After all, this is the time of life to travel, play with [grandkids](https://www.living50.com/blog/12-activity-ideas-you-can-do-with-your-grandchildren), [volunteer in your community](https://www.living50.com/blog/10-great-volunteer-opportunities-to-try-in-retirement), and enjoy quality time with family and friends.  The human body/mind has some pretty basic requirements to maintain energy, proper elimination, and stress resiliency. These practices are simple and easy and will support you to feel great! ## Age Healthy with These Six Tips! 1. ### **Conscious Eating** ![preparing healthy foods cooking](https://www.living50.com/hs-fs/hubfs/pexels-rfstudio-3621212.jpg?width=232&name=pexels-rfstudio-3621212.jpg)Eating healthy and well is simpler than you think. Choose to eat quality fresh food that is seasonal and local. Before digging into the bounty on your plate, bless your food.[Express gratitude](https://www.living50.com/blog/tips-be-more-grateful-aging) for everything you are about to enjoy. Eat slowly and without distractions so that you can experience the flavors and textures. After your meal, your stomach should feel light and comfortable. If you feel lethargic, irritable, or have stomach upset after your meal, then this is your body’s way of sending you a clear message that the food you ate was not right for you. Notice and be honest about how it made you feel, and consider avoiding this food in the future. When we eat certain foods that our body does not like, they can cause inflammatory responses in our bodies, leading to long-term disease. 2. ### Right Exercise Keep moving. A healthy amount of exercise promotes the body’s natural cleansing processes. Exercise stimulates the production of endorphins (the body’s natural painkillers) and reduces stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol. Use the phrase “motion is lotion” as a reminder to move daily. But is any movement ok? No, not exactly. You should choose exercises appropriate for your body and [fitness](https://www.living50.com/blog/5-rules-of-fitness-for-your-golden-years) level and do not cause you pain. Right exercise should give you an energy boost. Great options are Tai Chi, [walking](https://www.living50.com/blog/6-benefits-of-walking-for-older-adults), dancing, soma yoga, and [swimming](https://www.living50.com/blog/5-benefits-of-swimming-for-older-adults). 3. ### Sleeping Well ![Old man sleeping on the bed-2](https://www.living50.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Old%20man%20sleeping%20on%20the%20bed-2.jpg?width=300&name=Old%20man%20sleeping%20on%20the%20bed-2.jpg)Preparing for sleep is as important as the sleep itself. Build a consistent bedtime routine that nurtures your nervous system and allows you to slow down. Avoid screens and digital devices an hour before bed. Explore a gentle movement and breathing practice to downgrade from your day. One of our favorites is [3-3-3 Alternate Nostril Breathing](https://youtu.be/a2rPs6N31-s) because it balances the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system so well that you may even find yourself drifting off without thinking about it. Go to bed and wake up at a consistent time. Ayurveda recommends sleeping by 10 pm and waking at 6 am to closely follow your body’s natural sleep rhythms.

One of the easiest ways to nourish this process is through mindful breathing. We recommend taking a conscious breathing break several times a day. Find a comfy seat, close your eyes, and start to pay attention to your breath. Begin to balance the length of your inhale with the length of your exhale. Try three counts in and three counts out. As you begin to pay attention, notice your breath lengthening to four counts in and four counts out. Direct the breath into your lower belly instead of your chest. This engages the diaphragm well and gives the upper chest muscles a break. Follow along with [breath awareness practice](https://www.resolvepainguru.com/the-method) on our website. As you sit quietly, sense and feel the calmness that settles into your nervous system. You will love how great you feel afterward. We also recommend trying one of the SomaYoga for Stress Relief classes, the 61 Point Practice, or other nervous nourishing practices on the [Digital on Demand Channel](https://digital.resolvepainguru.com/).

What we take in is as important as what we let out. Elimination daily is key. We recommend [drinking a large glass of warm water](https://www.living50.com/blog/helpful-hydration-tips-and-8-reasons-to-drink-more-water) upon waking to stimulate your bowel movement in the morning. You can also squeeze juice from half a fresh lemon into warm water and drink this to get your bowels primed and active. Dry skin brushing and oiling is an amazing practice to calm the nervous system. The skin is our biggest organ, and this practice eliminates toxins from the system. 6. ### Self-Awareness/Self-Reflection Your body needs you to be tuned in. Your health depends on it. Sense and feel what your body needs on a given day and time. It is constantly telling you. A great way to cultivate this skill of listening, and what is known as **Interoception,** is to practice getting quiet and attuning back in with yourself. Some use [meditation](https://www.living50.com/blog/your-guide-to-getting-started-with-meditation) or a mindfulness-guided meditation to cultivate these skills.  Maintaining good health is about making choices based on what you sense and feel in your body.  To learn more about these and other practices to support healthy aging, sign up to Resolve Pain Guru's [**blog**](https://www.resolvepainguru.com/blog) or subscribe to the [**Resolve Pain Digital On Demand Channel**](https://digital.resolvepainguru.com/)**.** [![SUBSCRIBE TO OUR BLOG](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/7364579/interactive-131235270293.png)](https://www.living50.com/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLJcrKre%2Fe5Uib3NxlkMtwBF45khQ%2ByjMu0VzH2N2SWl15jApDLwPTk%2BJZWBDY%2FF3sBJtGFSyeg4MwkwHIv2jOje7OGv6A6j%2FJrRBxdwvhSDS5AvFsgssNpaLjsphPTBIIXj0AWCja7obDLr4ULN%2Bks77SgHbAhA0pyz3esi7ZFa008ukMs%3D&webInteractiveContentId=131235270293&portalId=7364579) calendar icon Dec 01, 2020 · Reading time 4 [mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https://www.living50.com/blog/top-6-ways-to-stay-healthy-as-you-age&utm_medium=social&utm_source=email%20&body=Check%20out%20https://www.living50.com/blog/top-6-ways-to-stay-healthy-as-you-age&utm_medium=social&utm_source=email](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https://www.living50.com/blog/top-6-ways-to-stay-healthy-as-you-age&utm_medium=social&utm_source=email%20&body=Check%20out%20https://www.living50.com/blog/top-6-ways-to-stay-healthy-as-you-age&utm_medium=social&utm_source=email) --- [![Resolve Pain Guru](https://www.living50.com/hs-fs/hubfs/4640_resolve_pain_3-04_Insignia.png?width=100&height=100&name=4640_resolve_pain_3-04_Insignia.png)](https://www.living50.com/blog/author/resolve-pain-guru) ### [Resolve Pain Guru](https://www.living50.com/blog/author/resolve-pain-guru) Carrie and Nicole are certified IAYT SomaYoga Therapists and Somatics Educators who have specialized in working with clients in pain for well over 10 years.
