STAY YOUNG – DEFY the Biological Ageing
STAY YOUNG – Fox the Biological
Ageing
The Anatomy
o Telomeres
are nucleoprotein caps positioned at the end of chromosomes.
o Aging causes
telomeres to shorten significantly and results in gradual cell deterioration.
o Regular
physical activity reduces disease risk, possibly due to the preservation of
telomeres.
o Results
showed that regular activity accounted for significantly longer telomeres in
U.S. adults.
o The longer
telomeres found in active adults accounted for 9 years of reduced cellular
aging.
The Do’s
1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay “them".
2. Treat your friends like how you want them to treat you. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, line dancing, whatever. Never let the brain idle." An idle mind is the devil's workshop." and the devil's name is Alzheimer's.
4. Enjoy the simple things.
5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.
7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, friends, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.
10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. Share this with someone. We all need to live life to its fullest each day.
Healthy Diet
Eating a healthy
diet with green leafy vegetables, fresh fruits provides vitamins like Vit C, A,
E, and K, which works as an antioxidant and kill free radicals. It provides a
complete nourishment to the cells.
Whole Grains like
Brown Rice, oats, buckwheat, barley, millet, quinoa are a great source of
vitamins, minerals, fibre, and some protein.
Fresh Vegetables are
filled with vitamins and minerals and are good sources of phytochemicals that
protect the body from disease and aging. They are the ‘heavy weights’ in
regeneration. This includes the power foods like spinach, lettuce, asparagus,
cabbage and carrots.
Fresh Fruits are filled
with vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals that protect the body. This includes
the power foods like lemons, apples, bananas, mangos and watermelon. Each of
these fruits has a host of health benefits.
Hydration Water the
basic element of life is the most important ingredient in the process of
rejuvenation. Water therapy is one of the oldest therapies used since ancient
times in India. It’s known that water carries all the nutrient in the body
through blood, lack of water causes shrinking of cells, making fewer nutrients
available to it.
As we age our
skin gets dehydrated which results in wrinkles and sagging. Drinking enough water,
a day keeps you hydrated. And It keeps the skin wrinkle free and moist. Water
is needed for digestion, circulation of body fluids and joint lubrication.
The Mind’s Make-Over
Keep stress under control: Among the major culprit behind
the premature aging is the stress that affects the physical, mental and outer
look of your body in a negative and undesired way. Stress results in low
libido, have the connection with skin wrinkles development, low testosterone
levels, and unhealthy eating habits.
Deep breath: Breathing is such an important
thing in our life, but we are extremely busy in our work that we never care
about how we inhale and exhale OXYGEN (I think it is precious than anything
else) inside our body. So, from now onwards take care of your breathing.
If you want to stay fit for long time take deep breathe specially if you are
not in so much pollution.
Early to bed and early to rise: If you don’t get time for
exercising regularly at least try to wake up early in the morning and sleep
early in night. You can manage your tasks in a great way if you wake
up early in the morning.
Exercise: One of the
most important things to grow younger and live longer is to exercise regularly.
The powerful exercise effects have positive anti-aging benefits including
muscle mass, strength, aerobic capacity, bone density, and cholesterol. Not
only exercise can keep the body young, but it also can keep your mind vital and
promote emotional well-being. A complete fitness program can help you to
develop flexibility, cardiovascular conditioning, and strength training. Find
your own activity that you can do regularly 3-4 sessions weekly.
Maintain a youthful mind: To maintain a youthful mind, write down
a few things you can do that are totally childlike. Think of something that
evokes childhood for you: going to a playground to swing, eating an ice cream
cone, colouring a picture, jumping rope, or building a sand castle. Find
something that brings back the fun in your life, of you, had as a child, even
if you think you’ve outgrown it, do it.
Utilize your mind: Dr. Geula, who has contemplated
80-year-olds who perform at an indistinguishable level from individuals in
their 50s on neuropsychological tests, has discovered that the superaged have
less cerebrum tangles—stores of protein connected to Alzheimer's—proposing that
their brains have security that ordinary brains don't. While researchers
confuse this out, there's a considerable measure you can do to keep your own neural
connections terminating. Learn Italian, take up the cello—notwithstanding
driving another course to work can wake up sluggish cerebrum cells.
Do more exercises: Life lies in movement. Don't underestimate the energy of
exercise! Life should form good habits, exercise more running, walking,
playing, exercise, dance... Not only... Exercise is very pleasant. Exercise
makes metabolism faster, and your body cells become more active than all
cosmetics. Young women who want to be young always join the ranks!
