Starting to lead a healthy lifestyle is not so easy, but with age, problems accumulate, even if they do not make themselves known.
It is believed that 40 years is the very milestone when you need to take full responsibility for your health in order to avoid serious problems in the future.
Experts recommend introducing a minimum set of habits into your life.
First: healthy sleep
It is important to maintain a sleep schedule, as lack of sleep can lead to hormonal disruptions, affect eating behavior, and also affect mental and heart health.
Therefore, sleep should be 7-8 hours a day.
Second: sports training
It's time to start leading an active lifestyle and paying attention to training 2-3 days a week.
The fact is that after 35 years, muscle mass and bone density begin to decrease.
Only strength training can help prevent these changes.
Third: proper diet
It is important to consume more protein, which is essential for metabolism and muscle mass.
Protein needs to be consumed throughout the day.
Fourth: regular medical examination
It is extremely important to pay attention to heart health, as it is at this age that the risk of heart attack increases.
In addition to consulting a doctor, you need to monitor your blood pressure and blood sugar levels.
