Attention, attention! The silver generation is here and they are more active than ever! If you thought that after 60 all that was left was to knit and watch soap operas, think again. In this world where the number of people over 60 years old already surpasses that of children under 5, longevity is the new rock and roll. How to live fully in this stage? We’ll tell you here!
The magic of healthy aging
The UN, with its clinical eye, has declared the Decade of Healthy Aging. It's like the decade of long hair, but for health. Why all the fuss? Because as the population ages, quality of life becomes a priority. Do you want to live to 100? Great, but let it be with energy and health.
Dr. Julio Nemerovsky, one of those wise white coats, reminds us that staying active and functional is the key. It’s not just about counting candles on the cake, but blowing them out with strength. Include vaccination, exercise, and good nutrition on your to-do list. No, it's not a fad diet, it's the secret to reducing hospitalizations and being the life of the party.
The best exercises for after 60.
The challenge of the new silver generations
Healthy aging is not just a matter of physical health. It is also about keeping the mind sharp and the heart full of social connections. Who said that older adults cannot be the life of social networks or the CEOs of their own startups?
Dr. Inés Morend paints us a future where older people do not retire, they reinvent themselves. Imagine being an economic engine for 2030. "We are not the withdrawn generation," says Morend. Sweet! Rather, it is a generation that dances salsa.
Vaccination: more than just a shot
We come to the part that many do not like: vaccines. But wait! Don't leave just yet. Dr. Nemerovsky reminds us that vaccination is like locking the door to your health. The flu and pneumonia won’t ask for permission to enter.
Did you know that getting vaccinated against the flu can reduce the risk of Alzheimer's? Yes, you read that right. A study found that vaccinated individuals had a 40% lower risk of developing Alzheimer's. So, if you thought vaccines were just for children, think again. They are for those who want to keep remembering birthdays and family anecdotes.
Movement and Nutrition: The Winning Combo
¿The secret to living well after 60? Moving and eating well. Dr. Iván Ibáñez, a longevity expert, reminds us that exercise is like a wild card in the game of life. It improves the heart, muscles, and even the brain. Who doesn't want that?
And nutrition, oh, nutrition! It's not just about not eating pizza every day (even though it sounds tempting). It’s about proteins, antioxidants, and vitamins that are the fuel for a healthy body. So, the next time you serve yourself a salad, think of it as a ticket to a full and active life.
In summary, living beyond 60 is not just about adding years, but about adding quality. So, lace up those sneakers and enjoy this stage with everything it brings. Because, at the end of the day, life is meant to be lived, not counted. And you, are you ready to rock longevity?
