It's clear that our biological processes are aging us. We're no longer as youthful as we used to be, so why not live like we still are?
We're all familiar with the concept of slowing down the aging process, but it turns out there's science behind it. Some people say we've all lost touch with our bodies and how to treat them with respect, but I think that's shortsighted and unhelpful.
Our bodies haven't changed, they've merely become more complex. With our new understanding of the aging process, we can slow it down, extend our lives, and maintain healthy living for a much longer period of time.
Here's the big picture:
In the 1970s, researchers discovered that our bodies start to age at different rates. Over the years, scientists have tried to understand why and how this happens. It turns out that every single system in our body slows down and wears out, leading to illness and even death.
But here's the thing: The majority of us die from diseases that don't happen until old age, or the onset of chronic diseases that aren't typically associated with age. In other words, we're dying from illnesses we didn't expect to see.
The aging process isn't the problem. It's the way we treat our bodies that is the real issue. Most people are getting sick and dying because they're doing the wrong things to their bodies, not because they're aging.
With that said, we also have the chance to make our lives better by changing some of the things we've been doing wrong.
By understanding the process of aging and the root causes of disease, we can live healthier and longer lives without resorting to magical potions or risky medical procedures.
Let's take a look at a few of the most common problems we have in the modern world.
- Lack of Exercise
Physical activity slows down the aging process, increases longevity, and improves your immune system. You don't need to hit the gym or go for a jog, but you can incorporate physical activity into your life by walking, playing sports, or simply taking a brisk morning walk.
- Eating Healthy
The food you eat plays a significant role in your health and longevity. For a lot of people, the focus on weight loss and weight gain is unhealthy. The body doesn't care about your waist size, it cares about what goes inside your mouth. Eating nutritious foods helps keep you alive longer, reduces the risks of disease, and helps you feel better overall.
- Stress
Stress is the number one cause of illness, yet so many people are afraid to talk about it. In fact, stress has become so taboo that stress management techniques have become a new field in psychology.
If you want to reduce the risk of sickness and keep your body running smoothly, the best way to manage stress is to work towards eliminating it from your life. Get enough sleep, avoid negative social situations, and learn stress-management techniques.
