Degeneration is inevitable. Our lifestyle choices impact it. Healthy lifestyle choices lead to better health and a longer life span, whereas consuming sugary food and smoking can cause serious health problems and eventually shorter life spans.
Here’s a list of 5 things that can reverse the process of degeneration.
Physical activity
Our bodies are designed to be physically active. Exercise can do things that medicines cannot. It is observed that people who exercise daily remain healthier and younger than those who don’t.
Performing a hard-core workout seems impossible in pain. Instead, thirty minutes of walking daily is enough to keep you physically active and maintain a healthy weight. Exercising 3-4 days a week keeps you active and pain-free as it helps build muscle mass and strength.
Diet
We must monitor the nutrients and benefits of the food we eat. Food provides energy and keeps us healthy and active. Here is a list of things you must watch out
- Avoid processed canned food such as chips, soft drinks, candies, and cookies.
- Avoid partially hydrogenated fats like those found in coconut and palm oils. Instead, choose almond, flaxseed, or olive oil, which have numerous health benefits.
- Omega-3 fatty acids in fish are beneficial to reverse the process of degeneration.
Social connectivity
