Wrinkles, muscle loss and disease may seem inevitable but with just a few lifestyle modifications you could turn back the clock and keep yourself healthy longer. Sleep, managing sex hormone levels optimally and regular physical activity are keys to healthy aging.
As biological age develops years before age-related diseases appear, any treatment to reverse aging must begin well in advance of these diseases showing up.
Exercise
There’s no quick and easy solution for stopping time from passing you by, but lifestyle changes may help slow the effects of aging. Achieve optimal levels of sex hormones while sleeping enough hours each night, eating plant-based diet, exercising regularly and strength training regularly are key components of an anti-ageing lifestyle. Strength training has proven especially valuable as an anti-ageing measure as it decreases age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) while also improving bone health, blood glucose levels and chronic inflammation levels; conversely sedentary lifestyle can add eight years to biological age!
Get Enough Sleep
Sleep is essential to physical and mental health. Studies have revealed how quality rest can influence biological age by slowing cell degeneration, slowing disease development, reducing wrinkles and fine lines as well as helping improve dull skin tone. Poor quality rest has been linked with diabetes and heart disease as well as mental health conditions; getting consistent amounts of high-quality rest will slow the aging process and enable you to lead longer, more vibrant lives.
Aging is a natural process, which can be hastened by poor lifestyle choices like poor diet, no physical exercise and insufficient restful sleep. But this process can be reversed through making simple modifications in daily routine, such as creating a regular sleeping schedule and practicing good hygiene during restful slumber.
