00:00there's something that far too many people between the ages of 65 and 80 are still doing

00:09every single day without realizing how much damage it's causing it's not just slowing down

00:14your health but it could be silently cutting years off your life the truth is once you reach

00:20this stage your body goes through changes that make certain habits far more dangerous than they

00:25used to be what worked in your 40s and 50s could now be putting you at risk of serious health issues

00:31and most people don't even realize it until it's too late that's why in this video we're going to

00:36cover five things you need to stop doing immediately if you're between 65 and 80 this is your last chance

00:42to make these changes before they start taking a serious toll on your health energy and longevity

00:48stick with me until the end because the last one is something almost no one talks about but it's one

00:53of the biggest mistakes you could be making right now before we begin if you haven't subscribed yet

00:58i recommend you subscribe and turn on the bell so you don't miss any videos if you enjoy this video

01:04please type one in the comments if you don't like it type zero in the comments to let me know

01:08so i can make better videos for you now let's get started mistake one sitting for long periods without

01:14movement one of the worst things you can do for your body after 60 is sitting too much you might think

01:20i go for a walk every day so i'm staying active but here's the problem even if you exercise sitting

01:26for hours at a time can still increase your risk of heart disease muscle loss and poor circulation

01:31studies show that prolonged sitting slows metabolism weakens the legs and core and puts excess strain on

01:38your joints all of which can lead to reduced mobility chronic pain and a higher risk of falls

01:44think about this if you've ever stood up after sitting for a while and felt stiffness in your

01:49knees or tightness in your back that's your body telling you it's not getting enough movement

01:54sitting for too long reduces blood flow making muscles and joints stiff while also increasing the

02:00risk of blood clots weight gain and even cognitive decline this is exactly what happened to someone

02:06like george 72 he always believed that taking his daily walk was enough but over time he noticed his

02:12legs were feeling weaker and his back pain was getting worse his doctor explained that it wasn't

02:17just about walking it was about breaking up long periods of sitting he started setting a timer to stand

02:23up and move every 30 to 45 minutes doing simple stretches or light activity within weeks he noticed less

02:30stiffness better circulation and even improved energy levels here's a simple test if you sit for more

02:36than an hour at a time try standing up right now and rolling your shoulders stretching your legs or

02:42walking around for just a few minutes if you feel an instant difference that's proof that your body

02:47needs more frequent movement throughout the day the key isn't just exercising it's staying

02:52consistently active if you've been sitting too much now is the time to change it small movements

02:58throughout the day standing up stretching walking around even shifting positions can have a huge impact

03:05on how your body feels and functions mistake two ignoring protein intake and losing muscle mass

03:10one of the biggest mistakes people make after 60 is not getting enough protein and it's costing them

03:15muscle strength and energy you might think i eat enough food so i must be fine but here's the reality

03:22as you age your body processes protein less efficiently meaning you need even more of it to maintain muscle

03:29mass if you're not paying attention to your protein intake you're likely losing muscle without even

03:34realizing it muscle loss also known as sarcopenia is one of the biggest threats to independence after 60

03:41it happens gradually and most people don't notice it until simple things like standing up from a chair

03:47carrying groceries or climbing stairs start feeling harder than they used to the real danger

03:53once muscle is lost it's much harder to rebuild and when muscles weaken so does your balance

03:59making falls and injuries far more likely this is exactly what happened to someone like richard 68

04:04he thought he was eating well but over time he noticed that his legs felt weaker his arms looked thinner

04:10and his energy levels weren't the same his doctor told him that he wasn't getting enough protein

04:15to support his muscles so he started increasing his intake adding more lean meats eggs beans nuts and protein

04:23rich dairy into his diet within weeks he felt stronger more energetic and even more stable on his feet

04:28if you want to see where your muscle strength is right now try to stand up from a chair without using your hands

04:34if that feels difficult or if you feel unsteady it may be a sign that your muscles are weakening

04:40and your body needs more protein and strength training to prevent further loss

04:44so if you're still eating the same way you did in your 40s or 50s

04:48it's time to rethink your diet more protein isn't just a good idea

04:52it's essential for keeping you strong mobile and independent

04:56if you're still watching this video and finding these insights valuable

05:00please comment number two below to let me know you're here

05:03now let's continue

05:04mistake three

05:06neglecting sleep and disrupting your body's repair process

05:09many people assume that needing less sleep is just part of aging

05:12but that's actually one of the biggest myths out there

05:15the truth is your body still needs quality sleep

05:18not just to feel rested

05:20but to support memory muscle recovery

05:23heart health and even your immune system

05:25the problem as people get older they often develop poor sleep habits that lead to chronic fatigue

05:31increased inflammation and even a higher risk of cognitive decline

05:35if you've ever found yourself waking up in the middle of the night

05:38struggling to fall back asleep or feeling groggy even after a full night in bed

05:43your body may not be getting the deep restorative sleep it needs

05:47and the consequences are serious

05:49studies show that sleep deprivation weakens the immune system

05:52increases the risk of heart disease and can accelerate memory problems over time

05:57take someone like frank 71

05:59he always thought that sleeping fewer hours

06:02was just something that happened with age

06:04but over time he started noticing more daytime fatigue

06:07brain fog and even changes in his blood pressure

06:10his doctor explained that his body still needed deep sleep to function properly

