This is the prime of your life. There’s so much to do, see, and learn, and you can finally thrive as you have struck the perfect balance of experience, maturity, and having fun. At 45, 55 and 65+, if you engage in healthy behaviors to ensure that your mind and body feel their best, absolutely nothing can hold you back. Here are a few tips to support your entire body from head-to-toe and help make this the best year yet!

Unplug And Unwind For A Healthy Mind

It’s important to carve out time for your own thoughts and peace of mind, and shut out the constant chatter of the media and social networks. Try turning off the TV, putting your cell phone away, and dedicate some time to foster a healthy mind.

• Meditate– Meditation does not have to be an elaborate event; Simply find a quiet space, lower the lights, and close your eyes. Quiet your thoughts and listen to your breath until you feel a sense of peace. This can be achieved in just five minutes a day with practice.
• Read a book– Find any topic that sparks your interest, and dedicate a little time each day or each week to reading. This may sound cliché, but reading can calm the mind while also sparking creativity and contemplation.
• Connect with others– Genuine human connection, eye contact, and sincere dialogue is deeply comforting and invigorating. Whether it is with a partner, friend, or family member, quality time with others is good for the brain and psyche. Try planning a weekly one-on-one visit with a trusted friend, and notice how great it feels to connect.

These simple habits can greatly impact your overall sense of calm and your peace of mind. It takes practice and repetition to maintain routines like these, but the benefits are absolutely worth the effort. To get you started, here are a couple of must-haves which may make these habits easier:

• A comfortable chair, rug or mat to sit on while meditating.
• A soft, cozy blanket to wrap in to bring utmost comfort while reading.
• A bookmark and book light to avoid straining your eyes.
• An all-natural supplemental product to aid in the relaxation process, such as a warm cup of chamomile tea or a trusted CBD product.

Treat Your Body To TLC (Often!)

There are numerous ways to give your body the treatment it deserves, encouraging it to perform optimally and to keep you feeling your best.

• Stretch– Whether it’s through a regular yoga practice or simply a daily routine in the morning or after a workout, stretching your muscles encourages healthy blood flow, increases flexibility and range of motion, and aids in muscle recovery. It also encourages bodily relaxation.
• Exercise regularly– Thirty minutes of exercise daily can improve your overall health and vitality, and can be achieved by simply going for a walk or a jog, taking a fitness class, or following along to a fitness video at home. The physical and cardiovascular benefits of exercise are tied to longer, happier lives.
• Eat well and stay hydrated– Making a conscious effort to ditch sugary drinks and fast food can work wonders on your digestive system, and result in an overall healthier you. Nutritious foods like fruit, vegetables, and whole grains help nourish your body to be its best. In addition, studies show that individuals should consume at least 8 glasses of water per day to be properly hydrated.
• Have a consistent sleep routine– A restful night’s sleep is important to recharge your body and is the foundation of a productive day to follow. The body responds positively to a consistent routine, so whenever possible, try and follow a predictable sleep schedule.

Increasing your healthy habits to take care of your body will help you enjoy life to the fullest without feeling held back by your physical self, and the above actions can be easily incorporated into your daily or weekly routine. If you need a little help with motivation, here are a few must-haves to make these habits easier to follow:

• A yoga mat or a soft, carpeted area for stretching and exercising at home.
• A free online workout class or series you can stream from your TV. Many are available on popular streaming apps or YouTube.
• A reusable water bottle to refill and take with you daily.
• An all-natural body balm to aid in muscle recovery after exercise.
• A natural product containing melatonin to encourage a restful night’s sleep.

Taking care of your entire body – head to toe, inside and out – is a recipe for success to be the healthiest you can be at any age!  You may have noticed that a few of the “must-haves” listed above mention a trusted CBD product, and with good reason. CBD is continuing to take the health and wellness market by storm, and high quality CBD products have become a staple in the lives of many as they begin their journey toward increased health and wellness. 

The Benefits Of Quality CBD

If you are new the world of CBD, here’s a quick rundown of what you need to know about this wonderful ingredient:

• CBD, short for cannabidiol, is one of the many helpful compounds extracted from the hemp plant.
• CBD products derived from hemp are all-natural and completely legal in the US since the passing of The Farm Bill in 2018.
• Hemp-derived CBD contains .3% THC or less (which aligns and complies with the law) so customers can receive the many benefits of CBD without the psychoactive side effects THC is known for.
• Not all CBD is created equally, so when you are seeking a CBD product to add to your routine, it’s important to research the company, and make sure they have a transparent process available to you on their website. It is also imperative that the company you choose utilizes a third-party lab for quality assurance, and makes those results available to you.
