What is important when it comes to your health in your 40s? The 40s is an important decade of life because it's one of subtle decline; the beginning of widespread changes to come. While you might feel like you're in good health, there are still some key things to pay attention to. The sooner you make these things a priority, the better.

In your 40s, look for a doctor that has the energy, time, and dedication to create an aging plan with you. It might cost you to find a physician that can work with you on this, but it's worth it—especially if you can add on bloodwork that will give you even greater insights into your health status.

A health checkup at this age should include your weight, height, blood pressure, and circumference of your abdomen. It's also critical to look at your body mass composition. If you're avoiding having these numbers checked with your doctor, you're choosing to stay in the dark, but it won't change the reality you're facing.

There are also many devices that can be used as tools to help you with anti-aging. Some of these can even help you with subcutaneous fat, which is extremely difficult to get rid of. When you're working towards greater health, don't get discouraged that you're not where you want to be. Keep moving forward, because the effort you put in now counts.

For men, elevated resting heart rates is something to pay attention to. It should never be over 80. Your exercise heart rate should also be within a healthy range. Investing in your health now matters if you want to feel well in your 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond.
