Live Longer, Live Healthier

We all wish to live beyond our 100th ​birthday but we would like to do so in a way where we are not
bound to a hospital bed or relying on our children, grandchildren or caregivers. Longevity and vibrant health in our golden years is not only what we desire but what we deserve.
Aging is inevitable, what we are seeking is “healthy aging.” This term encompasses a life where senior citizens can navigate through life effortlessly, prevent and reduce a majority of diseases and health complications and ultimately, live fuller and happier lives.
Aging well and being physically, mentally and emotionally fit in your golden years depends strongly on the choices you make in your younger years. What you chose to put in your body during your 20s, 30s and 40s will define how your body and mind will react when you are in your 70s and 80s. There are choices you can make now to slow down the aging process and maintain your health, appearance and mobility. It is never too late to make a change.
Move
The benefits of regular exercise go far beyond musculoskeletal improvement. Physical activity is associated with overall improved health no matter what your age is. Regular exercise can increase energy levels, improve muscle tone, posture and enhance cardiovascular health. It has also been proven that regular exercise is even more effective for treating illnesses, such as depression, than any prescription drug. Develop the habit of taking a short walk in nature or begin swimming. Exercises such as Tai Chi and Qigong not only cultivate your well-being but are found to be calming for the mind and spirit as well. A little research and effort will help you find the exercise techniques and styles that are the best fit for your body and lifestyle.
Hydrate
The average adult human body is 50-65% water. Our bodies depend on water to function and survive. Water is often overlooked as an essential part of the healthy aging process and unfortunately, many of us miss out on the importance of proper hydration. Every cell, tissue and organ in your body needs water to function properly. For example, your body uses water to maintain its temperature, remove waste, and lubricate joints. Water also makes a valuable contribution to our health in old age. Drinking adequate daily amounts of water has numerous benefits. Proper functioning of the kidneys, relief from constipation, prevention of urinary tract infection, reducing the risk of heart disease and glowing skin are just a few of the miraculous benefits we receive from this life-changing liquid. Look no further than the water running from your sink for your fountain of youth!
Meditate
Aging well is not only about having healthy organs and strong muscles. It is equally important to preserve our mental health and nourish our spirit. A number of studies suggest that meditation can slow down the biological clock. In fact, scientists believe meditation may reverse the effects of aging in the brain. Regular meditation can not only limit stress levels and ease anxiety but also improve your memory and attention in the long run. If you are interested in getting started and looking for some
guidance, please refer to the meditation exercises provided in Dr. Hoban’s book, H​ealth Wanted; Inquire Within.​There are also plenty of classes, workshops, books and videos available in our day and age providing guidance as you begin your meditation journey.
Socialize
Research has proven that elderly people who are socially isolated and lonely may be at greater risk of early death. Isolation can lead to loneliness which on its turn can cause depression. Contact with friends, relatives and family members can play a significant role in improving the quality of life for aging individuals. Explore opportunities for groups of people with similar interests and activity gatherings, make new friends and go out and about in your city or for a more rewarding experience, volunteer.
Nourish
When it comes to healthy aging, nutrition and proper supplementation play a major role. Choosing a natural supplement will not only provide necessary vitamins, minerals and antioxidants but also keep your skin looking younger and brighter and cells and organs vibrant and healthy. Longevi Linx, Dr Jacob Hoban’s all natural formula for health and longevity is an excellent choice for both men and women seeking assistance along their process of healthy aging. Consisting of natural herbs, antioxidants and glandular extracts, it promotes youth, improves general vitality and increases stamina while enhancing joint and muscle strength. When taken with a proper, balanced and nutritious diet, the results will make a dramatic difference in the quality of your life.
