Erase years from your age (1)

Good morning everyone. I got a good reading article by my favorite author and I’d like to share this with you all specially to those people who are getting older. As she said you can erase years from your age. Not too easy to do, but it will work, when you have the will to do it.

TO understand what erases your age, you have to know what makes you age.

It is said aging today is not like the way it was for our parents. Health consciousness then was not very high. Our mothers and fathers may have undergone this typical transition:

* an extra 10-15 pounds at 30

* wrinkles at 35-40

* dry skin/skin problems at 40

* joint pains at 45

* high cholesterol/hypertension at 50

* osteoporosis/arthritis at 60

* heart disease/cancer at 70

Knowing better

We don’t need to go through this. And we should not. Because we know better. We know that:


* a low-fat diet can control weight gain

* avoiding the sun and using sunscreens can delay/prevent wrinkles

* fruits containing alpha-hydroxy acids can prevent dry, blotchy skin and age spots

* vegetables are loaded with anti-oxidants that the immune system depends on for strength

* exercise and resistance training prevent muscle and bone loss over the years

* meditation and relaxation can delay aging

In short, the age makers are the opposite of what we should know by now and which our parents did not know.

Designed to last

Our body is a near-perfect machine if we learn to take care of it. “The human body is designed to last 110 years,” according to Ben Douglas, Ph.D., professor of anatomy at University of Mississippi Medical Center and author of “Ageless: Living Younger Longer.” -Cory Quirino
