00:00Still stressing about every calorie?

00:03After 60, what really shapes your health is how well you sleep and how calm you feel.

00:09For decades, we've been taught to obsess over every bite,

00:12counting calories, skipping dessert, and feeling guilty after meals.

00:17But the latest research reveals a powerful truth.

00:21After 60, it's not just what you eat, but how you rest and how you manage your stress

00:26that makes all the difference in your well-being.

00:28The old belief was simple.

00:31Eat less, weigh less, live longer.

00:34But as we age, our bodies change in ways counting calories just can't address.

00:40Science now shows that sleep and stress are the real drivers of our metabolism, mood,

00:46and even the way our body stores weight.

00:49Imagine this.

00:51You could eat the same healthy meals, but if you're not sleeping well,

00:54or you're carrying too much stress, your body could still hold on to stubborn fat and sap your energy.

01:01The secret to thriving after 60 lies in caring for your mind and body in new, kinder ways.

01:07Let's talk about sleep.

01:09Deep, restful sleep isn't just about feeling refreshed.

01:12It's nature's way of repairing every cell in your body.

01:15When you sleep well, your hormones stay balanced, your cravings fade, and your metabolism works as it should.

01:23But when sleep is broken or too short, your body starts to resist weight loss, no matter how few calories you eat.

01:30You might notice more cravings for sweets, or that your belly seems a little rounder.

01:36That's your body's signal that rest, not restriction, is what it needs.

01:40Creating a peaceful bedtime routine can transform your nights.

01:44Try dimming the lights an hour before bed, sipping a warm cup of herbal tea, and putting your phone aside.

01:49These simple rituals signal your body that it's time to wind down.

01:53And remember, it's okay if your sleep comes in waves.

01:56A nap during the day is just as healing as sleeping through the night.

02:01Aim for 7 to 8 hours in total.

02:04Trusting that rest, in any form, is nourishing.

02:07Now, let's look at stress.

02:09It's more than just a feeling.

02:11It's a physical reaction in your body.

02:13When you're tense or anxious, your body releases cortisol,

02:17a hormone that, over time, can age your skin, weaken your immune system,

02:21and encourage your body to store fat, especially around the belly.

02:26Chronic stress can even make you more sensitive to pain and drain your joy from daily life.

02:32But you have gentle, powerful tools to restore calm.

02:36Spending time in nature, even just a walk through your garden or a nearby park,

02:40can lower your cortisol levels.

02:43Try pausing for two minutes of slow, deep breathing when you feel overwhelmed.

02:48The difference can be remarkable.

02:50And don't bottle up your feelings.

02:51Call a friend, write in a journal, or simply share a laugh.

02:56These moments of connection help your body relax, digest, and even glow.

03:01After 60, it's time for a new kind of health wisdom.

03:05Less calorie counting.

03:06More soul care.

03:08The kindness you give your mind and body through rest and peace

03:11keeps you healthier, happier, and more radiant than any diet plan ever could.

03:16Imagine waking up after a peaceful night's sleep, sunlight warming your face,

03:23feeling truly at home in your own body.

03:25That's the gift you give yourself when you choose rest over restriction, calm over control.

03:31So tonight, give yourself permission to rest.

03:34Let go of the calorie charts and the old worries.

03:37Trust that your body knows what it needs.

03:39Your body and your heart will thank you.

03:43Because better sleep, less stress, and more life is the true path to thriving after 60.
