Key

What may be the key to healthy aging?

In Healthy Aging: Basics – Health Aging: Beyond 50 the (United States) Mayo Clinic elaborate on:

“Health and vitality are important at any age. After 50, though, you may think more about how to promote good health as you get older. Whether you’re concerned about weight gain, sex drive or chronic diseases, a big part of healthy aging is maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Eating reasonable amounts of a variety of nutritious foods and getting physical activity every day can go a long way toward staying healthy as you age”.2

Is there an association between postmenopause and aging?

On page four in Maintaining Health and Preventing Disease After the Menopause the IMS explain their Top 10 Prevention Tips for Chronic Disease In Later Life:

“The first 10 years post menopause is an important window for intervention and is where preventative measures can be most effective:

  1. Smoking cessation
  2. Reduction of alcohol consumption
  3. Healthy AgingRegular aerobic exercise
  4. Healthy diet
  5. Control of body weight
  6. Participation in mentally stimulating activities
  7. Regular screening for cancer
  8. Consideration of MHT in women younger than age 60, not only to help manage hot flushes and other symptoms of the menopause transition but also potentially, to help prevent CHD
  9. Consideration of specific prevention therapies for other diseases if you are at higher risk because of family history or other personal risk factor
  10. Be sure to discuss your options and prevention strategies with your healthcare professional”.3
