When you were in your twenties you could eat just about anything you want.All that changes however, as you start to get older. Once you reach your mid-thirties your bone density has peaked and you’ll start to lose muscle mass if you don’t exercise.

Busy lifestyles and childrearing during that time can also be hard on your heart and your immune system. You need to combat that as much as possible so you can stay healthy into your later years, and so you can make sure that you decrease your risk of osteoporosis, heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease, among other problems.

The “common” diseases of aging don’t have to be so common, if people take the time to take care of themselves as they start to get a little older. Don’t wait until you’re sixty-five – start today to keep yourself healthy tomorrow.
