“Unlock the Secrets: 21 Surprising Tips to Embrace Aging with Elegance!”
10. Forgive
When you’ve lived a long life, chances are people will have wronged you along the way. And not everyone deserves the privilege of your company, especially if they have a history of being toxic. The question, though, is whether it’s serving you to remain angry at them indefinitely—because indeed, holding a grudge negatively impacts your mental and physical health. The same goes for guilt and shame you may be harboring for your own misdeeds. Make amends, learn, and then move on.
When you acknowledge a painful situation and release it, you make room for positivity in your life and help relax your mind and body. Less stress, more happiness is a great goal as you grow older. Counselors, therapists, and spiritual advisors can help you with the process of forgiveness.
11. Maintain Muscle Mass
Unfortunately, it becomes challenging to maintain muscle mass after our 30s, and with each passing decade, it gets even more difficult. But don’t let that discourage you— can build and maintain muscle mass at any age.
Add strength training (with weights, bands, or both) at least two to three times a week to keep muscles mighty. Try wearing a weighted vest or backpack when you exercise or go for walks; this is known as “rucking,” and it helps improve strength, endurance and overall fitness level.
In addition to adding strength training to your day-to-day, make sure you eat enough protein in every meal. Yes, that’s right, prioritize protein in your breakfast, lunch, and dinner! The combination of exercise and nutrition will help your muscles keep you moving with independence as you age. Speak with your doctor or nutritionist to see how much protein you should be eating for your age, gender, and activity level.
