If you are already over forty, and all age changes have not slowed to appear, they are "on the face" in the literal sense of the word, somewhat "touched" the figure and overall health. At this age, fatigue is faster, there is a certain slowing of the reactions, health problems begin. And yet, I really want to not give in to all this, but to say about myself that at forty years life has just begun.

All the fun is yet to come, only you need to help your body to preserve youth and beauty, and to save health.

Healthy life after 40 years.

The thing is that in premature aging we are most often guilty, because we do not give ourselves the trouble to change the old way of life, the food system, to reconsider some of the old habits in favor of healthier and more useful. But in forty years a woman still needs her children, her family, she has many responsibilities, interests, and if she is healthy and well, this has a beneficial effect on relatives. That is why it is very important to think over the system of preventive measures and strictly adhere to them, then in 50 years and at 60 you will rejoice at your age.

Let's start with the duration of sleep. Earlier, 5-7 years ago, you could afford not to get enough sleep. Morning shower and a cup of coffee was enough to look fresh and rested the next morning. Now, after a sleepless night, this minimum is clearly not enough. Bags under the eyes, swelling, gray complexion speak eloquently that you have not slept for 2-3 hours. Therefore it is very important to sleep at least 8 hours, and some require 10 hours of full sleep. Think it's better - to sleep, or spend an hour and a lot of cosmetics in the morning to bring your face in order.

Revision requires a power system. By the age of 40, 95% of women have a slower metabolism. This suggests that the amount of food taken must be somewhat reduced, and give preference to fruits and vegetables. Perhaps it's time to start the day with oatmeal porridge, it's pretty easy to get used to, especially if you add dried fruits. The organism will very soon respond you with gratitude.

Fried meat should be replaced with boiled, preferred fish in any form. Especially useful is the red fish. It is necessary to increase the number of meals from three to five. These measures are useful to take even if you do not have excess weight. Proper nutrition will affect the condition of the skin, hair, nails. If there are any specific problems, for example, a lack of calcium, you can take vitamins and supplements.

With bad habits, if they are, you also need to understand. Few women can take and simply quit smoking if they have done this the previous 10-15 years. But to reduce the number of cigarettes is quite realistic. Nicotine "kills" vitamin C, which enters the body. Therefore, if you smoke, and until you decide to give up this occupation, use vitamin C in its pure form to keep the body's balance. Doses of alcohol should also be reduced.

Take as a rule part of your daily route to walk. This can be a section of the way to work or back, or just a walk in the evening. Do not regret it for your time - a walk in the fresh air in any weather is useful not only in terms of physical activity. It is an opportunity to calmly think about something, dream, distract from problems.

Another important component of "anti-aging" activities is the training of memory. For this there are many ways, and they can be viewed not as specific exercises, but as an interesting pastime. This is solving crosswords, solving puzzles, Sudoku, learning foreign languages. Every day you need to learn something new, not hoping that the available for forty years horizon for you is sufficient.

Even if you are not worried about anything, after forty years you need to undergo a medical examination. Many diseases can start asymptomatically, so it is better to know about them in advance. These measures can not be called any special actions, it's the same life as before, but with some adjustments. However, here is the paradox - without changing your habits after forty years, you will quickly realize that you were wrong, and after a few revisions of your lifestyle, you simply will not feel your age nedug. en.
