Health keys at 40

This post came to me in the middle of a workout….

1)Health insurance

2)Life insurance

3)A good dentist (bad oral hygiene leading to gum disease can cause cardiovascular and/or heart disease)

4)At least 3 days of strength training (as we get older testosterone and muscle decrease) retain muscle to keep mobility, decrease chances of injury and common colds.

5)Strong core- helps keep you active with kids/grandkids. Decrease daily aches and pains. Helps decrease chances of developing low back issues

6)A good mattress- some of the aches,pains, and low back issues are from that old mattress you’ve been sleeping on. Waking up still tired every morning. Yup, I’ve been there myself. A solid mattress where we spend most of our lives is game changer and really overlooked.

Bonus*

A great chiropractor- keep your body in line. And these sessions also help you keep in tune with how you’re sleeping, movements/positions daily that you’re doing that are harming you.
