6 WAYS TO FEEL AND LOOK YOUNGER THAN OUR NORMAL AGE
In the post, I have highlighted
six different natural ways we can look and feel twenty years younger than our
real age. If you keep to the six methods below, it will help you shed stress,
decrease or erase wrinkles, boost mental sharpness, and add up more energy.
Eating the right food, exercising at the proper time, adequate skin care and
adequate sleeping hours will certainly slow down the effects of aging and make
you feel and look younger than your normal age.
1. SLEEP MORE TO SLIM DOWN
We must make sure we sleep at
least between seven to nine hours a day, for this is necessary for optimal
health. Having enough rest is like going on a diet, because as we sleep our
body produces an appetite suppressing chemical called Lepin, making it easier
to avoid over-eating during the day. If we don’t have enough sleep, we eat more
than what is necessary during the day and this can cause heart attack and
diabetes because it makes us fat.
2. EXERCISE
We need at least 2000 of cardio
and weight lifting exercises to strengthen us. Walking sideways on a slanted
thread-mill, doing lots of other exercises will revive our metabolism for the
rest of the day.
3. RIGHT NUTRITION
Eating the right food at the
proper time can reduce the risk of heart attack, cancer, diabetes, heart
disease and other forms of chronic diseases. Almonds, sweet potatoes, olive
oil, lots of fruits and vegetables are what we need daily. Also note that
studies have shown that eating berries lowers the threatening of developing
high blood pressure, Parkinson’s disease and Dementia. Nuts and olive oil both
keep the body in check against heart diseases.
4. USE SUN SCREEN DAILY
The rays from the sun can form
skin cancer and premature wrinkles. Use sunscreen while in the sun, apply a
dime-sized dab of skin polish to the face and cleanse with upward circular
motion. Also, you can use an anti-oxidant-rich nourisher.
5. ALWAYS DIM THE LIGHT AT NIGHT
Make sure to switch off all
lights in the room except for a dim safety light while going to sleep at night.
Using the computer system, watching TV late into the night ,and leaving the
full light on tricks the brain into staying awake instead of slowing down for
shut-eye at bed time. Remember that having adequate sleep extends the human
life.
6. LIMIT YOUR FOOD INTAKE TO 1,700 CALORIES PER DAY
About 60 percent diseases case,
one third of cancer cases, and 90 percent of type 2 diabetes cases are linked
to excess weight, which is as a result of excess food intake and calories.
Eating less is a habit that we all should cultivate so that we do not dig our
own graves with forks and knives.
