While cutting-edge cosmetic treatments and advanced skin creams can indeed do wonders for our appearance, simple lifestyle tweaks can also help turn back the clock.
EXERCISE:
Not only do you look and feel better, exercise can actually boost muscle power and endurance. It helps with posture and improved bone density; not to mention the endorphins released during exercise help with depression.
FIND POSITIVE WAYS OF DEALING WITH STRESS:
Scientists at University of San Francisco discovered that chronic stress triggers shorter telomeres – the protective caps on the ends of chromosomes that are a measure of health. Chronic and stressful life events are linked with the shortening of telomeres in the cells of the immune system.
GOOD QUALITY SLEEP:
The deepest and most regenerative sleep occurs between 10 pm to 2 am while around 10 pm is the transformational phase of
sleep. This is linked with the body’s internal repair and restoration.
CONTROL YOUR APPETITE:
The concept is simple; avoid eating until you feel full and if practiced regularly, it will become a habit. According to researchers, consuming fewer calories can actually help slow down the aging process and the onset of age-related diseases.
