Somehow, some celebrities appear to age backward. The smile lines on your face are evidence that you've lived a happy life, so there's nothing wrong with appearing or feeling a little older. Try these doctor-recommended methods for staying young, both mentally and physically, if you want to lengthen your life and remain youthful at heart for years to come. Although ageing is supposedly unavoidable, why not delay it as long as you can?
Take a break for yourself
Recent research has shown that stress alters the body physically, which can speed up ageing. The chemicals cortisol and adrenaline surges raise blood pressure and quicken heartbeat. Chronic levels of adrenaline and cortisol can have a detrimental effect on our physical and mental health nowadays, when stress seem to be persistent (a constant stream of job demands, traffic jams, and financial troubles).
Take in more fat
The wholesome variety, that is. Salmon, walnuts, and seeds are good sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which also support bone health and slow down the onset of ageing by lowering inflammation in the body.
Make a move
Regular exercise may improve your mood, tone your muscles, strengthen your bones, and help you lose weight (if that's what you're aiming for). It can even improve your ability to think effectively. Set aside three 20-minute fitness sessions per week. You can also dance, swim, ride, run, or do whatever it is that you find most enjoyable.
Sip on green tea
Green tea has been linked to a lower incidence of breast cancer and a reduction in remissions; it is also now being studied for its potential to reduce the risk of lung, bladder, and colorectal cancer recurrence.
In terms of preventing the signalling network associated to the development of cancer, green tea is an incredible substance.
Put sleep first
Consistently obtaining bad sleep has a negative influence on your health in addition to making you feel weary. Lack of sleep increases your risk of diabetes and cardiovascular illness, but more critically, it shortens your life expectancy, according to research.
