It is often said that forty is not confused, that is, when people reach the age of 40, career, family, and relationships have been set, the body began to gradually towards aging decline, and energy is no longer as vigorous as when young, should enter the stage of keeping and saving.

However, with the improvement of the modern medical level, the life expectancy in China is close to 80 years old. This means that 40 years old is just the beginning of the second half of life, therefore, in modern health science, many people will be 40 years old called the "golden age of health".

The rapid development of the modern medical system has provided people with convenient medical conditions and made physical examinations more convenient.

According to the professional physician's advice, after the age of 35, friends should maintain regular annual physical examination activities, if necessary, but also through angiography, MRI, tissue biopsy, and other cutting-edge means to check the risk of vascular sclerosis, lipid plaque, and cancer.

In addition, middle-aged men should also undergo regular male checkups to ensure that their urinary system and reproductive function are healthy.

The female population should also check for gynecological diseases and inflammation promptly, especially for cervical cancer, breast cancer, and other frequently occurring cancers, so as not to regret it until after the disease has occurred.

2. Maintain a scientific diet

As we age, the body's digestive and metabolic capacity decreases year by year. If you still maintain the same eating habits as you did when you were young and strong, you may develop many chronic diseases.

For example, high blood pressure is associated with a heavy salt diet; high blood sugar is often caused by excessive sugar intake, and high blood cholesterol is a concentrated expression of excessive lipid supplementation.

In addition to these three highs, the increasing number of new cases of high uric acid and gout disease in recent years is also related to improper diet. For the sake of your health, please focus on a plant-based diet, with appropriate supplementation of lean meat and egg dairy products, which are good for digestion, absorption, and bowel movement.

3. Insist on early to bed and early rise

The importance of sleep to human health is self-evident, especially for the middle-aged and elderly, the quality of sleep will directly affect the repair of internal organs and blood vessels, and also reduce the risk of hypertension, vascular disease, and metabolic syndrome.

According to the recommendations of our sleep research association, middle-aged and elderly people should maintain a daily sleep duration of 7-9 hours, and the night sleep duration should not be less than 7 hours. You can follow this recommendation to arrange your own sleep time.

4. Maintain an optimistic state of mind

Although the interconnection between the body and mind has not been fully explored, certainly, the benefits of an optimistic attitude towards life on physical health should not be underestimated.

According to research, researchers have found that people who are optimistic and cheerful have higher activity of their autoimmune mechanism and have stronger resistance to viral and bacterial attacks.

Moreover, keeping a peaceful state of mind also helps to improve the efficacy of drugs during medication, so we were able to identify many cases where active treatment led to faster healing.
