How to Maintain my Wellness as I Age?
May 08, 2025
Living a long life is one thing. Thriving for decades is another.
It’s the difference between merely living and breathing and being able to do the things you love, from exercising and driving to enjoying intimacy and social events, well into the future. Little makes way for such vitality as powerfully as maintaining your wellness.
Our expert team at Kane Health in Silicon Valley, Redwood City, and the San Francisco Bay area of California provides customized men’s health programs using a safe, whole-body approach to protect and improve your wellness long term.
To keep your wellness going strong as you age, consider the following practices.
Getting enough sleep (7-9 hours for most adults) can improve mood, energy levels, and overall wellness as you age. Alternatively, too little sleep raises your risk for anxiety, memory problems, relationship problems, and falls.
To start sleeping better, keep consistent sleeping and waking times, sleep in a dark, comfortable environment, and avoid digital device use before bed. Meanwhile, limit caffeine to the morning.
Nutrition is important at every life stage, but seniors tend to lack a variety of key nutrients. As you age, make sure you get enough of the nutrients, such as calcium, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids.
Our Holistic Program includes a meal plan from our functional nutritionist based on your specific needs. Your plan will focus on boosting your energy levels, reducing inflammation, strengthening immune function, and helping you gain muscle and lose excess fat.
Staying physically fit as you age can improve your energy levels, physique, and even longevity. One study showed that working out at a medium or high intensity for 75-300 minutes per week can reduce the risk of mortality by 35-42%.
In addition to cardiovascular exercise, such as hiking, biking, and swimming, engage in strength training for 20-30 minutes 2-3 times per week.
An estimated 2% of men have low testosterone levels, a number that increases to 8% by age 50. Without enough of the hormone, you can experience fatigue, low libido, irritability, muscle loss, poor sleep, and concentration challenges.
If you lack testosterone, hormone replacement therapy can help. We offer it in numerous forms, including implantable pellets, intramuscular injections, patches, and creams.
Working with a qualified expert takes the guesswork out of your wellness efforts. Our team is ready and willing to guide and support you along the way. In addition to personalizing your program, we’ll track your progress and help you navigate any challenges that crop up along the way.
