There are those who age gracefully in Tinley Park IL and those who have considerable trouble with the aging process. Likely, you’ve met one of each type.

None of us really look forward to aging, but there are steps you can take at any stage in life to better your chances of aging gracefully and lowering your risk of many highly preventative diseases and health conditions. For one, regular chiropractic care and all we have to offer in preventative healthcare as your Tinley Park IL chiropractor can be a huge ally in the fight against aging and disease. There are other measures you can take on your own to prevent aging.

Attitude in Tinley Park IL

Attitude is everything. It’s been shown time and time again that adopting a positive attitude leads to a longer, happier life. As well, patients who have a positive attitude tend to fight off illness and recover from diseases as serious as cancer more so than their negative counterparts. A positive attitude may seem difficult at times, but if you begin to focus on the good, count your blessings so to speak, you will have less time to focus on the bad. Sound too easy? It is easy, but it will take some effort. Try this. For one week, every time you have a negative thought, acknowledge it, dismiss it and replace it with two positive thoughts.

Sleep

Sleep deprivation speeds up the aging process. Sleep is your body’s time for maintenance and repairing damage. Think of it this way, if you never maintain your home, won’t it deteriorate faster? The same is true with your body. While you sleep, many processes occur such as cellular rejuvenation and tissue repair. Without this precious time, tissue will break down faster and succumb to the aging process and damage. Aim for 8 hours a night. If you feel rested in the morning and ready to go in the morning without several cups of coffee or an energy drink, you’ve probably had enough sleep!

Work your Brain!

Your brain is an incredible organ and one that needs stimulation or quite literally, portions of it will begin to be inactive. It’s important to stimulate your mind in Tinley Park through problem solving games, reading and most importantly, thought-provoking communication. Avoid watching too much television. Television is actually “boring” for your brain. Your brain seeks stimulation and it’s far too intelligent to be entertained with a passive activity like watching TV. This is one of the reasons people tend to feel depressed or irritable after watching too much television.

There are of course many other things such as healthy food and exercise that will help you age gracefully. Give us a call at our Tinley Park IL chiropractic office and find out more about our highly affordable wellness programs for the whole family!
