When youth leave us, we must not alter habits of life
Going from 30 to 40, is often more traumatic for some people who reach the half-century. Leaving behind the thirty-dive in their forties suddenly means something like to start looking by far the youth that we will irreparably. But the forty take each passing year more resignation and he summons a serenity that leads us to see things in a more profitable from the fifties.
It is clear that overcoming the legendary line of fifty is entering maturity. We call evil path of seniors. The Nature of the Universe highest wisdom, has established a body behavior, emotional,
From now on, without us noticing, we will change habits gradually. We should seize the occasion and think seriously and calmly to modify slightly our tendencies, without change significantly. When the youth leaves us, we must change some habits, but not necessarily change their lives. From here, we try to point out some of the customs control is good.
Eat less but eat better
When you're young it seems that the body accepts everything. If playing sports above, you are nervous, or has a hyper-activity, but we spend in the intake of "sandwich" with the corresponding hydrate overdose and proteins, though we give more to cholesterol with good rations pork, fried eggs and other colleagues of gluttony, or punishment liver and kidneys with large doses of alcohol, usually low quality by that which is cheaper, that the body is absorbing, like a car engine with few miles, everything will be thrown.
But precisely in the decade of the misunderstood forty is when there are early signs that warn that we have not exactly been exemplary conduct in the matter of food. Therefore, when crossing the mythical barrier of the half century, the body will start to ask for restraint. And we should be generous with your machine because it takes many years of running on the roads of life and we have to go the most difficult stretch with more potholes.
The advice is to eat less but eat better. You have to control uric acid (gout) guarding the excess protein. To do this we will seek compensation through a balanced diet. It is not deprive us of anything, just not to commit excesses. Obviously we can enjoy seafood, but not stuff yourself, we must be cautious with canned and salted, the excess salt, but you need not forgo their use if no stronger reasons.
Resolve to find pleasure in small things. A good initiative will be to try to be more and more gourmet and more gourmet. To do so get used to the variety and small quantities. Many restaurants produce so-called "tasting menu" which usually consist of four or five dishes, based on the specialties of the cuisine of the establishment but with smaller portions, has the advantage of eating a total sound similar but more varied, slightest chance of influencing what not recommended. Remember that "good, if short, doubly good." Take for discovering new working habits and experience, even in your own kitchen, recipes in which to date had provided no; observed as the opening before you a new gastronomic world that you can enjoy a thousand new flavors and culinary creations without falling into saturation.
If you love good seafood is not deprived of them by the blessed drop, opt for taste only a couple of dozen oysters or clams live once and save for the next meal of crabs or shrimps If you like enjoy various forms of pork, do it through a barbecue with small portions of raw sausage, black sausage, chorizo and a "little bit" of bacon, but making sure that everything does not pass between two hundred grams, you can accompany with a pair of slices of country bread rubbed with tomato conveniently, a pinch of salt and good olive oil, preferably nothing refined, which will help with cholesterol.
There are a number of species of fresh fish served in the square sliced into small pieces, such as hake or sea bass. Try to develop them in your own kitchen by following one of the many recipes that contain good books that are offered in bookstores (if you want a recipe, please send an e-mail).
Habitúese to the regular intake of durum wheat pasta. It's a very healthy vehicle, with zero content of cholesterol and the lowest percentage (between 4 and 17%) of saturated fatty acids. Contains the best dietary fiber, with the remarkable property of increasing in the intestine up to fifteen times its weight in oil and 20 times its volume, without producing fermentation and flatulence. During the gastrointestinal tract fiber swells, forming a gelatinous mass that surrounds the food waste. This increases the peristaltic movements of the colon, which helps a bowel movement performed normally, avoiding stagnation and restreñimiento, these very important issues for people starting to be higher.
But remember also the benefit to include in the menu often an appropriate dose of legumes, vegetables and fruits, for his contribution in carbohydrates and vitamins are very necessary, almost indispensable.
Select best drinks
Equally we do about alcohol intake. No need to delete it altogether, unless the state of his body so dictate, but trying to take drinks of proven quality, although more expensive, the solution is to drink a little less.
Get used, as we have recommended to food, to be a little more selective and regulate the actions of each take. For example, the whiskey is a perfect aperitif, digestive, so the same can be taken before a meal in order to stimulate the appetite, and thereafter to help us to better digestion, in which case we can choose by systematically dividing the amount of distillate into two parts and take one as an aperitif and other digestive effect. Beer, when in point of freshness, the first sip is worth infinitely superior to the rest that remains in the jar, which is why it is good to get used to ask for a beer or small glass, then drink beer satisfaction We already have surpassed after the first sip. He is to drink from drinking.
Prefer the long pull, rather than the short and pure glass. A whiskey, gin or vodka, to name but a liquor which is accustomed to drinking glass can be taken with soda, with water or some fruit juice, it will lengthen the content, which means two advantages: first not shake the internal body tissues or membranes buds with alcohol direct whiplash above 40 degrees, the second is that the drink will last longer, so they drink less and consumed alcohol will be ingested and digested more slowly.
Nor tempted to take fill the glass or cup with lots of ice cubes unnecessary because, even in summer, is doing disservice to his larynx and, you know, young exceeded all but over fifty repairs increasingly cost more.
