SENIOR CITIZENS CORNER - A.M. Dela Serna - Banat

Alang niadtong nangandoy pang muabot og 100, ania kining gikan sa Internet, sa Yahoo Mail, napulo ka sugyot unsay angay buhaton o likayan, aron maangkon himsog nga panglawas: 

1. Eat foods that boost your lifespan. If you want to increase your life expectancy, try eating nutrient-rich foods such as fruit and vegetables and plenty of oily fish. Oily fish, such as salmon, mackerel, sardines and trout, are a good source of vitamins A and D, which are good for the immune system, and omega-3 fatty acids, which have been linked to a lowered risk of heart disease and stroke. 

2. Learn how to deal with stress. Stress affects just about every aspect of our health. As well as its mental and emotional implications, stress can contribute to high blood pressure and weight gain. 

3. Think yourself young (ayaw pagtiniguwang). While ageing is an inevitable part of life, researches have demonstrated that it may be possible to think yourself younger.  Try to adopt a younger, more positive mindset to stay physically and mentally younger for longer.

4. Become a volunteer. Not only is volunteering is good for boosting your emotional wellbeing and creating social bonds, it could also help you to live longer. However, your motives need to be right in order to reap the rewards, as people who volunteered in order to help others – rather than for their own personal satisfaction – were found to live longer than those who didn’t.

5. Quit smoking. Smoking is one of the world’s biggest killers and is a cause of many chronic and life-threatening diseases, including cancer and heart disease. In fact, statistics show that approximately every six seconds, someone dies due to tobacco. To increase your life expectancy and quality of life, try to quit smoking now. 

6. Laugh more. Ayaw sige’g mug-ot diha. Laughter boosts your health, including lowering blood pressure levels, reducing bad cholesterol, enhancing the immune system and helping blood vessels to function better.

7. Stay active. For every hour you watch TV you may shorten your life by as much 22 minutes! To increase your health and life expectancy, try heading out for a walk after your evening meal rather than settling down for a TV marathon. 

8. Have regular health checks. It is never worth taking a chance on your health. Look after your body and help to extend your life expectancy by visiting your doctor about any concerns you may have and making time for regular health checks.

9. Get more sleep. The powers of a good night’s sleep are often underestimated; however, getting enough sleep is essential for good health. Lack of sleep can also increase stress levels, which is bad news for our health. To boost your wellbeing, try to make sleep a priority and adopt good sleeping habits; going to bed and getting up at the same time each day.

10. Improve your social life. If you want to live to 100, it’s worth taking some time to nurture your friendships. Having regular contact with your friends can help you to live longer by reducing feelings of depression, stress and risky behavior, and encouraging you to look after your health.
