Age crossed 30? The body is giving these 3 signs, if you don’t pay attention today you will regret it tomorrow!

In the rush of youth, we often ignore our health. By the age of 30 and 40, the body starts giving us some signals – like unnecessary fatigue, weakening bones and hormonal fluctuations. Most people dismiss it as a normal process of ‘aging’, but according to experts, this is the time when you should be most cautious about your health.

If you want to remain fit and healthy even in old age, then you will have to keep an eye on these three things in your body from today itself.

1. Game of hormones: Not only mood but also health spoils

Hormones are our body’s silent managers, controlling everything from metabolism to energy and mood. It is natural for these to fluctuate with increasing age, which gives rise to many problems.

• Who to keep an eye on: Keep checking the levels of hormones like thyroid, testosterone in men and estrogen in women.
• Why is it important: Hormonal imbalance can cause weight gain, hair fall, feeling tired all the time and even depression. You can avoid these problems by getting it checked on time.

2. Vitamin deficiency: The body’s ‘power bank’ is becoming empty.

Due to busy life and poor eating habits, our body starts deficient in essential vitamins, especially Vitamin D and B12.

• Why are these important?
  • vitamin D: This is very important not only for bones, but also for your immunity (power to fight diseases). Due to its deficiency, bones become weak and you fall ill again and again.
  • vitamin b12: It acts as ‘fuel’ for your brain and nervous system. Its deficiency can cause memory loss, tingling in hands and feet and severe fatigue.
• What to do: Get these vitamins tested once a year and take supplements as per doctor’s advice.

3. Bone strength: ‘Osteoporosis’ is a silent killer.

Our bones gradually start becoming weak after the age of 30, but this is detected only when a minor injury results in a fracture. This problem is called osteoporosis.

• How to take care: Include things rich in calcium and vitamin D like milk, curd, cheese and green leafy vegetables in your diet.
• Regular checkup: After the age of 40, especially women, bone density test (BMD test) should be done from time to time so that bone weakness can be detected in the early stages.

Remember, aging is a normal process, but aging with diseases is not. A small investment in your health today can make your tomorrow healthy and happy.