06:15and the key was improving his nighttime habits

06:18so he made a few simple changes

06:20reducing late night screen time

06:22avoiding caffeine in the evening

06:24and creating a bedtime routine

06:25within a few weeks he noticed dramatic improvements in his energy

06:29focus and overall well-being

06:31if you're not sure whether your sleep is actually refreshing

06:34here's a simple test

06:36do you wake up feeling rested and alert

06:38or do you feel sluggish and need extra time to get moving

06:41if you're feeling groggy most mornings

06:43your sleep may not be working for you

06:46and now is the time to fix it

06:47quality sleep is not optional

06:49it's one of the most important factors for long-term health

06:53cognitive function and physical recovery

06:55mistake four

06:57avoiding strength and balance training

06:59one of the biggest mistakes people make

07:01after 60 is assuming that walking is enough exercise

07:05while walking is great for your heart and mobility

07:07it doesn't do enough to maintain strength, balance, or prevent falls

07:12the reality is as you age

07:14your muscles naturally weaken

07:15your balance declines

07:17and your risk of falling increases

07:19unless you actively work to stop it

07:21here's what most people don't realize

07:23falls are the leading cause of injury in older adults

07:26and most falls happen not because of weak legs

07:29but because of poor balance and muscle loss

07:31if you aren't challenging your body with strength and stability exercises

07:35you're unknowingly making yourself more vulnerable to stumbles

07:39trips and serious injuries

07:40this is exactly what happened to someone like edward

07:4374

07:44he walked daily thinking that was enough

07:47but one day he misjudged a step

07:49lost his balance

07:50and took a bad fall

07:52he didn't break anything

07:53but the experience shook him up

07:55his doctor explained that his balance was deteriorating

07:58because he wasn't training his stabilizing muscles

08:01so he started adding gentle strength exercises

08:03core training and balance drills into his routine

08:06within a few weeks he noticed he felt more stable

08:09more confident

08:10and far less afraid of falling

08:12strength training doesn't mean lifting heavy weights at the gym

08:15it can be as simple as using resistance bands

08:18doing bodyweight squats

08:19practicing standing on one foot

08:22or even using a chair for support

08:24while doing leg exercises

08:25the key is to challenge your muscles and balance

08:28so that your body stays strong

08:30coordinated and resilient

08:32if you want to test your balance right now

08:34try this

08:34stand near a counter

08:36lift

08:36one foot slightly off the ground

08:38and see if you can hold your balance

08:40for at least 10 seconds

08:41if you struggle

08:42that's a clear sign

08:44your balance needs work

08:45and the sooner you start

08:47the better

08:47your muscles and balance

08:49are your foundation

08:50and ignoring them

08:51after 60

08:52is one of the fastest ways

08:53to lose mobility

08:54if you've been relying

08:56only on walking

08:57it's time to prioritize

08:58strength and stability

08:59training to keep yourself active

09:01independent

09:02and injury free

09:03if you're still watching this video

09:05and finding these insights valuable

09:07please comment number four below

09:09to let me know you're here

09:10now let's continue

09:11mistake five

09:13ignoring hydration

09:14and dehydrating your body

09:15one of the most overlooked health risks

09:17after 60

09:18is not drinking enough water

09:19you might think

09:21i'm not thirsty that often

09:22so i must be fine

09:23but here's the problem

09:25your body's thirst signals

09:26become weaker as you age

09:28meaning you may already be dehydrated

09:30before you even feel thirsty

09:32and chronic dehydration

09:33doesn't just make you feel tired

09:35it can lead to joint pain

09:37constipation

09:38kidney problems

09:39confusion

09:40and even an increased risk of falls

09:42dehydration is sneaky

09:44most people assume

09:45that as long as they drink something

09:47throughout the day

09:48they're getting enough fluids

09:49but the truth is

09:51by the time you feel thirsty

09:52you're already behind on hydration

09:54and the effects are serious

09:56when your body doesn't get enough water

09:58your muscles become weaker

10:00your joints lose lubrication

10:02and your brain function slows down

10:04which can lead to dizziness

10:06poor concentration

10:07and an increased risk of injury

10:09this is exactly what happened

10:11to someone like walter

10:1276

10:13he thought he was drinking enough

10:15because he had coffee in the morning

10:17and a little water with meals

10:18but over time he noticed

10:20more frequent headaches

10:21muscle cramps

10:22and episodes of dizziness

10:23when standing up

10:24his doctor explained

10:26that coffee and tea act

10:27as diuretics

10:28meaning they pull water

10:30from the body

10:30rather than replenishing it

10:31so walter made a simple change

10:33he started drinking

10:35a full glass of water

10:36first thing in the morning

10:37and sipping throughout the day

10:39within a few weeks

10:40he felt more alert

10:41had better digestion

10:42and even noticed

10:44his joints weren't as stiff

10:45if you want to check

10:47whether you're drinking enough

10:48try this pinch the skin

10:50on the back of your hand

10:51and hold it for a second

10:52if it snaps back immediately

10:54you're likely hydrated

10:55if it takes a moment to settle

10:57your body may need more water

10:58the good news

11:00this is one of the easiest things to fix

11:02keeping a glass of water nearby

11:04and taking small sips

11:05throughout the day

11:06can dramatically improve energy

11:08digestion

11:09joint health

11:10and even brain function

11:11don't wait until you're thirsty

11:13because by then

11:14your body's already struggling

11:16to keep up

11:17final thoughts
