Everybody wants to look younger and improve the quality of their life.
There are certain habits that can slow down the aging process of body cell degeneration. These healthy habits will benefit your body, leaving you rejuvenated and energized for a longer periods of time.
Vermont Urgent Care presents the following 5 habits that will enable you to be healthier and happier:
1. Arm yourself with antioxidants
It has been scientifically proven that antioxidants neutralize free radicals and help the body fight diseases and illnesses that speed up the aging process. It is important to fuel up with antioxidants, both in your regular diet and with natural supplements. “Arm yourself” with purple-colored vegetables, various berries, leafy greens, beans, extra virgin olive oil, raw seeds, and nuts. Antioxidants act powerfully in synergy; the more antioxidants the larger the benefits.
2. Exercise
Intensive training exercises have been proven to promote the creation of growth hormones. Moderate to intensive exercise also significantly decreases the stress levels. Exercise also reduces the possibility of high blood pressure, obesity, heart conditions, osteoporosis, and bone fractures. It is never too late to start exercising regularly. Even individuals in their seventies can gradually increase strength and stamina with regular exercise.
3. Fast
A 5-day detox can completely rebuild your immunity. While fasting, the body gets rid of old cells and starts creating new, healthy cells. It would be ideal to fast on water for 5 days, but if this is too intensive, try fasting on fresh juices, vegetable soups and herbal teas (without added sugar).This will do a lot for your immunity and body rejuvenation. Scientific research regarding fasting has proven that it significantly decreases the risk of diabetes development, cance
r, heart conditions and body fats.
4. Decrease stress
Stress shortens life and it is one of the worst health influences. Although it is difficult to avoid stress, it is important to find mechanisms to deal with it. Long-term stress harms physically and psychologically and is one of the main causes for many diseases. Find an exhaust valve in exercise, meditation or hobby.
5. Avoid salt and processed food
Too much salt can increase blood pressure that in time can lead to kidney failure, anemia, problems with eye vision and brain function. Avoid processed food because it doesn’t have any nutritional value and often contains many unhealthy substances. Processed food is filled with additives, sugars, salts and other substances that cause inflammation and are harmful for health. They make you feel weak and without energy, prone to diseases and aging.
In the end, stay positive. Whether it’s practicing meditation, prayer or a simple act of forgiveness, a positive attitude is what makes people feel happier and more social and subsequently healthier.
