Strategies for Living a Longer and Healthier Life

On a recent podcast episode of The Miracle Moment, Dr. Orbeck discussed the topic of longevity and strategies behind living a longer, healthier life. He posed the question: What can you do in your life, right now, to know that you’re proactive in trying to practice longevity?

According to Dr. Orbeck, mindset in medicine is very important. What we do and how we think on a daily basis impacts our wellbeing over time. Below is a recap of strategies from the podcast: 

Sleep

Quality sleep requires an optimal environment: dark, cool room, that is quiet and EMF-free (without electronics). The body repairs itself more efficiently with quality sleep. Eight hours of sleep are recommended per night.

Hydration

Hydration/fluid helps to get rid of toxins and allows the liver and kidneys to properly eliminate waste in the body. Dr. Orbeck recommends drinking approximately half of your body weight in ounces of water (for example: 190 lb. individuals would aim to drink approximately 95 oz. of water per day).  

Nutrition

Pay attention to what you are ingesting/putting in your body. Are you reading nutrition labels and understanding the contents of your food? A well-balanced, clean diet will provide the most beneficial nutrition for the body. 

Activity

Include a variety of exercises, such as 30 minutes of cardio plus resistive training (weights), to your weekly routine. Stretching is also important before and after a workout. For weights, Dr. Orbeck recommends high reps with lower weights to gradually build muscle, and then increase weight steadily as needed.

The goal of longevity is to maintain muscle mass, strength, bone mass, and flexibility. In addition to longevity within the body, it’s also important to maintain healthy relationships to add quality and years to your life.
