Today, Jacqui and Bryan discuss the ins and outs of maintaining a healthy body and start by talking about skin, nails, and hair and what's causing the signs of aging, the immune system, the heart, the brain, and lastly, muscles.First up, let's talk about our skin, nails, and hair. As we age, our skin can become dull and wrinkles can start to appear. But what's causing these signs of aging? According to health influencer Max Lugavere, "genetics play a large role in how our skin ages, but lifestyle factors such as diet, stress, and sun exposure can also have a significant impact."Next, we'll discuss the immune system. A strong immune system is crucial for protecting our bodies from illness and disease. Dave Asprey, health influencer and founder of Bulletproof, says "the key to a strong immune system is to focus on nutrient-dense foods, regular exercise, and adequate sleep."The heart is another important aspect of maintaining a healthy body. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can all help to keep our hearts healthy. As Dave Asprey says, "the heart is the engine of the body, and we need to take care of it to ensure it runs smoothly."We can't forget about the brain, either. Keeping our minds sharp and healthy can be achieved by staying active mentally, eating a healthy diet, and getting enough sleep. According to Max Lugavere, "our brains need the right kind of fuel, and that means avoiding processed foods and consuming nutrient-dense foods like berries, nuts, and leafy greens."Last but not least, we'll talk about muscles. Regular exercise, especially weight-bearing exercises, can help to maintain muscle mass and strength as we age. As Dave Asprey says, "our muscles are the foundation of our movement and mobility, and we need to take care of them to maintain our independence as we age."We hope you've learned something new about maintaining a healthy body. Remember, genetics play a role in how our bodies age, but lifestyle factors such as diet, stress, and sun exposure can also have a significant impact.
