30s is the prime of our lives. We are well
on our way along the life paths we have chosen – career, family, a new house
and etc. We are enjoying good health and great happiness. Everything seems
perfect, but wait, the wrinkles are starting to form. So are the gray hairs and
the love handles! Fret not. There are things you can do to slow them down.
Eat healthy – when the money in the wallet grows, the diet goes. 30s
is a time when people indulge in food, drinks and the finer things in life.
Before you know it, your weight starts to pile up and chronic diseases such as
hypertension and high cholesterol start to creep in. Do take heed to eat
healthy. Take more protein, vegetable and fruits for the fuel in your body.
Drink more water to get yourself and your skin well hydrated.
Exercise – 30s is also a time when you focus more on work and
family and started to have less “me” time. There is less time to do any
exercise and hence the tone and lean body that you once have long gone. Take
time to exercise! Bring back the lean and healthier you with aerobic exercise
2-3 times a week.
Managing stress – As you advance in your career, more stress will
start piling up. Symptoms of gastritis such as frequent passing of wind,
stomach upsets; having difficulty sleeping or frequent waking up at nights;
mood swings or eruptions of skin problems may well be some of the manifestation
of high stress levels. Take heed of these symptoms before they culminate to
something more serious! Take breaks and find a hobby to distress yourself.
Pamper yourself occasionally with a nice
massage or a spa treatment that will whisk away the stress that haunts you.
