WHAT ACTUALLY CAUSES YOUR AGING PHYSICALLY?


Anti-Aging Know the Problem 

Sometimes our aging is due to illness or other unavoidable causes. 
Lack of movement, leading to poor mobility. 
Lack of challenge or engagement, loneliness. 
Stress 
Poor nutrition 
Sun damage 
Lack of sleep 

What actually causes your aging physically? 

Damage to the cells from free radicals, UV rays and more. 
Shortening of the telomeres, leading to imperfect copies of cells and mutations. 
Hormonal changes: 
Menopause or low testosterone Lifestyle changes – reduction in activity, social stimulus. 
Lack of cognitive challenge and novelty, reducing brain plasticity. 
Lack of movement, resulting in damage to the body over time and poor mobilty. 
Reduction in mitochondria, leading to low energy levels. 

Fix the Problem 

Move! Start with gentle walking and any kind of activity. 
Don’t let yourself get to the point where you are barely ever moving. 
Find a good personal trainer who understands functional movement and get them to challenge you with deadlifts, squats and CV. 
Get outside – vitamin D will do your body a world of good. 

Nutrition 

Make sure you are getting all of your micronutrients at every age. 
At the same time, fuel yourself with plenty of protein, which acts as the building blocks for our skin, muscle and bones! 
Think about trying nootropics. Nootropics are brain foods and supplements that can prevent age-related cognitive decline in numerous ways. 

Challenge your brain! 

Don’t let yourself sink into the same routine day in and out, or stop going out. Keep challenging yourself with new things. 
You can use your time in retirement to begin a pet project like writing a novel, starting your own business or even taking parts in films and TV as an actor or actress. 
Computer games are a great tool. That’s because every new game has new rules and requires you to learn and develop new motor skills – which in turn is great for your brain. Socializing is highly important. Join classes and put yourself out there. 

Make lifestyle changes while you’re young 

Avoid direct sunlight which will cause skin damage. Where a sun block and take opportunities to get some shade. 
Prioritise your sleep as this is when your body produces growth hormone and testosterone to repair your body. 
Avoid stress – stress ages you more than anything else. For evidence, just look at any president before and after they served in office. 

Other Age-Related Issues -
Low Sex Drive 

A low sex drive can often be fixed by raising levels of testosterone in men or estrogen in women. 
Saturated fats, plenty of sleep, vitamin C and vitamin D will all help to do this but if it’s not enough, see your doctor about HRT. 

Incontinence 

This is most common in women and the most common type is stress incontinence. 
The best solution is to use kegel exercises. This means contracting your pelvic floor muscle, which you can feel if you imagine stopping your urine in mid-flow. 

Eyesight 

Nutrition can often help with eyesight, such as getting more lutein. Another option is laser surgery. 

Hair 

Guys, shave your head if you are losing your hair. Women, consider using a product that only dyes your grey hairs as you’re getting older. Avoid harsh chemicals that strip hair of its natural oils. 

Bones 

As mentioned, vitamin D can help your bones. So too can calcium and magnesium. It’s also helpful to get more exercise which will further thicken and strengthen them!
