At the age of 45, as a milestone of middle age, it is not only the increase in age but also a critical period of physical transition. Many people at this stage may find a decline in physical fitness and be more susceptible to various health challenges. Especially for women, with the onset of menopause, the aging process may accelerate.
Prior to this, many people are used to overextending their bodies, staying up late, and irregular eating habits may seem insignificant. However, upon reaching the threshold of 45 years old, if one does not adjust their lifestyle, break free from bad habits, pursuing longevity may become increasingly difficult.
Smoking and drinking, habits that were once seen as exclusive to men, now also affect many women. They silently erode the lungs, liver, and even the intestines, accelerate organ aging, and trigger various health problems.
Dehydration, a seemingly insignificant habit, actually has a significant impact on the body. Water accounts for seventy percent of the human body, and prolonged dehydration can weaken metabolism, leading to toxin accumulation, posing a threat to health. Therefore, ensuring an adequate daily water intake not only assists in detoxification but also benefits kidney health.
As one ages, the consequences of staying up late become more serious. Reduced resilience, increased physical and mental burdens, and continuous late nights may lead to rapid aging, and even affect liver and cardiovascular health. Maintaining a regular schedule, ensuring sufficient sleep, supplemented with foot baths, moderate exercise, can significantly boost immunity, and maintain physical health.
Emotional management is equally important. Around the age of 45, especially for perimenopausal women, emotional fluctuations can be detrimental to health. Maintaining a positive mindset, dealing with life’s challenges properly, especially when facing chronic illnesses, following medical advice, actively seeking treatment, can greatly benefit longevity.
Bone strength decreases with age, making strengthening exercises and calcium supplementation particularly important. A balanced diet, avoiding picky eating, maintaining both light meals and comprehensive nutrition, is a good strategy to promote longevity. In the summer, protect joints from air conditioning, pay attention to keeping warm daily, prevent colds and infectious diseases, which should not be neglected.
Entering middle age, by changing lifestyle habits such as quitting smoking, limiting alcohol intake, staying hydrated, maintaining a regular schedule, emotional regulation, strengthening exercise, and having a balanced diet, one can effectively maintain health and lay a solid foundation for longevity.
