But all these health issues can be taken care of by making slight changes in your habits and living more healthier and active lifestyle. Here are few quick things one should start doing either if one is 50 or plus.

Major changes that start affecting your health

The natural life cycle does not stop, facts of life are realities that you should understand and accept. After many researches it was very obvious that our health declines due to transitions and changes happening around us in our routine life. Being fifty means that you have spent almost half of your life, during this period many lose their parents, come across accidents, children grow up get married and move away to other cities for better jobs and a bright future and above all you reach a retired age, all these factors unconsciously start declining your health and your active lifestyle. It is very import to accept transitions in life,accept them and find a formula for healthier and active lifestyle.  There are many misconceptions about ageing. Generally people think that with ageing they will face declining health naturally, or will face some kind of disability. Maybe they will suffer from memory loss and will not be able to learn anymore, well guys all these are mental phases or should I put it like this that leaving hope and will power will eventually make all above problems can affect you more easily.  Here is a quick checklist to follow fro a healthier and active lifestyle for over 50

Be grateful for the things that are around you

Remember you are reaching a half life milestone of 50 years, many of your friends did not, so cherish and enjoy every moment of life, and be grateful to things that life has given you

Express your feelings

Don’t hide your feelings, express them more openly, they will be heard and honored.

There are things you can not change accept them

Since you are trying to achieve things all your life, few you have won and many you could not achieve don’t try hard to set your goal for those now.

Find a passion for yourself

Don’t think you have reached 50 and are a retired person who will stay home, find a passion or an activity of interest, an activity you wanted to do but the busy life routine, taking care of job, bills and other stresses kept you away from it.

Start making daily goals rather set long term goals

Try and set goals on a daily basis and don’t set long term goals now, as they will give you mental stress and affect your healthier lifestyle.  Volunteer yourself to public charity work, plan to see a movie in the evening, meet an old friend, or read three pages of the book you hated all your life. Lol .

Make a healthy tweak list of every day routine

Your healthier and active lifestyle list should include, morning walks, healthy eating habits, regular exercise plan, searching for healthier lifestyle tips.

Plan a travel
