If you follow, you will live a blissful life.
I discovered it at 50, when I decided to live the third and last innings of life a little differently. Though I have been practicing most of the tips since 2018, there was still a feeling of incompleteness, all the time and that is when I realized I need to rework on my strategies. So let's begin with the top three health tips :
- Know your appetite and consume food that you can digest, and its you and only you who can do that. There are thousands or even more articles in the internet that would tell you about several varieties of healthy food, but at the end, it depends on what you can digest. Even doctors advise lots of good stuff, but at the end it's your craving or appetite that matters and only you can feel that and control as well. So know your body, feel the signs it shows you and choose your food accordingly, you are the best doctor for your body, if you can do that. Otherwise, if you go to doctors, they will write stories and make you believe in them. One such story recently came in front of me - a friend came and said the doctor has advised him to take less sugar at this age and I asked, did you ask why ? Do you have diabetes ? He said, nothing specific, he said, in general, its good to take less sugar at this age. This is not completely right, because your body will reduce insulin production, if it feels you don't need them. White Sugar has components which are bad for health, but there are better alternatives like Date Sugar, Honey, Jaggery etc. So don't stop consuming sweet things, if your body is capable of digesting them. It will show you warnings, feel it. I love sweets and as you know in my place, we have so many choices that it's hard to resist. But my body tells me to not take them after evening, so I eat them in day time. Similarly I am not comfortable taking red meat often, so I take weekly once or quarterly or even more. So the idea is let your body tell you what goes well.
- Do some form of exercise consistently, be it walking, running, cycling or any other sports. The key here is discipline, I know, it's difficult, but not impossible. At this age, it needs dedication because excuses quickly takes over otherwise. We all have so many things to do, but to do them most efficiently, you have to be the best version of yourself. And this is directly related to your appetite, you will start enjoying the food and good food and exercise helps you retain strength. There is no other valuable asset than physical strength. If you are not physically fit, then whatever amount of money or luxury you may have, you can't enjoy them.
- Control your desires, emotions and have good sleep. This is the master blaster of all the tips, but the hardest as well. I remember I loved to sleep and could sleep for 9-10 hours in the night at one go. But then with growing responsibilities, level of stress drastically affects sleep quality. And there is no medicine to help you to control your stress level ( though there are alternative seductive that can help you sleep but that becomes addictions). I believe, naturally controlling stress is the most difficult job in this world, and those who can, are the happiest people. I have very few people around me who never are stressed and lead a healthy and happy life. But that's just very few, if you are one of them, then never give up being like that. But the negative side of these people are that, they are not serious about anything - that's their nature. So see, their wives still complain about them. So the point I am trying to make is nothing is perfect and I am trying to accept that of late. If you question, then you start building dissatisfaction and drink the poison yourself even though you think, you are showing the anger / frustration to someone else. Instead follow a LET-GO attitude, which I have been following for last few months, and the result is amazing. Everything comes in a package, having both good and bad. Divine touch helps a lot to heal the inner self and stick to the LET-GO attitude, I guess, it will take a while for it to become a habit.
It's said Happiness comes from within but for that to happen, everything surrounding you should be as you expect, and that's the hard part. It's easy to be a saint and be happy, but its difficult when you have a family. The only way it is practically possible is that you live like a saint in your own house (Damn difficult, isn't it ?). For that, we will have to accept things as they are - Acceptance is key to a healthy and happy life. As taught by Bhagavad Gita, one quote that heals us quickly in every situation - This time will also pass.
BG 2.14: O son of Kunti, the contact between the senses and the sense objects gives rise to fleeting perceptions of happiness and distress. These are non-permanent, and come and go like the winter and summer seasons. O descendent of Bharat, one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed.
So enjoy the ride, that you have got. Look around for things, that makes you happy, enjoy the food that you eat ( never eat in haste). Most people realize late and by the time we start living, the major part of life is gone. But hey, at least let's make the rest memorable and have a lovely finish ?

My husband commented to me one day: How well you know your body!
Because I had a strange passage and without consulting a doctor I realized what happened.
So over the years we began to recognize the mechanism and functioning of our body, and as you say, so much sugar is not advisable but there are other more organic types that far from affecting us benefit us.
There are so many things that we should not do consciously to take care of our bodies that the best way after all is to be aware of the signs, but here begins our first acceptance.
Let's enjoy the journey, and thanks for bringing us your experiences.
Exactly....the idea is to avoid processed food as much as possible. We take sugarcane juice disproportionately.....and the body is easy with it...so as jaggery.....
Running is the best and an all-round exercise for me. I run at least 5 KM a day. It also releases happy hormones.
Yes and during our old age, we might realize it profoundly.
Do deep breathing every day for at least 20-30 mins and see the change. 90% of the stress thing is rooted in "how we breathe". Deep breathing, like a newborn baby, is the way to get rid of stress and stay happy from the inside.
Very true.
I love these tips......Thank you.

