Most of us think that getting older is an inexorable process. It’s just something that happens, and we better get used to it.
But most of us are actually wrong. Modern science is showing that there are plenty of things that we can do to stay younger and healthier for longer. It’s just a question of what exactly.
In this post, we’re going to look at all the ways that you can slow down your biological clock and stay younger for longer.
Slow Down Aging With Green Tea
Green tea has been famous for thousands of years for keeping people young. But it’s only recently that science has shown that it’s not just an old wives’ tale. Scientists have found that green tea contains a chemical that blocks and key aging pathway in our body’s cells. Blocking the pathway, slows the rate at which the cells gets old, which is all very exciting.
Conclusive human trials are still a long way off. But green tea has been shown to improve all sorts of biomarkers in the short term. And this suggests that it has positive effects over the long term too.
Reduce Stress To Avoid Hair Loss
There is evidence to suggest that losing hair and greying hair are, to some extent, the result of stress. Don’t lose hair by stressing all day long. Take the time to do things that make you feel more relaxed. Many people find that deep-breathing or meditation in the mornings can help them get off to a good start. Others find that sports, like cycling, help them unwind and feel better about the day ahead. Take some time to find out what activities it is that you like that help you unwind. Even hitting the gym and doing weights can help.
Have More Sex For Mental And Physical Well-Being
Having more sex is always good advice. And for a long time we’ve been hearing about how it’s a good workout and so on. Most people know about the physical benefits. But fewer people know about the other knock-on benefits related to having sex and being in love.
People who are in the throes of passion tend to experience improvements in their health. For starters, they have strong immune systems. This is good if you’re already somebody who is heavily into fitness and taxing their immune system. But people who are in love also feel a sense of well-being, and this reduces blood pressure and improves their heart health.
Obviously, you can’t force falling in love. But if you want to improve your health and stay younger, look out for some dating advice. And try to find the perfect partner.
Eat Superfruits For Heart Health
There was a time that most of us only ate bananas, apples and maybe oranges. But thanks to more variety in supermarkets, and a lot of buzz about superfruits, we’re eating more variety. And that’s good news.
For starters, super fruits like pomegranate are good for our health. There’s evidence that they help our cardiovascular systems stay more youthful. But there’s also evidence that fruits, like goji berries, can actually stave off dementia.
If you haven’t joined the superfruit revolution yet, get on board. These days it’s easy to find packets of dried goji berries and other fresh berries. If you’re low on cash, you can get frozen berries too, which tend to be around 50 percent cheaper.
