As we age, we should endeavour to have our health as one of our top priority in order to have a healthy living.
We should consider the amount of calories we chun in into our body system, make sure that you eat right food and calories that are enriched with good quality nutrients that our body desire in every step our life.

Some Medical Experts advised that we need to change our eating ways once we clock 30yrs, stating that males should costume 2,200 calories daily and females 1,980 calories. Which decreases as you become 70 years old.

Below Are 7 Healthy Guides To Maintain A Healthy Life:

● Eat Bananas
This fruit is rich in potassium and it is linked to the reduction of high blood pressure. For those at risk, please eat at least 2 bananas a day. It also reduce the risk of stroke linked to aging.

● Clean Water
Clean water is vital for your overall good health, as we age, we get prone to dehydration, mainly for those that are placed on blood pressure prescription drugs.
And Research shows that dehydration is one of the reasons that older folks are admitted in the medical clinic.

The women folks are greatly advised to drink up 9 cups of water while the men drink up 13 cups of water daily.
Please ensure that you cut down from coffee intake, alcohol because these are diuretics that increases dehydration risk.

● Take Calcium Rich Foods And Supplements
To help reduce the risk of bone fractures and brittles, we should eat dairy foods loaded with calcium and supplements.
Adults are encouraged to take in 1000 Milligrams of calcium daily.

Veggies rich in calcium are Carrots, all Green Vegetables, Sweet Potatoes, Butternut Squash Turnips, Lima Beans, Parsnips.
Fruits rich in calcium are Oranges, Dried apricot Kiwi, Tangerines, Pear, Dates, Dried Figs.

● Lutein For Good Eye-sight
As you age your eyesight might be challenging and can be led to cataracts, to avoid this you need to indulge yourself in
consuming lutein which is also called EYE VITAMIN.

Please this is to be taken once you get to 40 years of age, you can get Lutein from leafy veggies, eggs yolks, grapes, sweetcorn, oranges.
Lutein is also linked to beta-carotene and it's an antioxidant which protects the eye.

● Reduce Your calorie Intake
We should know by now that our metabolic rate reduces as we get older, therefore cutting down our calories. Eating much calories will definitely increase heart disease and make us prone to diabetes.
Engage in exercise suitable for you, don't sit at a place, get moving and be physically active and fit. Walking is a good source for older adults.

● Take Vitamin B12 Supplements
This vitamin might be disregarded but it is very essential to our healthy living, it is required to produce red blood cells and improve our nerve function.

Vitamin B12 fuels the brain and it being deficient of it causes impaired nerve function and cognitive decline.
Our body absorbed it as we eat some animal proteins and dairy produce such as eggs, milk,and meat. Vitamin B12 can also be derived from cells that are fortified and also from supplements.

● Supplements
Generally eating foods and consuming fruits and veggies are the best ways and source to get nutrients from. But if we are not getting enough vitamins and nutrients from them, then we can augment with supplements. And they are taken to help improve our good health with essential nutrients.

As we get older we need these supplements to be able to live healthy, although too much of it might be damaging to us, so it will best to seek your doctor's advice before taking supplements and he will recommend the best supplements your body needs.

So here you have it folks, please ensure to take your health serious whether your are young or old. Healthy Living increases your Life Span, stay fit and sleep well, eat right and enjoy a healthy lifestyle as you age.
