How to become younger?

 

Exercising regularly, every day if possible, is the single most important thing you can do for your health. In the short term, exercise helps to control appetite, boost mood, and improve sleep. In the long term, it reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, dementia, depression, and many cancers. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend the following: For adults of all ages. At least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise like brisk walking or 75 minutes of..

A healthy lifestyle, low intake of calorie, proper and balanced diet along with anti-aging supplements and vitamins help in slow down aging. For having a disease-free life, the focus must be on good nutrition, stress management mechanism, and a fine balance of exercise regime in the form of treatment. To minimize the impact of aging, the following treatments and preventions can be used.

 

Tips for anti aging

  1. Protect your skin from direct exposure of Sun as it responsible for premature skin, wrinkles, and age spots. Drink more and more quantity of water. Also, take fruits and vegetable juices. All these help to release toxins and waste products from the body.
  2. Yoga and Mediation are the excellent form of practice for body, mind, and soul. Yoga increases blood circulation and concentration, strengthens muscles, and enhances oxygen-carrying capacity; keeps our body fit by burning fat and losing weight thus slow down aging.
  3. The herbal treatments are very effective, natural, and non-toxic in nature, having fewer side effects. Herbs can maintain a young look and appearance and too useful for anti aging. Applying fresh Aloe Vera is also beneficial to keep skin healthy and eliminate the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  4. Many non-surgical skin-tightening procedures work using heat to create controlled injury in the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin, inducing the body to respond by producing more collagen in the treated area.
  5. The increased collagen plumps and thickens the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines, acne scarring and stretch marks. Some lasers act on the surface as well as deeper, and have a better track record. It's the wavelength of the laser which determines how deeply it penetrates the skin.
  6. Look for a moisturizer that contains water-binding humectants like glycerin and hyaluronic acid. An occlusive like petrolatum (commercially known as Vaseline, although Aquaphor also works) and mineral oil at night can prevent water evaporating from your skin. But be sure your skin is clean to avoid trapping bacteria!
  7. Sun protection is one surefire way to keep your skin looking as young as possible. You can protect your skin from the sun in other ways as well. Wearing sun protective clothing like long-sleeve shirts, hats, and sunglasses, and avoiding the sun in the middle of the day, will reduce your exposure to aging and carcinogenic UV rays.
  8. While you can’t change your genetic makeup, you can change how certain genes are expressed—that is, how much they do whatever they do. And strength training is one of the best ways to do that. Only 26 weeks of resistance training reverses the aging process at the genetic level, research shows.
  9. Exercise is a physical crossword puzzle, Hagan likes to say. The more activity you can do that also engages your brain, the better. These can involve reaction training (such as playing tennis or racquetball), memorizing choreography (like you would in step class or Zumba), and changing direction (common in step, kickboxing, and dance classes). 
  10. A lot of older people are afraid to jump because it’ll hurt the knees or hips. “But that’s bogus, because you need to jump in everyday life, and you need impact to build bone density,” Hagan says. That doesn’t mean you need to take up Insanity (the DVD series known for crazy-intense jumping moves). A “forceful step” like you’re squishing a bug is enough impact to make a difference.

 

Exercise and fitness

You probably have a vague sense that exercise is good for you—and you’ve probably heard that it’s “healthy for the heart.” But if you’re like most people, that’s not enough motivation to get you to break a sweat with any regularity. “The Exercise Cure,” only 20% of Americans get the recommended 150 minutes of strength and cardiovascular physical activity per week, more than half of all baby boomers report doing no exercise whatsoever, and 80.2 million Americans over age 6 are entirely inactive.

Some Quick Ways to Fit Exercise into Your Day if You Have Ankylosing Spondylitis

  1.   Exercise has been shown to lengthen lifespan by as much as five years. A small new study suggests that moderate-intensity exercise may slow down the aging of cells. As humans get older and their cells divide over and over again, their telomeres—the protective caps on the end of chromosomes—get shorter. 
  2. The skin also serves as a release point for heat. (See “Why Does My Face Turn Red When I Exercise?” for more on that.) When you exercise, your muscles generate a lot of heat, which you have to give up to the environment so your body temperature doesn’t get too high, Hackney says. The heat in the muscle transfers to the blood, which shuttles it to the skin; it can then escape into the atmosphere.
  3.  At around age 30 we start losing as much as 3 to 5 percent of lean muscle mass per decade thanks to aging, notes Harvard Health Publishing. According to a study published in October 2017 in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, just 30 minutes twice a week of high intensity resistance and impact training was shown to improve functional performance, as well as bone density, structure, and strength in postmenopausal women with low bone mass — and it had no negative effects.
  4. Lie face up on floor with legs extended on floor, Cervantes says. Bend right knee and bring it toward chest so knee is pointing toward ceiling. Draw circles — make them progressively bigger — with that knee in one direction 20 times; switch directions and repeat. Then switch sides and repeat, Cervantes says.
  5. Standing with your feet under your hips and your butt and heels touching the wall, squeeze your shoulder blades together for 5 to 10 seconds. Release, relax, and repeat. Lying on your stomach, bend one knee and place a towel around the back of your foot. With either side of the towel in each hand, gently pull the towel toward your shoulder. Repeat with the other leg.
  6.  From a standing position, step one foot forward and lower into lunge position. Stand back up and lift your back leg into the air, with the knee bent to hip height, and then perform a biceps curl with dumbbells. If you can’t lift your knee up in the latter portion of the exercise, keep it on the ground.
  7.  Multitasking can include simple exercises. The American Council on Exercise recommends blending lunges, squats, calf raises, push-ups, or planks into tasks that involve waiting. 
  8.  Never hold your breath while exercising, particularly when you're lifting weights. Holding your breath while exercising can cause a buildup of inner thoracic (inner rib cage) pressure, which can inhibit the return of blood to your heart. This action also can compromise the amount of blood flow (and subsequently oxygen) to your entire body.
  9.   Always control the speed of the weights you're lifting while strength training. Dropping or throwing the weight can cause an excessive level of load force being placed on your body's skeletal joints. The same adage applies to your body. Keep the amount of bouncing and explosive movements to a minimum.
  10.  Know what to do if you need help. If you exercise in a health/fitness club, be aware of the facility's emergency plan and where key safety-related items are located (e.g., first aid equipment, antiepileptic drugs, etc). In addition, know the location of the nearest telephone for getting assistance and the contact number for obtaining it. Whenever possible, work out with either an exercise partner or a personal trainer.
