger than they are.
Two: Eating more fatty fish. Fish is an excellent source of protein, is lean, light, and packed full of omega-three fats. Omega 3 is linked to lowering inflammation markers and heart disease and can contribute to overall weight loss. The best types of seafood to consume are Salmon, sardines, rainbow trout and tuna (in moderation of course, due to its mercury content)
Three: Fish also contains DHEA, an omega-three fatty acid required to keep your brain functioning naturally and efficiently. The brain and nervous system are partly made up of fat and prefer DHEA fat. Long-term consumption of DHEA is linked to improved memory and learning ability and reduced cognitive decline. A perfect add-on to your already healthy diet for optimal brain health.
Four: Weight training. I do go on and on about weight training. It’s no surprise that this is the mightiest of techniques when it comes to weight loss and leading a healthy life. Strengthening your body means increasing your inner well-being and reshaping the outer shell. Weights burn body fat faster than steady-state cardio and build muscle, making you a metabolic energy-chewing machine! I don’t know a better feeling than one in which you have conquered the voice in your head that told you it couldn’t be done. Well, it can be, and it will! We learn this in the gym when we abolish our lifting limitations.
Eating less red meats & poultry protein. I found that this worked wonders for me. Unfortunately, even though meats are classified as ‘organic’, you don’t and won’t know how misleading this is. For all you know, the animal could have been fed grains and soy. When I ultimately stopped poultry, red meats and pork or stuffed with antibiotics. Now I experienced less gut and stomach upsets, and my inflammation markers decreased. I was no longer experiencing joint pain and structural imbalances in my hips. This was a HUGE breakthrough for me, as I train very heavy and hard with weights, and the issues with my hips prohibited me from squatting and deadlifting large amounts. Not anymore! If only today’s chiropractors could work this one critical issue out (but I guess that keeps them rich, right?)! Contaminated meats can cause inflammation. If anyone who reads this experiences similar problems, please eliminate poultry and red meat from your diet for 40 days. See if it makes a difference to your joint inflammation. In terms of weight loss, my abdominal fat decreased, and I lost body fat. When your body is constantly inflamed, you tend to increase belly fat. That was the first place it left when I gave Meat the boot!
Six: Eating more vegetables. The key to weight loss is ensuring you feel full and satisfied with every meal. This is much more likely when you add fibrous veggies to each meal. Fill your plate with broccoli, spinach, kale or cauliflower. Add a big salad and dress it with olive oil and your protein sources. You will be guaranteed to stay full and satisfied and have a constant source of energy during the day. Do this religiously, and watch your body shape change; your health and longevity increase!
Some of the best veggies that make you look younger are:-
– Kale, which contains vitamin K and fibre, also lowers cholesterol and blood pressure.- Blackberries are filled with antioxidants.
– Brussels sprouts are equipped with tumour-suppressing genes to treat rheumatoid arthritis by reducing inflammation.
