Health for the Ages

No matter your stage in life, there are many things you can do to care for your body as you age. Check out the tips below then commit to putting them into action!

20s 30s 40s 50s 60s 70s ALL AGES

• Be aware of what you’re putting in your body. Read labels, they matter.

• Diet and low-cal drinks still contain calories which add up quickly.

• Sunscreen. Wear it. Protect yourself against skin cancer and age gracefully.

• Take care of your bones with a calcium supplement and exercise.

• Boost your brain with high-intensity interval training (HIT), a proper diet, brain games, and adequate sleep.

• Eliminate sugars, especially from desserts, coffee, and juices.

• Make sure you include a large portion of leafy green vegetables with all meals–smoothies are a great way to include them for breakfast.

• Master your metabolism with exercise. Get active with an activity you enjoy; think running, Pilates, hiking, or swimming.

• Even if you’ve created bad habits in your 30s and 40s, you have time to make changes.

• Discover a new activity, run a race, pick up a new hobby.

• Know your body and stay on top of health screenings.

• Stay active, both mentally and physically, doing some sort of exercise daily, whether it's a short walk or a morning swim.

• Enjoy outdoor activities like the farmer’s market, walks in local parks and art exhibits.

• Create a safe environment at home. Eliminate areas of concern that could lead to falls and possible bone fractures.

• Make sure you have an established relationship with a primary care provider so they can care for you through all of life’s stages.

• Be aware of and schedule healthcare screenings by age and state of life.

7200 Cameron Park Drive, Fort Smith, Arkansas centerforhearing.net

Are you experiencing balance issues, dizziness, vertigo, or recently sustained a concussion? In addition to diagnostic hearing tests, we also offer neurodiagnostic testing! The inner ear is home to the hearing and balance centers. The receptors within the inner ear allow signals to be received and processed by a variety of locations within the central nervous system and the brain. Unlike imaging studies which only show the anatomy or structures, our testing allows physicians to better understand how the system is working and where a problem is located. Depending on your condition, your physician may recommend evaluation of the hearing center, balance centers, or both, as they are all part of the inner ear.
