Easily Adopted Habits that Lead to Big Benefits

Aging well is all about the habits you adopt earlier in life, and these three habits come with huge benefits down the road.

Do a full body workout, with weights, 3 times a week. It may be tempting to select a light jog or bike ride as a form of exercise, and if you enjoy those activities, by all means continue to do them! Full body workouts with weights, however, provide the best bang for the buck when it comes to benefit, both short and long-term, physical and cognitive.

Sleep a full 7-8 hours a week. It’s far too easy to get caught up in a busy schedule, especially when trying to maintain a healthy balance between work life and personal life. That said, the body needs time to recuperate in order to function at peak efficiency, and this is especially true over time as wear and tear accumulates. Making sleep a priority will have enormous lasting benefits that are well worth sacrificing other things for.

Walk for 30 minutes a day. Walking may not provide much in terms of the benefits associated with more strenuous physical activity, but it helps break up a day, clear your head, shift focus, and ensure a proper dose of fresh air, all of which come with numerous physical and cognitive benefits down the road.
