“Defying aging is not just about looking younger, it’s about feeling younger. Focus on nourishing your skin from the inside out with a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and managing stress. Exfoliate regularly, protect your skin from the sun, and get enough sleep. And most importantly, cultivate a positive mindset and embrace life’s journey with gratitude, curiosity, and joy.”
The aging process is inevitable, but we can slow down its effects and make it a beautiful journey toward continued vitality and vibrancy. Some factors that influence aging include genetics, lifestyle choices, environmental toxins, and chronic medical conditions. Here we show you sneaky ways that are meant to be added to your current list of healthy aging habits - which should include staying socially connected, mentally stimulated, and happily engaged in your favourite activities. Let us know which of the nine here you have already incorporated into your life:
Sleeping on your back can help reduce wrinkles and fine lines. When you sleep on your side or stomach, your face is pressed against the pillow, causing creases and wrinkles which sometimes become permanently etched.
Dry air like the air-conditioning in your bedroom or office can dry out your skin, making it look dull and wrinkled. Using a humidifier can help maintain the moisture levels in the air and in your skin, keeping it looking plump and youthful.
Omega-3 fatty acids and dietary fat (Vitamins A, D, E) are essential for healthy skin. They help reduce inflammation, promote collagen production, and keep your skin looking smooth and radiant. Foods rich in healthy fats include oily fish, walnuts, and chia seeds.
High intensity training is good for you but don’t underestimate the beauty-boosting power of gentle, low-impact exercise forms like yoga and Pilates. They too can combat inflammation by reducing cortisol and bringing balance and flexibility back into your body.
Cotton pillowcases can cause friction, and lead to frizzy hair and unwanted wrinkles. Switching to a silk or satin pillowcase can help reduce friction and prevent wrinkles on your face and neck.
Melatonin, the sleep hormone, is a powerful antioxidant and has been shown to reverse the formation of Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs), which is where collagen is stiffened and altered through a diet high in sugar and processed foods. Adequate sleep also reduces stress, improves mental clarity and heals your skin.
Taking regular cold showers can help improve circulation, boost the immune system, and increase the release of certain neurotransmitters that can help reverse aging. Start with warm showers and gradually decrease the temperature to acclimate yourself.
Green tea is rich in polyphenols like EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate) which can help reduce inflammation, promote collagen production, and protect against environmental stressors. It is also anti-inflammatory, neuro-protective, and anti-aging. Drinking green tea regularly can help keep your skin looking healthy, smooth and youthful.
Mindful meditation can help reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep, focus and concentration, and boost your immune system. Take a few minutes each day to focus on your breath, stay present in the moment and be guided by the quiet and calm.
Remember, defying aging is all about making small, consistent changes to your daily disciplines and lifestyle. By incorporating these sneaky tips into your everyday routine, you can help keep your skin looking as young as you feel, for as long as you wish!
