Press Release Body: Keys to Healthy Aging

All people get old; that is a fact. Try as people may to slow the aging process, the
fact is, time still manages to cope with people. Getting old is one aspect of life
that all humans have to face. Like birth and death, aging is inevitable. There is no
denying the reality that all people go through this process. There are lots of
things that people do nowadays to decelerate the process of aging. Most women who
are afraid to face the mirror and see the effects age have on their appearances
constantly go under the knife to make the wrinkles in their faces disappear. Botox
is just among those famous non-surgical injection that deter the advent of age on
their looks. But the need to possess a younger facade is just one of many concerns
people getting on with age have to deal with. Healthy aging tops the list of
people\'s concerns. While facial rejuvenation is easily achieved through medical
methods, healthy aging is a process that does not happen overnight. It requires a
healthy lifestyle from those who want to attain it.

According to Genf20.com, the amount of the person\'s human growth hormone decreases
as he gets on with age. The body\'s pituitary gland, which supplies these hormones,
gradually becomes limited in producing them as a person grows older. Experts found
out that these human growth hormones are the ones responsible for a person\'s
vitality and vigor. Studies show that the low level of this body substance is one
factor that contributes to aging. To achieve healthy aging, a person must also
attain high levels of growth hormones.

Young people who are at the pinnacle of their lives seldom worry about their health.
Most young people enjoy bad habits such as smoking and drinking, both of which are
detrimental to their physical well-being. Even though they are aware of the damage
the habits have to their health, they are reluctant on quitting; at least, not until
some serious physical problems start to manifest. More often than not, people decide
to break their bad habits when their health already start to decline. Before these
people decide that they want to achieve healthy aging, it is already too late.

The thing is, healthy aging is both a journey and a process. It takes a healthy
lifestyle to achieve it. Aging gracefully is not something any person can achieve
immediately through a short period of time. There are no immediate cures to aging.
There are no known medical breakthroughs that make anyone younger in an instant.
Similarly, this kind of aging cannot be attained at once. There are products readily
available in the market that promise to slow the process of aging. But these
products and methods, although they guarantee positive results, works gradually as
well. Before the emergence of products that offer revitalization of an aging human
body, there are other ways to maintain a healthy and active aging.

Exercise is one major element for living a healthy lifestyle. People who lead
healthy and active lives usually include exercise in their daily routines. Exercise
proves beneficial to both one\'s mental and physical well-being. It does not only
help improve the state of some illnesses but also counteracts them. A regular
exercise routine increases energy and endurance. Likewise, the muscular strength and
flexibility are also improved. With regular exercise, joint swelling and blood
pressure are reduced. The good thing about light workouts is that it actually
improves the immune system. An everyday exercise routine does not need to be
strenuous and intense. Senior people can do light physical activities to achieve
healthy aging. Doing everyday chores like gardening and going up and down the stairs
are already forms of exercise. Older people can handle light isometrics, but it is
still best to consult a physician before engaging on any type of workout.

Equally important in healthy aging is a sound mental and emotional health. What
people don\'t realize is that repressed emotions are detrimental to their health.
There is truth when experts say that laughter is a good medicine. One widely known
problem in a person\'s mental and emotional health is depression. Depression ranks as
the fourth disabling condition according to the World Health Organization. A chronic
dejection is a sign of depression. A recurrent low mood for no apparent reason is
often overlooked by some, but it actually calls for a serious treatment. Older
people also experience depression when they develop a sense of worthlessness. One
way to combat depression is engaging in recreational activities and maintaining
social contacts. Occupying oneself with pastimes lets him expand his possibilities.
In that manner, older people who enjoy learning a new activity feel a sense of
worth. There are programs exclusively established for seniors that help them to
still have active social lives.

Always getting the cholesterol level, glucose level, and blood pressure checked is
also essential in healthy aging. Maintaining a low cholesterol level lowers the risk
of getting a heart attack. Similarly, regularly having a normal blood pressure
lowers the risk of stroke. When these three things get out of hand, health
complications arise, resulting in serious health problems and even death. It is
important to know if someone has normal levels of cholesterol and glucose level, as
well as normal blood pressure, so that a person can take preventive measures.

Another key component in healthy aging is kicking the bad habits. Smoking is a bad
habit that needs to be stopped. Some may say that it is already too late in life to
stop smoking, yet the truth is, there are still benefits even if a person quits at a
later age in life. Research says that the risk of getting lung cancer and other
cigarette-related diseases decreases at whatever age a person stops smoking.
Although it is preferable that a person stop at an early age, it is never too late
to quit smoking. Those who quit smoking even when they are already in their 50\'s and
70\'s can attest that there\'s definitely a reduced case of asthma, ulcer, and other
illnesses. A cigarette stick contains more than 5,000 kinds of chemicals, most of
which are harmful. It is said that smoking a single stick of cigarette cuts back a
person\'s life by five minutes. So really, it is better late than never.

Cancer screening is also a key element in healthy aging. Since the risk of acquiring
cancer increases as a person gets on with age, it is important to detect this
disease at an earlier stage. The chances of cancer being treated is high when it is
discovered early. It is important that a person is aware of symptoms of cancer so
that it can be diagnosed immediately.

Aside from doing physical and social activities, and kicking bad habits, supplements
also help to achieve healthy aging. Since calcium and vitamin intake are important,
these supplements help in providing them. There are also human growth hormone
releasers that promise rejuvenation for older people. Genf20.com says that this new
scientific discovery lets a person restore growth hormones without the pains of
injections and blood monitoring. These supplements supposedly improve the overall
physical well-being as well as other areas of the human body. With the help of these
supplements, plus the maintenance of a sound physical and psychological health,
healthy aging is not a mean feat anymore.
