Ageing: Want to defy it?

Many would agree that ageing is a curse. Your body slows down, your memory is not the same and you just don’t feel like the same person anymore. All this takes a toll on you psychologically, lowering your self-esteem and confidence. Below are some anti-ageing hacks that could help you feel like the same person again-

1. For your skin:

Collagen is produced in the skin and connective tissues and provides elasticity. With age collagen production decreases causing wrinkles. This can be avoided by supplementing with collagen or consuming bone broths,organ meat.

Icing the skin- It can be done in the morning or at night. Rub the ice cube directly on your face in small circular motions for 4-5 minutes, concentrating on areas that need tightening or inflammation reduction.

2. For your brain:

Provide your brain with fuel to keep the mitochondria of the cells working by consuming MCT oil(medium chain tryglycerides) obtained from coconut oil. It delivers caprylic fatty acids to our body that improve brain function- increases energy, level of concentration and focus. It also helps unclutter the brain.

3. For your memory:

Limiting calorie intake can help prevent ageing and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. Intermittent fasting is a great choice for managing caloric restrictions. Food needs to be consumed in an 8-hour window. A good way to start would be to add 1-2 days of intermittent fasting per week.

4. For the body:

HIIT( High Intensity Interval Training) is an excellent way to keep the body conditioned. The workout is such that it alternates between periods of high intensity and low intensity keeping the body alert and focused. It is good for circulation, heart function and also cognitive function.
