8 Easy Tips for Better Aging Start with RESILIENCE
Tip #1: EAT RIGHT
Focus on fresh whole foods, with an emphasis on colorful vegetables and low-sugar fruits, fish, poultry, nuts, non-wheat whole grains, and cold-pressed olive oil.
Tip #2: MOVE
Aim for 150 minutes a week of moderate to vigorous exercise, such as walking, swimming, biking, dancing, tennis, strength training, gardening, or yoga.
Tip #3: CHALLENGE YOUR BRAIN.
Mixing up your daily routine is another great way to increase cognitive resilience. This can include: exploring new neighborhoods or trying out a new coffee shop.
Tip #4 MANAGE STRESS
Identify stressors in your life and reduce or eliminate the ones you can control, and have strategies to manage the impact of the ones you can’t.
Tip #5: GET A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP
Aim for going to bed by 10 pm and getting 7-8 hours of restful sleep nightly. Even one night of insomnia or inadequate sleep can affect your resilience.
Tip #6: FEEL CONNECTED
Having strong social connections - whether a few or many - along with having meaning in our lives, can be one of the most powerful strategies.
Tip #7: MANAGE YOUR HEALTH
Heart disease, diabetes, chronic pain, and other chronic health issues can reduce your resilience. Staying proactive in managing all aspects of your health can help increase your resilience and minimize its impact.
Tip #8: CULTIVATE PURPOSE & JOY
Having a sense of purpose and connection to a greater meaning is a fundamental human need. So is joy. Identify things that bring you joy. Find something that gives you a reason to be excited about the day.

On October 5, I attended an event at SheAngels, an organization that provides grants to grassroots organizations serving women and girls. The Three Tomatotes & Glow Magazine Giving Circle raised $10,000 in donations, half of which was awarded to Hearts of Gold, a charity and second-hand clothing store in manhattan dedicated to breaking the cycle of homelessness for women and children. Pictured here are Hearts of Gold Founders Anne Akers and Cheryl Benton, and Award Recipient Deborah Koenisberger (in the middle).

Comedian Amy Veltman’s one-woman show, “Pelvic Service Announcement,” at the 59 East 59th Street Theater last month featured a post-show talk-back with two pelvic floor physical therapists from Pelvis.NYC. Samantha Vargas, PT, specializes in treating women, while Joshua Weber, PT, focuses on treating men.
Pelvic floor physical therapists commonly address issues such as urinary and f***l incontinence, overactive bladder, erectile dysfunction, urinary hesitancy, pelvic pain, sexual pain, postpartum complications, and pelvic organ prolapse.
After the show, I spoke with Samantha, Joshua, and the founder of Pelvis.NYC, Adam Gvili, PT. All three are deeply committed to helping patients manage and overcome pelvic floor conditions through expert, compassionate care.

There are many possible causes and types of sexual dysfunction. For example, did you know stress can kill your libido😳? It harms your hormones, creeps up on you, and leaves you wondering where the passion went. If you can relate, don’t panic. My book, Integrative S*xual Health, written in collaboration with expert colleagues, offers practical solutions from mindfulness and relaxation to healthy nutrition and exercise that can help bring your libido back to life. 🔥

Other kinds of sexual difficulties also benefit from the above, as well as reducing the burden of endocrine-disrupting chemicals, the use of acupuncture, and other modalities. Many medications can cause sexual problems, and integrative medicine offers solutions.

Integrative S*xual Health is a comprehensive guide packed with practical and science-backed secrets to help you own your sexual wellness. Check out the table of contents here, https://global.oup.com/academic/product/integrative-sexual-health-9780190225889?cc=us&lang=en& . I offer many of these modalities through my practice. Don’t delay educating yourself and getting help for sexual problems. Take the first step toward a healthier sexual life.

I recently attended a book talk by Professor Marie-Pierre St.-Onge of the Columbia University Institute of Human Nutrition https://www.ihn.cuimc.columbia.edu.. She is a leading expert in nutrition and sleep 💤 how each influences the other. Both nutrition and sleep are key to mental, physical and sexual health.

Dr. Saint-Onge presented much compelling scientific data, some of which to me affirmed what traditional medicine, e.g., Indian Ayurvedic medicine, has advised for centuries - do not eat heavy or large meals late at night. This can cause heartburn, stimulate digestion and raise core body temperature when falling and staying asleep require a quiet digestion and a slightly lower core body temperature. Instead, follow the old adage, “breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dine like a pauper.”

Do not go to bed hungry, as this can keep you awake. Eating a light snack such as fruit 🍒and walnuts or even 🍪and 🥛 can assuage hunger, contribute tryptophan, a precursor to the sleep hormone melatonin, and help you have restful sleep. Do not eat, e.g., 🍕,🥩or drink 🍷 ; alcohol will disturb sleep.

Dr. Saint-Onge has an excellent new book out, Eat Better, Sleep Better.
