Slow Down Ageing Naturally

08:41 Rich Personality

They say 'Age Gracefully' and i am sure this is not said by a woman. we all try to mask ageing specially as we step into thirties and forties. The most visible signs of aging usually occur on the face. Wrinkles on the head and eyes, with loosening of the skin are the most serious signs..Can We stop ageing or atleast reduce the speed of ageing?

Yes we can..We definately Can..

Tips For Remaining young almost forever..

Be happy-The physical damage caused to your body by stress has only recently become appreciated by the scientific community. Fill your life with things you love and get rid of almost everything else. Practice stress relieving activities like meditation and exercise, and learn to appreciate joy when you find it. Happiness does a body good.

Keep Stress and Anger away- The more you get angry, the more faster will wrinkles appear on your face..

Wake up with a smile..everday..all your life..forever.

Sleep like a log everynight for atleast 8 hours. The more sound and peaceful your sleep is, the more beautiful your skin would look.

Regular Exercise- This will keep your fat away and tone your skin and muscles..remember fat leads to loosening of skin..Jogging, cycling regularly are best forms of exercise.

Eat vegetables- There is good evidence that oxidative damage caused by toxins and metabolism contributes to the aging process at a cellular level. Foods (but not supplements) high in antioxidants seem to protect us from oxidative stress.

Green leafy vegetables, fresh fruits, nuts and eggs will provide the necessary vitamins and proteins for your body..your skin and hair is made up of protein, so pamper yourself with protein shakes regularly.

Avoid sugar-Sugar is a direct cause of aging and significantly reduces lifespan in organisms from yeast to primates. Not by a small amount either.

Moisturize-The appearance of your skin is largely dependent upon moisture. Help it out by using moisturizers to keep your skin soft and hydrated. Work with a professional to determine what type is best for you.

Tea- Afternoon tea time is one of the greatest discoveries I’ve ever made. Not only is tea full of antioxidants and other cancer-fighting compounds, a midday break can be just what the doctor ordered to sip away stress.

Protect your skin and hair from the harsh sunrays by using a light colored scarf and by applying a soothing sunscreen..

Don’t smoke- Smoking is one of the easiest ways to look older than you really are and shorten your life at the same time. Avoid both primary and secondary smoke like the plague.

Maintain your weight within the normal limits..gaining weight or even losing weight will lead to stretch marks..so take care of how much you eat and what you eat..

Drink lots of water..i emphasise that water is the most essential ingredient that would keep you hydrated and reduce ageing big time..so always keep yourself hydrated.

Keep away from television and spend that time with your loved one..Love and Care will keep you young forever..And I double emphasise on this point..Love is the strongest element for looking young.

The above ways will do miracles on your body.so go for it girls and enjoy being young for very very long.

When you hear the term 'Heart Disease,' what is your first reaction? Like many women, you may think, “That’s a man’s disease” or “Not my problem.”

But here is The Heart Truth: Heart disease is the number one killer of women . Most women don’t know this. But it is vital that you know it—and know what it means for you.

One woman dies almost every minute from Heart Disease.Yet Studies Show that only 21%One woman view Heart Disease as Health Threat.

Worldwide 8.6 million women die of heart disease each year, accounting for a third of all deaths in women. With all the risk factors common to men additionally use of Oral Contraceptive pills is there in women. So women should be educated about everything they need to know about their heart.

According to statistics, the mortality rate among women suffering from cardiovascular diseases is also higher than that of men across the world, including India. The main reason behind the increased mortality rate in women is the changes in lifestyle in metropolitan cities. In big cities women are working late shifts and more and more women are taking help of smoking and drinking to deal with the stress of personal and professional life.

'Risk Factors'

1) Non Modifiable : Age , Family history and sex.

2) Modifiable :
High blood pressure, High cholesterol, Obesity , smoking, Alcohol, Unhealthy Diet, Stress and depression, Sedentary lifestyle.

Following are the Risk Factors That Play a Bigger Role in Women.
These factors affect both men and women, but doctors are finding that they may have a bigger impact on women:

a) Diabetes. This in particular is a more potent risk factor for women. Women who have diabetes have a four to five times more elevated risk for heart disease.

b) Birth Control Pills : Studies show that women who use high-dose birth control pills are more likely to have a heart attack or stroke because blood clots are more likely to form in the blood vessels.
Much of this information comes from studies of birth control pills containing higher doses of hormones than those commonly used today. Still, the risks of using low-dose pills are not fully known.
Therefore, if you are now taking any kind of birth control pill or are considering using one, keep these guidelines in mind: Don’t mix smoking and “the pill.” If you smoke cigarettes, make a serious effort to quit. If you cannot quit, choose a different form of birth control.

'You and Your Doctor: A Heart Healthy Partnership'

"ASK AND YOU GET!" Tell your doctor you want to keep your heart healthy and would like help in achieving that goal. Ask questions about your chances of developing heart disease and how you can lower your risk.
A wholistic approach combining Allopathy, Ayurveda, Homoeopathy , Naturopathy, Yoga , and Lifestyle modifications can save your heart.

If you eat a nutritious diet, engage in regular physical activity, maintain a healthy weight, and stop smoking, you will improve your heart health.
