At age 40, you’ve probably found yourself with more responsibilities than you had as a teenager, but less time to take care of yourself. If you’re looking to maintain your health and wellness into your golden years, check out these five tips for staying healthy after age 40.

1) Watch your diet

To keep your brain, memory and heart healthy as you age, it’s a good idea to watch what you eat. Include plenty of fruits and vegetables in your diet because they contain antioxidants that can boost your immune system. Also, make sure to get regular exercise every day. And don’t forget about vitamin D: research has shown that low levels of D can contribute to poor health as we age.

 

2) Exercise regularly

Exercising regularly will not only keep your heart and bones healthy, but it will also improve your mood and energy levels. As you get older, you’ll need to be more careful about how you exercise; make sure to check with your doctor before beginning any new exercise routine or making drastic changes to your current one.

3) Sleep well

Getting just a couple hours less sleep than you need per night can have serious consequences. Not only can it make you irritable and less productive during your waking hours, but it also increases your chance of having cardiovascular disease or becoming obese, according to Harvard Medical School. Don’t think you can get away with skimping on sleep—even if you’re young!

4) Take supplements if needed

Vitamins and supplements are a good way to ensure you’re getting everything you need, especially if your diet is lacking in any particular area. While not a substitute for healthy eating, they can help make up any deficit. The Centers for Disease Control recommend taking 1,000 IU of vitamin D every day. If you have trouble getting all of your vitamins from food alone, consider taking daily multivitamins to fill in any gaps in your diet.

5) Relaxation Techniques and Meditation

While some people think relaxation is something only young people can do, that’s far from true. In fact, a more relaxed lifestyle has many health benefits, especially as we get older. To live a happy and healthy life after age 40—the rate of heart disease tends to increase after your early fifties—it’s vital to keep a regular meditation and relaxation routine.
