How to improve sleep and well-being after 50

Sleep quality after 50 often deteriorates due to changes in biorhythms, stress or accumulated fatigue. A simple set of measures helps to relax the body and improve recovery at night.

1. Light warm-up before bed

Short stretching exercises for the back, shoulders and neck help relieve tension, relax muscles and prepare the body for rest. 5–10 minutes of light gymnastics are enough to feel comfortable and improve blood circulation.

2. Breathing exercises for relaxation

Deep, calm breathing helps reduce stress and anxiety. For example, the “4-7-8” technique: inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7 seconds and exhale for 8 seconds. Such exercises contribute to faster falling asleep and quality sleep.

3. Avoid overexertion in the afternoon

Evening intense workouts or heavy physical work can stimulate the body, instead of preparing it for rest. It is better to end active exercises 2-3 hours before bedtime and replace them with light stretching or a walk.

4. Create a comfortable rest regimen

A stable sleep schedule, a darkened room, a comfortable bed and unplugged gadgets help the body to tune in to rest faster. Even small changes in evening habits can significantly improve the quality of sleep and well-being.

Nutritionist's recommendations: how to maintain health after 50

With age, proper nutrition becomes no less important than physical activity. A simple approach to the daily diet helps maintain energy, normal metabolism and good health.

1. Balanced diet with sufficient protein

Protein is necessary for maintaining muscle mass and tissue repair. Include fish, poultry, eggs, legumes or lean meat in your diet. Even small portions several times a day help maintain strength and endurance.

2. Sufficient water

Water supports the functioning of all body systems, helps digestion and prevents fatigue. For men after 50, 1.5–2 liters of clean water per day is enough, depending on activity and climate.

3. Including vegetables, fruits and whole grains

These products provide the body with vitamins, minerals and fiber, which supports digestion and energy. Try to make your plate colorful - this is a guarantee of a variety of nutrients.

4. Avoid overeating at night

Evening overeating can affect your sleep and well-being. It is better to have light dinners or snacks 2-3 hours before bedtime, so that the body has time to digest food and rest.
