What is the secret to anti-aging and “aging slowly”?

Tip 1: Don’t stay up late and get more beauty sleep

The quality and duration of sleep will affect a person's physique and appearance. There are 300 million people in my country who suffer from sleep disorders to varying degrees. People who lack sleep will have wrinkles and dark circles appear on their skin more quickly. If you sleep for less than 6 hours, the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will increase by about 48%.

Studies have shown that staying up late for a long time will disrupt the body's biological clock, affect the body's metabolism and self-repair function, accelerate the aging of the body, and the chance of gaining weight will also soar.

On the contrary, insisting on going to bed before 11 o'clock and ensuring 8 hours of sleep will help repair the body's functions. When we enter deep sleep, the body will secrete a large amount of growth hormone, which promotes cell regeneration and repair, keeps the skin elastic and shiny, and resists the signs of aging.

Tip 2: Do more than 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week

As the saying goes, life lies in exercise. Studies have found that people who exercise for more than 150 minutes a week, such as brisk walking, aerobics, playing ball, jogging, etc., can maintain a better figure, have a younger physique, and resist the aging process.

The 150 minutes of exercise a week can be spread out every day, that is, about 22 minutes of exercise a day, or you can concentrate on exercising on two days on the weekend, about 75 minutes a day. No matter which mode you choose, it can achieve the purpose of strengthening the body, improving activity metabolism, effectively reducing cardiovascular disease, and resisting the speed of aging.

Tip 3: Drink more water and tea, and less sugary drinks

Water is the source of life, it can help the body eliminate toxins, maintain the body's water balance, and help maintain body functions. Tea, especially green tea, is rich in antioxidants, which can fight free radical damage to cells and resist the speed of aging.

In contrast, the high sugar content in sugary drinks not only easily leads to obesity, but also accelerates skin aging. People who often drink sugary drinks and don’t like to drink water often have problems such as rough and dull skin, which is not conducive to maintaining a frozen age state.

Tip 4: Eat a light diet and avoid heavy oil and salt

my country's traditional dietary concept has always emphasized "lightness as nourishment", while a diet high in oil and salt can easily cause chronic diseases such as high blood pressure and high blood lipids, which in turn affect the body's normal functions.

If we want to resist the aging process, we should pursue a healthy diet, choose fresh vegetables, fruits and high-quality protein, and make whole grains the main staple food.

Food should be cooked with low oil and salt, with no more than 5 grams of salt and 30 grams of oil per person per day. This can better control calorie intake, reduce the burden on the body, avoid the accumulation of toxins, and help fight the signs of aging.

Tip 5: Keep a positive attitude

In modern life, we face various pressures and setbacks, and negative emotions such as frustration and depression are detrimental to physical and mental health. They can reduce immunity and are not conducive to health and life expectancy.

People with optimistic moods will have an average life expectancy extended by 7-10 years. If you can maintain an optimistic and positive attitude, do not complain or be discouraged when facing difficulties, and always maintain your love for life and expectations for the future, you will look younger.
