*Special Tips for Senior Citizens 40/50/60 years :*
*First Tip:* Drink water all the time even if you are not thirsty or need it, most of the health problems and most of them are caused by lack of water in the body. At least 2 liters per day. *Second Tip:* Do as much work as you can, there should be movement of the body.. like walking, swimming, or any kind of sport.
*Third Tip:* Eat less.. stop craving for more food… because it never leads to good. Don’t deprive yourself, but reduce the quantity. Use more protein, carbohydrate rich foods.
*Fourth Tip:* Don’t use vehicle unless it is absolutely necessary. If you are going anywhere to get groceries, meet someone, or do any work, try to walk on your feet. Climb stairs instead of using elevators, escalators.
*Fifth Tip:* Leave anger, stop worrying, try to ignore things. Do not involve yourself in troublesome situations. They all spoil health and take away the glory of the soul. Talk to positive people and listen to them.
*Sixth Tip:* First of all, leave the attachment of money. Connect with people around you, laugh and talk! Money is made for survival, life is not made for money.
*Seventh Note:* Do not feel sorry for yourself, or about something you could not achieve, or about something you cannot support. Ignore it and forget it.
*Eighth Tip:* Wealth, position, prestige, power, beauty, caste and influence; all these things increase ego. Humility brings people closer with love.
*Ninth Tip:* If you have grey hair it does not mean the end of life. It is the beginning of a good life. Be optimistic, live with memory, travel and enjoy it… make memories. *Tenth instruction:* Meet your younger ones with love, sympathy and affection! Do not say anything sarcastic to anyone. Keep a smile on your face. No matter how big a position you may have held in the past, forget it in the present and mingle with everyone!
Call a wrong a wrong but do not take it to heart.
*ЁЯНБ Happy Health Day ЁЯНБ*
*Best wishes for a healthy life to everyone
