Fit After 40

Book excerpt: The ultimate guide to living your best life through your 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond. An old adage goes that age is all in one’s mind. However, the 40s bring on a series of changes – mentally, physically and emotionally – that we scarcely anticipate and usually deny to ourselves. Instead of viewing it as a turning point to a new, enhanced experience of life, many of us are left bewildered and in ‘crisis’. Applying her wealth of experience as an obstetrician and gynaecologist, and a fitness and lifestyle consultant, Dr Sheela Nambiar brings to you this holistic health guide that ensures that the decades ahead of your 40s are the best yet. This book contains: • Tests to assess your current fitness levels and help determine the best course of action for you; • Tools for understanding the inevitable hormonal changes and how to deal with them; • Insights into why we gain weight after 40 and how to control it; • Daily exercises that will help restore vitality and maintain your posture, balance and flexibility; • Ways to improve your sleep patterns and nutritional intake; • Tips to keep yourself and your relationships positive, productive and motivated. Fit after 40 will infuse you with a new sense of purpose and propel you towards living the good life you’ve worked hard to achieve!
