Adopt these easy lifestyle habits to feel good in your 20s, 30s or 40s.
In Your 20s
Bone mass is at its peak during your 20s, so it’s important to take up weight-bearing exercises like hiking, running and strength training to prevent osteoporosis in your later years.
Put On Sunscreen
Start now if you haven’t already. UV damage is the number one cause of premature skin ageing and the most effective way of preventing it is to apply a board spectrum sunscreen daily, even if you’re indoors. Remember sunscreens photo-degenerate, which means you have to reapply them every two hours. It’s tedious, but once you build up a habit, you’ll thank yourself for it when you’re in your 30s. Besides looking younger than your peers who don’t apply sunscreens, you’ll also be less likely to get skin cancer.
Stop Smoking
We know the cancer risks smokers face, but that’s not all. Smoking can interfere with calcium absorption and have negative effects on your bones. It can also lower the body’s ability to produce oestrogen, which can lead to early menopause and osteoporosis risk. The sooner you quit smoking, the less damage it has on your body. The effects of quitting can be felt in as little as 20 minutes, so stub out that cigarette now.
