If you think your best years are coming to an end, we invite you to change your  perspective on life. 

Have you thought about the benefits of being in your golden years?

Indeed. After 60, we are in one of the best points of our life, both professionally and personally. After a lifetime of effort, we have achieved a long-standing professional career and we are respected in our field. We also have a more stable personal life that can include an established family. Lastly, we have the free time that we longed for while we were working towards building that future that is now our present.

After our 60s, the days of  providing explanations for each step and decision we make are over. We can finally devote ourselves to what  we are passionate about, instead of other people’s passions. 

At Nature’s Discount we offer you some tips so you can spend your best years full of energy and health. 

Get active and full of energy!

Exercising daily helps you activate your circulation, tone your muscles, and burn some fat.

Start with small steps. Afternoon walks, weekend walks, or an occasional visit to the park. If you do not have any type of gym weights, you can improvise with some products you have at home such as packaged foods or cleaning products. You can even take an empty container and fill it with sand to create your own homemade weights!

If weight lifting and walking exercises are not your thing, try dancing, yoga or tai-chi class. Any physical activity will greatly benefit you! Exercising in the company of others will also improve your emotional health and make  exercising more fun.

It doesn’t matter if exercise wasn’t part of your daily routine, it’s never too late to start! It will help you look and feel better. 

Have you felt fatigued or tired lately? You could be suffering from magnesium deficiency.

This mineral fulfills regulatory functions in the body.  It plays an important role in reducing stress, tiredness, and fatigue, while also contributing  to the maintenance of muscles, and even to the regulation of blood pressure.

The absence of magnesium could cause fatigue, anxiety and depression, not to mention internal consequences such as muscle and cell degeneration.

This essential micronutrient is not produced by the body, but we can obtain it through foods such as vegetables, legumes, and cereals. It is important to take  into account that the absorption of nutrients becomes more difficult during the adult life. However, you can find supplements such as magnesium citrate tabs 60’s, which offer  you the daily dose of magnesium necessary to maximize the benefits of this macromineral.

Physical activity improves your mental and muscular health, and helps you keep chronic and cardiovascular diseases at bay. This stimulus will keep your mind active and allow you to think faster and make better decisions.

Also, remember that your mind needs to exercise. You can exercise your mind by doing small practices such as memorizing lists, addresses and phone numbers. Make crosswords or download applications and games that will challenge your mind. Mens sana in corpore sano.

Take care of your cardiovascular health

Blood pressure refers  to the force our heart applies when pumping blood throughout  the body. High blood pressure means that your heart is working harder than normal, and it can cause cardiovascular problems such as heart attacks, strokes, heart failure, and even kidney failure.

Imagine what happens to a machine when it works beyond capacity for a long period of time. It just collapses …

 What can you do  about it?

Let’s talk about Omega 3,  maybe you have heard about this compound. Omega 3 is a fatty acid that has many benefits for your body. There are 3 types of Omega 3: alpha-linolenic, eicosapentaenoic, and docosahexaenoic. These acids support crucial body functions. Alpha-linolenic acid fulfills energetic functions, eicosapentaenoic tackles circulatory functions, while docosahexaenoic supports the central nervous system. 

Omega 3 also supports cardiovascular functions  by reducing cholesterol and blood pressure.

Fish and shellfish are a good source of Omega 3, along with other foods such as spinach and nuts.  You can also complete your daily diet with supplements, especially if you do not have easy access to these foods.

Flax Borage Omega 3-6-9 Complex Sgels 90’s contains eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids, as well as other relevant fatty acids such as Omega 6 and Omega 9.

If you like hot drinks, you can try products like the Blood Pressure Tea from Prince of Peace, which contains ingredients such as hawthorn and ligustrum. The properties of these ingredients will help you maintain a balance in blood pressure levels.

While our golden years may be one of the best stages of our lives, it is also true that we must take special care of our health, especially our heart. A balanced diet accompanied by supplements and exercise will help you achieve this goal.

Keep a balanced diet

Eating a balanced diet is important at any time in our lives, and  this stage is no exception.

During adulthood, it is important to reduce the consumption of greasy food and red meat. Choose healthier options such as fish, turkey and chicken, and increase the consumption of fruits, vegetables, grains and fiber will help you achieve this.

Also, it is important that you stay away from bad habits such as junk food, alcohol and cigarettes.

Foods like apple cider vinegar are also great allies to achieve a  good diet. Not only does it maintain the bactericidal properties of vinegar, it also helps you control your weight and blood sugar levels.

You can include products such as Bragg Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar with the Mother in your diet.  This product includes the “mother” of apple cider vinegar, a set of enzymes and bacteria that provide extra health properties.

Also, it is important that you stay hydrated. After your 60 ́s, you are more likely to suffer from dehydration, especially since adults are less likely to feel thirsty. Do not forget to drink liquids several times a day. Do not forget to eat fruits that are rich in water and provide energy to the body.

Live!

It seems obvious, but it is important to remember that we are social beings by nature. Participating in social activities improves your mental health and social relationships. This will help keep from conditions such as loneliness and depression at bay.
