The 4 Biggest Things You Can Do Now To Prevent Disease And Health Problems As You Age

It’s not normal to get cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, osteoporosis, strokes, glaucoma, hip fractures, lose your teeth, and require more and more doctor visits as you age!

While these are commonly portrayed as things that just happen as you get older, they don’t have to be! In fact these are relatively new problems that our primal ancestors rarely dealt with in old age.

And side note they did live well past 30! That commonly stated number is an average lifespan which is skewed by the high incidences of infant and childhood mortality. Back in the day if you made it past childhood you’d likely live into your 80s.

And not just live into your 80s, but thrive with lots of energy; a mobile and athletic body; sharp mind, vision, and hearing; great overall health; and no diseases or illnesses!

So how can you get that too?

1) Nourish Yourself Properly-

Nutrient deficiencies are one of the main causes of health problems. Nutrients are needed for every single tissue and system in your body to function properly. Without adequate nutrient intake your body catabolizes (breaks down) less important tissues in order to keep your vitals supplied with nutrients.

For example, if you’re calcium deficient your body will take calcium out of your bones so that your heart and nerves can still function. This often leads to osteoporosis and weak bones that break easily.

Learning how to get all your nutrients in the right proportions and balance your meals is therefore key for preventing your body from degenerating!

2) Detox-

We are exposed to so many toxins now a days and many people’s detoxification systems (like lymph, liver, and colon) aren’t functioning optimally which means more toxins are being stored in your body!

The accumulation of these toxins leads to many health problems like cancer; reproductive and hormonal issues; weight gain; skin issues; bacterial, yeast, and fungal overgrowth; chronic fatigue; allergies; headaches; chronic digestive issues; autoimmune issues; and much more!

Therefore reducing your toxin exposure, optimizing the function of your bodies detoxification systems, and doing biyearly cleanses drastically improves your health!

3) Heal Your Gut-

Health really begins in your gut! It’s essential that you have a strong digestion to properly breakdown your food and be able to absorb the nutrients you eat!

A healthy sealed gut lining and regular bowel movements are also essential to keep pathogens and toxins out of your body.

And a healthy microbiome is essential for hormone production, preventing pathogen (bacteria, yeast, and fungal) overgrowth, a good mood, immune function, brain health, maintaining a healthy weight, and so much more!

4) Listen To Your Body-

Our bodies are constantly talking to us. They communicate with us through symptoms (like bloating, constipation, fatigue, etc.) to let us know the changes we need to make to restore balance to our health.

If we ignore what our bodies tell us, symptoms snowball and can eventually lead to disease if not corrected. Therefore learning to tune into your body and how to correct imbalances is another key part of disease prevention.
