'Going to sleep before midnight': People reveal the underrated hacks for staying healthy over 40

While we all mature at different rates, one realization that hits every aging individual at one point or another is that if they want to stay reasonably healthy, they need to put some effort into the process. There comes a point in the lives of most of us when we realize that certain diets, bad habits, or activity regimens that we have kept around for years are not going to do us any favors if we want to be our most functional selves when we're 80.

Still, it isn't easy to make the switch to all the things that are good for us. This is particularly true when in this day and age of niche fitness and diet influencers, there can be conflicting advice. While there is no magic fix to elevate anybody's level of health, there can sometimes be some good tips and tricks to help us along that path.
