We recently hosted a wellness webinar about health and aging called Your Health After 40. As we get older, health screenings, regular check-ups, nutrition, and physical activity become increasingly important. Reducing inflammation, which heavily contributes to aging, is also a good practice for those who are approaching or over 40 years old.
Be sure to incorporate these 5 practices to reduce inflammation and age well.
- Consume whole foods. Eat berries, salmon, leafy greens, and whole grains which are all packed with vital nutrients.
- Get movement. Take a walking lunch, practice yoga, and add resistance training to your weekly workout routine.
- Aid digestion. Eat slowly, add fibrous foods or supplements, and drink plenty of water.
- Strengthen your immunity. Help your body stay healthy with zinc, vitamin C, and antioxidants from foods and supplements.
- Take time to relax. Make sure you schedule time in your day to recharge, meditate, and get quality sleep.
