We recently hosted a wellness webinar where participants learned about taking care of themselves and their health after they turn 40.
Age is just a number. Or is it?
Our health needs more care and attention as we age. The more we do now, the better off we’ll be in another 40 years! Follow the tips below to keep your health a priority no matter how old you are.
1. Annual Exams and Screenings
Know what annual exams are recommended and keep track of when you get them.
It may be helpful to schedule your exams on a significant day every year, like your birthday.
2. Mindset and Priorities
Maintain a positive attitude and spend time intentionally with people you love
Connection and social interaction keeps us young and feeling fufilled.
3. Confront Your Unhealthy Habits
You probably know your unhealthy habits and what you should do instead.
Now is the time to start building healthier habits once and for all.
4. Think Total Wellness
Every part of wellness is important to understand and prioritize.
Think: mental wellness, physical wellness, financial wellness, social wellness, etc.
Juggling life, family, and health changes after 40 can be stressful or overwhelming. These tips are a great place to start. If you are interested in seeing the full wellness class, you can watch here. This class was taught by Certified Health and Life Coach Dr. Abby Horton
