As our body reaches the adult stage, we have gained all the essential nutrients required. Once we cross our 40s, we start growing old and our body needs some different level of care and attention. In this blog, Rubina Ratnakar gives some tips that will help you in staying healthy while growing old. 

One should begin with increasing the amount of physical activity. The more you exercise and keep your body in a good condition, the more you will see your health getting better. Make a routine that involves at least 45 minutes of physical activity every day.

After stepping into adulthood, the person is moving into the next phase. Your body is going to require a lot of supplements. Some of them are calcium, iron, Vitamin D, Vitamin B6, and Vitamin B12.

Even if you are in your early ages, a healthy and balanced diet is a must. The components needed by our body are carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, vitamins, and fibers as well. Our diet needs to be a blend of all these in the right amount. (175)

Since your body is growing old your immunity is also changing. We are not as strong and repellant towards diseases as we used to be before. So, we should pay extra attention to boosting our immunity and stay healthy all the time.

Full body checkups and periodic vaccination when a new virus is detected are a must. You have to keep your body ready to combat any problems coming your way. Make sure you monitor your health carefully and pay extra attention to the fluctuations.

Wash your hands regularly and try to keep your surroundings clean. Healthy habits lead to a healthy body. Prevention is always better than cure, so make sure you prepare your body to stay fit and healthy.
