HACK #1: WATER š§
āOne of the single best steps you can take for your body is swapping water for soda.ā
ā Dr. Vonda Wright, Unbreakable: A Womanās Guide to Aging with Power
Water does a lot more than quench your thirst. Dr. Wright explains that it helps produce the fluid that lubricates and nourishes our cartilage and can also help reduce inflammation and swelling- all especially important as we age.
She offers a simple place to start: multiply your body weight in pounds by .5 to estimate your baseline ounces of fluid per day.ā¤ļø
HACK #2: MOVEMENT šš¾āāļø
āIf you want to keep kicking a*s as you age, power is key.ā
ā Stacy T. Sims, PhD, Next Level: Your Guide to Kicking A*s, Feeling Great, and Crushing Goals Through Menopause and Beyond
As our hormones change, maintaining muscle, strength and power becomes even more important. Dr. Sims emphasizes strength training, particularly progressively heavier resistance, to help preserve muscle, support bone density and keep our bodies strong and capable as we age.ā¤ļø
HACK #3: SLEEP š“
āIf weāre going to truly thrive, we must begin with sleep.ā
ā Arianna Huffington, The Sleep Revolution
In The Sleep Revolution, Huffington reminds us that sleep isnāt time wasted- itās essential to how well we live. She explores how restorative sleep supports our physical health, brain function, energy and overall well-being, while chronic sleep deprivation can affect our health in ways that become increasingly important as we grow older.
Aging vibrantly doesnāt have to be complicated, or expensive.
