EXERCISE HABITS

EXERCISE HABITS THAT SLOW AGING

Exercising frequently

Research suggests that regular exercise, especially at moderate intensity, including aerobics and brisk walking, can increase cardiovascular fitness and reduce aging. It also increases brain power that reverses the issue of declining memory in older adults. Exercising regularly throughout your life can improve your immunity, reduce cholesterol, and add muscle mass. As a result, an individual stays away from chronic diseases and gains a youthful body due to the limited aging signs brought by regular exercise.

Dancing as a lifestyle

Most people think that exercise only involves jumping and expending a lot of energy to achieve the benefits. But they do not know how much they can gain from a simple dance. Even research suggests that dancing can reduce cognitive decline and improve balance. It can also promote happiness and improve mood; factors that contribute to a healthy and slow aging. If you think dancing is not your thing because you have ‘two left legs’, please join a dance class and see how easy it can be.

Weightlifting

Weightlifting is wonderful for strong muscles and good bone health. It also increases metabolic wellness and mobility, without forgetting mental health. Incorporating strength training in your exercise routine can tighten loose muscles, which reduces wrinkles formation and fine lines. It also increases sweating, which keeps your body free from toxics and leaves the skin feeling younger than it is.

The work of a family doctor includes a wide range of clinical diversity, which requires extensive knowledge and erudition from a specialist. However, I believe that the most important thing for a family doctor is to be human because the cooperation and understanding between the doctor and the patient are crucial in ensuring successful health care. On my days off, I love being in nature. Since childhood, I have been passionate about playing chess and tennis. Whenever I have time off, I enjoy traveling around the world.
