Health experts have identified the age group of 36–46 years as the most decisive decade for long-term physical and mental well-being. A report published in LiveHindustan highlights that lifestyle choices made during these 10 years significantly impact health after the age of 50.
During this period, the body begins to experience early signs of ageing and slower metabolism.
Harmful habits like alcohol consumption, smoking, unhealthy diet, and sedentary lifestyle accelerate risks of chronic illnesses.
If corrective steps are not taken, individuals are more likely to develop diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, fatty liver, and kidney disorders in later life.
Analysis of 30 years’ data showed that lifestyle patterns between 36–46 decide the health outcomes after 50.
Wrong habits lead to early organ decline, reduced immunity, and higher disease susceptibility.
Correcting lifestyle in this decade can significantly reduce mortality and morbidity.
Researchers suggest that in the 36–46 bracket, healthy eating, regular exercise, stress management, and avoiding addictions are essential for maintaining body and mind balance. Ayurveda further emphasizes Dinacharya (daily routine), yoga, meditation, and rasayanas (rejuvenating herbs) to support longevity.
The 36–46 age window is a turning point. Small lifestyle adjustments and adopting Ayurvedic practices during these years can ensure health, vitality, and disease-free ageing.