Knowing what you drink
Swallowing liquids in a quantity exceeding a couple of glasses of wine, not full during a meal is not advisable, let alone whether it is or drink water containing carbon dioxide. The excess fluid causes dilation of the food in the stomach and the consequent feeling of heaviness. A couple of glasses of wine selected, not the commonly called "table" or just "common" (those in which the only reference the producer of the concoction, with official consent, is behind a registration number), will help us greatly to perfect digestion, and contributes in some way, not to excessively increase the production of cholesterol in the blood. A good wine is one of the indispensable ingredients of the former and now defunct vaunted "Mediterranean diet".
A good tactic can be used to read the labels on bottles of wine. In them we find, if the winemaker winemaker wants to be honest with your prospects, all details to be sufficiently satisfied as to the broth that we relish. Some bottlers have acquired the healthy habit that fortunately is growing, placing a bottle on the back label that describes a card that informs oenological qualities of the product such as grape variety, harvest date, time aging in barrel and holds as well as a description of the virtues of wine and bottled. The tags, known play, are a wealth of information. It is a healthy habit systematically reject those wines in which the producer relies on the anonymity of a number, which at first glance enables us neither know what wine region comes the contents of the bottle or "carton".
Want you be a good judge of wine and poking around in any publication containing, albeit very short, a dictionary of wine, which you can find the definitions of the various sensations that we can produce a good stock sense. Learn why a wine is labeled as doomed, acetic, fruity, astringent, velvety or tasteless or said of him that is dense, delicate, thin, dull or undecided, to name just a few examples of words commonly used by connoisseurs and tend to look at the tasting sheets.
Stop smoking
If you have been a heavy smoker during its fiftieth anniversary couple, consider the appropriateness of entering a phase of moderation in regard to cigarette smoke by creating your lungs serve as a factory chimney and her trachea.
Nicotine is, apart from a drug that's addictive, most dangerous substance snuff. You are at a ratio of about 2% of a cigarette. Nicotine is an alkaloid very dangerous. Note that the ingestion of only 2 cm of a cigarette by a child is clinically considered a dangerous dose.
Youth, if your health has regularly been good, the smoke was only a part of social life and daily habit. But as the years go by weighing the result of long nicotine and tar entering into the body. The snuff, when the body is not for jokes, and causes rapid breathing, headache, dizziness, intense salivation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, blood pressure may rise, and heartbeat rate increase. Just remember how many friends or acquaintances have suffered a stroke and had to quit mandatory. If you are on time, do it, maybe will not live longer, but live better.
Impose a rule: a cigarette after each meal. This means smoking three cigarettes a day would be better either, but ... Or, switch to the pure you. Smoke less, you know better soon and possibly will be you who is fluent in the vice instead of as now.
Being permanently
If we love a good table for the pleasures that gives us, we love even more our own body, so we can continue to delight without risk. After the hyperactivity own up to forty years, begins to see things differently and, moreover, the less time spent pampering, which rapidly occurs in signals as clear as weight gain, the unwillingness to the practice of sport, take the car to fetch the newspaper ... Daily exercise is necessary always, but much more to take fifty. It is not beating us at once to remove the fatty deposits, or risky practice exercises to believe that we enjoy eternal youth, but to stay in shape. That simple.
For most people, especially adults, preferably an activity of low to moderate intensity, but required a longer duration, specifically recommended for those with low fitness, who are obese, hypertensive or have some system problem cardiovascular. So brisk walking can be as effective as other exercise of more intensity even shorter.
The energy consumed comfortable practicing the sport of walking has to be about 40 calories per mile at a speed of 5 km per hour. Walking is recommended thus slightly between 20 and thirty minutes, provided they do not notice a very fast pulse, and decompensated heart rhythm. Think of the lack of physical activity determines that the blood stagnates in the legs have a greater tendency to coagulate and form clots, with the risks that entails.
Self-manage stress
If you're in good shape, and the doctor in their periodic reviews not been advised to refrain from anything, does not have to change their habits of gourmet. Just apply the rules detailed here. But it is desirable that from the fifties to be a little careful with the tension control. Approximately 30% of adults are too high pressure (hypertension). That is why doctors recommend that after age 20 everyone should be taken regularly to check whether the strain is in its normal values. In this article we address those who have already reached the half century, so that means it is essential to do now what we did when I was probably not necessary.
You have to know that hypertension can suffer when the "minimum" is above 9, or where the maximum is above 14. It is enough pressure taken once every month, for example in the pharmacy, although today there are very few automatic machines that allow perfect do it yourself at home, while the apparatus, not too expensive, serves for the whole family and pays for itself quickly.
If you have hypertension, the first thing to do is go to the doctor. And I already said, balanced life. This means a diet with more fiber and less fat, more exercise and less alcohol, more calcium and less salt, more magnesium and less snuff, etc..
Holiday habits vary
After fifty, consider giving a little twist to your holiday. If possible, divide into two the month of leisure. Spend some of them, eg a week or ten days, to be enjoyed in a spa hotel. It is well known the benefit of application of mineral water are offered at a spa, not only water but man lives and spa, are you enjoying good health or not, offers the opportunity to tone your body in all aspects, including a good table in accordance with the treatment he receives. The doctor-patient relationship in establishing these centers is important, since it is more personal than setting up in a hospital setting, unfortunately less and less endearing. Also of great importance in the results obtained from thermal preventive treatment the ordering of life within the school which, although of a hotel, results in a change in habits, generally unhealthy, everyday life each.
In Spain, we enjoy great hotel establishments dedicated to thermal treatment and an increasing number of customers of these establishments who inevitably end up once they have been known to bottom, repeating visit at least once a year. There we were aware of the need to vary some of our daily actions, without which, fortunately, this involves necessarily have to give our tastes and activities; only do we teach in different ways.
