5.Muscle
After you turn 50, you start to lose muscle at a faster rate. Your physical strength can get weaker, too. The best way to stop this slide is to lift weights or do strength training exercises like lunges and squats 2 to 3 times a week. Not only will you build more lean muscle mass, but you’ll also improve your sense of balance, which will come in handy as you get older.
6.Joints
The tissue and cartilage that cushion your joints begin to thin over time, and you’ll feel the effects of this in your 50s. (Men may notice it sooner.) To stave off joint pain and arthritis, start with your posture. When you slouch, you put pressure on your joints. And keep an eye on your weight, since extra pounds can put pressure on your joints. Also, drink lots of water. When you’re thirsty, your body pulls fluid from joint tissue.
