How to protect yourself against common age-related health conditions?

Activities that promote healthy ageing should start well before one turns 60 — or even 50. Seniors can stay healthy by making right lifestyle decisions. As one of the leading retirement homes in Bangalore, we share with you a few useful insights on how you can protect yourself against common age-related health conditions:  

Lower risk of Dementia: According to a study, adults who followed a Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet  in combination with aerobic exercise experienced a significant improvement in brain function. The diet consists of a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and whole grain foods. In addition to eating healthy and exercising regularly, it is important that you get adequate sleep. It has been found that sleep and cognitive functioning appear to be related in late life.

Reduce risk of Type 2 Diabetes: Type 2 Diabetes is a serious health condition that can lead to a wide range of complications including heart disease, kidney damage, and eye damage. It may sound obvious that to reduce the risk of type 2 Diabetes, you must cut down on your sugar intake. But it is not that easy – you have to pay attention to your fibre intake and lifestyle. It has been found that a fibre diet can be beneficial in the prevention of type 2 Diabetes. A fibre-rich diet consists of fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. Along with diet, regular exercise is also important. A sedentary lifestyle is associated with greater risk for type 2 Diabetes.
Lower heart disease risk: One of the many factors that increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases are high cholesterol levels. To lower your risk of heart disease, follow a cholesterol-lowering diet. It has been found that including foods such as soy protein, tomatoes, flaxseeds, and almonds can help reduce LDL (bad cholesterol) levels. According to another study, aerobic and anaerobic exercises promote cardiovascular health and reduce the risk of heart disease.
