By the time a person\u00a0recognizes that they\u2019re getting older, it\u2019s safe to assume\u00a0they\u00a0aren\u2019t thinking about longevity. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n What they\u2019re typically\u00a0thinking\u00a0is \u2018<\/span>how long has that been hurting? Why can't I remember where I left my keys? Why am I so tired all the time?\u00a0Why don\u2019t I do that thing I love anymore?\u201d<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The trouble is, without some long-term planning, it\u2019s difficult to escape\u00a0the daily issues that not only\u00a0plague our present, but also contribute to a\u00a0long-term decline in health.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For this person to live their best possible life at any age, and to be truly present in the lives of their\u00a0kids and grandchildren, they have to start thinking seriously about preserving and improving their lives. What they need is a <\/span>framework for longevity<\/span><\/b>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In today\u2019s world, good health is a competitive advantage.\u00a0Here\u2019s an easy\u00a04-step\u00a0framework derived from decades of experience in age management to help you live (well) into your Golden Years.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Research tells us that<\/span>\u00a0one of the most important keys to longevity is exercise\u00b9.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>According to the CDC, regular exercise for an adult over 40 can add up to 3.4 years to their natural lifespans\u00b2.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>In addition to the positive <\/span>effect<\/span> it has on your bones, muscles and joints, regular exercise is also linked to lower instances of diabetes, <\/span>cancer and high blood pressure. Physical activity is also a great way to reli<\/span>e<\/span>ve stress and decompress<\/span>, so commit to\u00a0at least four, half-hour activities a week where your heart really gets pumping<\/span><\/span>.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n What good is a long life if you aren\u2019t fit enough to enjoy it? This simple idea is why we think it's important for people to work on developing the three pillars of fitness.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Aerobic Fitness\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Aerobic fitness is all about strengthening the heart and lungs. Its purpose is to improve our\u00a0body\u2019s ability to breathe\u00a0and give muscles the oxygen they need to be more efficient.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Muscle Strength\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n As we age, we lose muscle, limiting our ability to lift or push things and even how long we can sustain an activity. Muscle strength is developed through resistance training, specifically designed to increase muscle size, power and endurance.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Flexibility\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n During exercise, our\u00a0muscles are repeatedly\u00a0contracting. Once built, these muscles need to be regularly stretched to maintain their mobility and function. While we\u2019re talking about recovery, remember that giving your\u00a0muscles, mind and body ample rest has one of the most significant impacts on your longevity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Words have incredible power. Affirmations are like little love letters you can send yourself to reinforce positive thinking and behaviors.\u00a0Limiting yourself to two at a time helps you\u00a0concentrate on clear goals, motivates you to act and helps turn negative patterns into healthy ones.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Even under the best circumstances, getting older can be tricky to navigate. Declining hormone levels, muscle mass and energy are only the tip of the iceberg for aging adults. The first step in any health journey should be to establish a baseline and that\u2019s only\u00a0possible with a <\/span>comprehensive evaluation<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n At <\/span>HealthGAINS<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, every patient\u2019s journey begins with one of these evaluations. They\u00a0carefully examine more than 200 biomarkers to identify exactly what\u2019s going on inside your body. <\/span>Unlike most primary care providers, the experts at HealthGAINS specialize in age management and hormone therapy<\/a><\/strong>.<\/strong> That\u2019s\u00a0why\u2014after analyzing your baseline\u2014they\u2019re able to provide you with a personalized strategy to help you\u00a0maximize your longevity and achieve your goals, from better sleep and strength to enhanced focus, energy and intimacy.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n There are many challenges to growing older.
