Choose your workout

Exercising doesn't need to be boring or something that leaves you feeling sick or too tired. Choose fun exercise options such as a dance or Zumba class, a fun sport or join a group workout.

Go plant based

Your digestive system and metabolism naturally slows down as you age. Instead of eating unhealthy or fatty red meat that can be difficult to digest, enjoy more healthy plant based options.

Less salt, more water

Consuming high amounts of sodium can lead to high blood pressure. Cut back on salt in your favourite foods and opt for a handy water bottle to track your daily water intake.

Don't push yourself 

Your body is not young and won't bounce back as easily. Do not let this dishearten you or change your fitness goals. Workout and eat as healthy as you can without restricting yourself.

Walk more

Walking is an underrated fitness activity. Instead of driving, take a walk as much as you can. It helps clear your mind and also burns extra calories.

Gut health
