Eating snacks while at the office or at home just after lunch is a common event. It usually doesn’t matter if the snack is healthy or not, or what the effects of these can have on our overall health.

Our eating pattern becomes a habit that most people fall into through no real fault of their own.

These are not really a secret at all are they?

There are no doubt many challenges in the aging process. We don’t need to know the ‘why’s’ of aging nor understand all the processes that are happening to our bodies and our minds. We should however, be aware that changes are happening and more importantly, if there is any way to minimize or alleviate the effects of aging. I do not mean trying to magically reverse the aging process or search for the proverbial ‘fountain of youth’ in a pill. I mean that we should be trying to maximize and make use of the abilities we have at our present age so that we can enjoy what we have, while we have it. There are also things we can proactively do to prolong our health and wellness – here are 10 challenges of aging and how they can be minimized by healthy lifestyle choices.
