LIFESTYLE CHECK. Since aging is a
process we all have to face as we grow old, we must ensure that we
start from within: our being. Beauty is definitely not just skin
deep. It emanates from within. The stress we encounter
daily will show up in the form of eye bags, dark spots, wrinkles, and what not.
To ensure that this can be avoided, do a lifestyle check. Your
lifestyle choices will reflect on your wellness. No amount of
moisturizer can ever beat clean living and a peaceful mind.
Anti-aging should start at the biological unit, our cells. -
BE REALISTIC. There is nothing in
this world that can really stop your skin from aging. It will
happen. However, you can delay it with the right skin care and the
right ways of living. -
YOUR HEART. The one thing a lot of
people overlook when they yearn for anti-aging is their heart. Your
heart is the one solely responsible for pumping blood into your body
and if it’s not healthy, you will definitely see the results on
your skin. We only have one heart. Once it stops beating, we are
gone. This is a saying that I often remember and it reminds me that
on top of everything, my heart is the first one I need to take care
of the most. -
STRESS. Every time you allow
stress to impact you, it actually becomes a threat to your life and
this could even lead to death. When someone is stressed, it shows on
their skin. When someone is stressed, it will show on their hair,
eyes, lips, everything. Never allow stress to make an impact on you.
Learn to control and let go. -
NON INVASIVE TREATMENT. With Doc
Pao, you can get photoplethysmography, a method that determines the
age of the artery which has been impacted by lifestyle and exposed
to many stressors. This will allow you to truly gauge what changes
you need to make and what maintenance you need to follow. -
YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT AND WHAT YOU
DRINK. The food and drinks we take in affect our body. There are
many foods that yield good vitamins and these are the things we
should eat more of. Berries, salmon, almond, walnuts, spirulina, and
green leafy veggies are a must if you want to achieve that youthful
glow. All the food mentioned here also have anti-inflammatory
properties that will help reverse the ageing of the artery. Acai
drinks that come with banana and spirulina have high anti-oxidant
and free radical battling properties that can actually reduce the
inflammation or stiffening causing factors or thrombus formation in
arteries.
In this day and age
where everyone is obsessed with looking young, always remember that
to look young on the outside, one must feel young on the inside. Be
wise. Live a legacy before you leave a legacy. When you take care of
your heart, you take care of everything else from within and this
will always give you the youthful glow you desire.
