Your body functions like a house that’s constantly undergoing “destruction” and “construction.” Aging, in essence, is when the body’s rate of destruction surpasses that of construction. By adopting the right methods to enhance bodily construction over destruction, you can not only slow down aging, but potentially reverse it, achieving a more youthful state.
Strategies to fend off aging
1. Seventy should be the new prime, not old age
Cell biology suggests that humans can live up to 120 years. However, due to issues in diet, lifestyle, and daily routines, modern individuals often suffer premature cognitive decline, poor vision, mobility issues, and chronic diseases, failing to live out their natural lifespan.
2. Cooked food can accelerate aging
While cooking kills bacteria and parasites and enhances taste, it also destroys vitamin C and other vital nutrients. This leads to a deficiency in antioxidants and nutrients, triggering inflammation and aging processes.
3. Inability to relax is akin to chronic self-harm
The high-stress life of modern society keeps individuals in a perpetual “survival mode,” producing an abundance of stress hormones. This not only damages bodily tissues and organs and weakens the immune system, but it also increases the risk of illness.
4. Physiological age is determined by the strength of thigh muscles
Approximately 70 percent of the body’s muscles are in the lower half. Newly formed muscles, when contracted, secrete “muscle hormones” that fight aging and cancer. Thus, the stronger and more robust the thigh muscles, the younger the body’s organs.
A simple, natural anti-aging plan: Revitalizing the body in two months
Here are four key strategies to combat aging effectively:
- Supplementing specific nutrients based on individual constitution.
- Monitoring sleep and managing snoring, ensuring four hours of deep sleep daily.
- Engaging in daily cross-training for an hour to strengthen thigh muscles.
- Exposing 80 percent of the body to sunlight to boost immunity.
By adhering to this plan, you can keep free radicals, toxins, death hormones, and other harmful substances at bay. Implementing correct principles of detoxification, nutrition, relaxation, sleep, and exercise can lead to significant improvements in physical and mental health, bringing about a youthful transformation that makes you feel 20 years younger.