🙏🙏🙏
That's a very good practice, if you can keep up for life, then I guess, you will be always healthy.
for sure......i dont go to gym, but I do run every day.
Thank you.
🙏🙏🙏
Health is real wealth. Worldly things can only be enjoyed with a good health. You have maintained yourself so well, no one can say you are 50 years old. What is more fascinating is the black color hairs, most of the male these days are with gray hair in their 30s and 40s. You must have some secret to have such black hair at the age of 50.
You are health tips are well noted and well placed. I will follow the suite.
Cheers.
Cool tips that obviously work because you look younger than you are :) Btw any updates on your "football career"? :)

Yes, we lost that field and after that I did not go because they were just managing in a little ground. Now they have moved to another ground, an interesting story behind that. Next time I go to native, I am in, will share more details then.
Thanks for hinting us on this, no wonder you look younger than your age.
Exercise and physical activity are very important to stay healthy. Apart from this, it is very important to control the diet, eat nutritious food and eat a balanced diet. Regular sleep is necessary because sleep helps in blood production. We have to leave the tension and celebrate life with joy. Great post
100 %, they will help us regain the energy.
As someone who is closer to 40 than further from it I appreciate these tips. In particular, there is one that resonates with something I heard long ago that I live my life by - chase peace, not happiness.
You gave very good advice and I should follow all of them but especially the one about sleep because often because of various commitments I don't sleep when I should

Sleep is the biggest asset, if you get sleep naturally, then don't play with it, because I did the same mistake and it has taken six months to be able to sleep naturally, but still I get up often in the middle. Commitments, schedules, everything else, are not higher priority than your life.

I'm in my late 30s, so the timing of this post couldn't be better. I'm glad to read something like this from someone who has gone through their 40s and managed to live a healthy and happy life.
Great insights, I'll definitely start paying more attention to my body and its needs!
Our body is made to tell us what's going wrong, and today medicare is simply loot. So better to be in control, so as to never need medicare.

❤️ @bhattg suggested sagarkothari88 to upvote your post ❤️
I should apply it next year. 😊😊 Since there are only three months remaining, I should continue not doing the exercise.😄 I'm lazy in this part, I can manage the sleep and the food intake.😊
Thank you for this wonderful tips. 😊
You should start applying from today, a little 10 mins walk every day, will let you feel the difference.
Oh.. thank you for the suggestion. 😊 I thought it must be 30 minutes a day, but I can choose a 10-minute walk. Well, I think I can manage it tomorrow since this time in my country, it is now 11 pm and a time to sleep.😊
There is nothing, that has to be must. Start with anything that you can and do it consistently.
Thank you very much for the motivation.😊
All tips are useful and by applying them we can see a big difference 😀
But as the responsibility increases it really becomes a little difficult.... I wish I can also apply those tips for a better life ...
Wish you good luck 😀
I too have responsibilities, but to perform them better you need to think about yourself first.
You are right
There aren't natural way to actually control stress like you've said, and I think that it's because life is demanding. However, we can control the things we can like having a good lifestyle.
You talked about exercise and I must agree. I just hit 32 and apart from the medical conditions I have, I think it gets harder when we grow older
Daily exercise is supposed to be a part of our everyday life
We need it to survive and shed some weight
Nice advice!
Thank you very much for these useful tips
I’d practice them more
excellent advice friend to lead a calmer life after that age of 40 and I have very little left to enter them so I will take them into account
Some practical tips, from my experience.
Thank you very much, they will be well received and I will put them into practice soon.
This are essential tips for healthy life in any phase. Points are noted sir.
Seeing this post today, we shouldn't feel less concern about involving ourselves in some physical activities that will really help a lot coupled with healthy food.
tips to have let's say a second youth thanks for your help
stay happy and avoid stress. I hope you are always healthy sir
Thank you so much.

You're already 50? Unbelievable! You look really young!
I totally agree with this. I've been cooking my own food as much as possible. This way I know what's in my food. Best way to manage what gets in my system because as they say, garbage in, garbage out. I want to fuel my body with only the best sources of nutrition.
Louder for the people at the back!!! I've seen in mainstream socmed that people are joining run clubs, hitting the gym like there's no tomorrow. Although there's terrribly nothing wrong with this, my father who recently turned 80 proved me there's no need for an expensive gym member or run clubs to be fit. He just moves around our house doing chores in our small garden, picking twigs and branches for our dirty kitchen, cleaning after our pigs and live chicken. these might be low impact but he does these things every day. I guess it's paying off!
Same here, I don't go to gym, just run around the society, do stretching, cycling etc.
Hello,
I really like your advice, especially this one about knowing ourselves and not forgetting the need to keep active, whether it's exercising, cycling, walking... it closes the circle. It's all about getting and spending energy wisely. I wish many young people would take advice like that. It's sad to see how people get sick because of inadequate management of their body and emotions and then it's hard to recover.
Thank you for your contribution to this Weekend Engagement.
It is really necessary that we always pay attention to our health because it is what actually will shape us and keep us sustained
