Cit is said that “age is a number”, but it does not always live up to the quality of life of some people. However, either by the appearance of wrinkles or health problems – the ageing it's something that concerns both men and women.
And so far, there is no miraculous formula that allows you to escape from it. But geriatrics have revealed to HuffPost how they can measure your aging level.
Signs that you are “aging with quality”
Ageing with quality, for Parul Goyal, Vanderbilt Health geriatrician, there are three different components that should be taken into account: A physical health, emotional connection and mental support. Here's what this means in practice:
Dedicate some time to learn new things
“ The older we get, the less opportunities we have to absorb new information”, so these experts encourage the need to devote some time to new mental exercises.
“This will help form new pathways in the brain so that they can remain cognitively strong,” adds the geriatrician.
Recognising your own needs
“ Often people do not age well because they are not transparent about their needs,” says Robyn Golden, vice president of social and community health services at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.
However, the expert clarifies that from a certain age, recognizing one's own needs is not enough. It explains that it is necessary to help people who can listen to these needs, “without making them feel a burden”.
Prioritizing physical health
According to these geriatricians, physical health is not something that should begin to think only with advancing age: “Acknowledging the importance of a nutritious diet and also complementary to the practice of physical exercise are important factors throughout life”,
Goyal points to the need to reconcile this with a healthy diet, rich in fruits and vegetables, and to align with a combination of Mediterranean diet and DASH diet.”.
According to the expert, the DASH diet is “a diet with low sodium content recommended for people with high blood pressure.”
