@leanneoceancumber: No one tells you these habits can accelerate ageing after 40… but they matter more than most people realise. And it’s not just about sugar or alcohol. Ageing is influenced by how well your body manages stress, recovers, and maintains muscle, hormones, and metabolic health. Some of the most common contributors: • Chronic stress → increases cortisol, which can affect skin, sleep, and fat distribution • Poor sleep → linked to impaired recovery, cognitive decline, and hormonal disruption • Low protein intake → accelerates muscle loss (sarcopenia), which naturally increases with age • Blood sugar instability → contributes to energy crashes, inflammation, and metabolic strain • Sedentary lifestyle → reduces muscle mass, bone density, and insulin sensitivity From around your 40s, these factors have a greater impact due to hormonal changes. What helps: • Adequate protein intake (e.g. eggs, fish, dairy, legumes, tofu) to support muscle maintenance • Regular meals to stabilise blood glucose • Strength-based movement to preserve muscle and bone health • Consistent, good-quality sleep • Daily stress regulation (breathing, movement, time outside) This isn’t about “looking younger.” But it is about supporting physiological function as your body changes. Small, consistent habits have the biggest long-term impact. #hormonehealth #inflammationrelief #perimenopausehealth #inflammationrelief #midlifeglow