Stay happy: The only
way to stay happy is by managing stress. Believe me, Stress is your biggest
enemy. It may be Anxiety or Worry. Everyone has a common tendency to Stress out
over teensy weensy things to the great problems of life. When you flunk a test,
if you haven’t prepared for the exam, when you look unappealing with a big
tummy, you didn’t ace something, have loads of work to do in the office, when
the company is at a huge loss, the first dish you try is a big flop, at times
of hardships, when you want to buy a big car like your neighbour, having
unsatisfied cravings, when your girlfriend/boyfriend ditched you, all these
lead to the hideous feeling “worry”.
The happier you are with your life and people, then
younger you will look. The more stressed, angry, jealous you are, the older you
will look.
Never stop learning. The day you stop learning
you become old—at any age. Just as weight lifting is to your muscles, learning
is to your brain. To keep it sharp, strong, and high functioning, take a class,
engage in self-study, do more challenging reading, take music lessons, learn a
new language, talk to people who do something different from you. Learning
keeps you young and makes you feel alive and engaged in life.
Eat lots of greens, veggies, and fruits. Exercise every
day. Practice yoga and meditation. Laugh and share joy.
Youthfulness is about your vitality and spirit. As
we age, we naturally lose flexibility, not only in our joints and muscles, but
also in our thinking. It requires discipline to overcome this natural entropy.
Furthermore, I prefer to use the term "staying youthful" rather than
"staying young".

Prevent Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common type of
dementia, in which the mental ability of persons gradually declines and reaches
a stage where it becomes difficult for them to lead a normal life. With the
disease progressing gradually, patients find themselves more and more dependent
on their immediate family members for survival.
A healthy diet, exercise, social and mentally stimulating
activities, as well as everyday habits, and ample sleep can markedly reduce
your risk of Alzheimer’s.
The most important ways to prevent Alzheimer’s: Control
diabetes and high blood pressure, reduce weight if obese, stay active, treat
depression & don’t smoke.
If you get evaluated for Alzheimer’s, your doctor can make
a diagnosis based on symptoms, a clinical history, and medical tests (to rule
out causes like thyroid issues or nutritional deficiencies). Brain imaging
tests like a cat scan or MRI can look for beta amylase plaques gun king up
brain regions.
Worldwide, there are at least 44 million people living with
Alzheimer’s and other dementias. It starts as minor forgetfulness and
progresses into a disorder in which persons can’t even identify their near and
dear ones.
Yoga and Mudras are very viable strategy for coping with
and fighting Alzheimer’s.
Alzheimer’s and the Brain
Brain cells in the hippocampus, a part of the
brain associated with learning, are often the first to be damaged by
Alzheimer’s. Therefore, memory loss, especially difficulty remembering recently
learned information, is often the first symptom of the disease.
How to cope with Alzheimer’s
Gyan mudra: - Gyan Mudra increases
the air element in the body which has positive effect on our emotions. Gyan
Mudra or the Vayu Vardhak mudra is formed by joining the tip of index finger
and the thumb. This mudra stimulates the pituitary gland, which controls your
metabolism, as well as your sleep cycles. This mudra increases the air element
in the body which sharpens our mind and has positive effect on our emotions. If
practiced regularly this mudra can help you cure disorders like Dullness of
mind, lack of enthusiasm-initiative-creativity, recklessness, loss of memory,
Drowsiness, lethargy, mental retardation, Disorders of the nervous system like
cerebral palsy, neuritis, neuropathies, Alzheimer's disease, Tabes dorsalis,
multiple sclerosis, motor neurone disease, Ataxias, Dementias, Syringomyelia.
It also facilitates
movements of electrical impulses along nerves, empowers the pituitary gland
and, thereby, the entire system of endocrine glands, empowers muscles, both
voluntary and involuntary, empowers the vocal cords and the voice, empowers the
heart. Perform for 30-45 minutes every day, or for 10-15 minutes 3 times a day.
Mood enhancement is important because of the emotional difficulties involved in
coming to terms with cognitive impairment.
Mantra vibrations
The
nasal and sonorous sound of proper recitation of mantras creates vibrations
inside the brain that increases the probability of producing 40 hertz brain
waves. Since both auditory and visual cortex, where sound and light signals
respectively are processed, are in a certain section of the brain, we still do
not know the exact mechanics of how such sound waves create 40 hertz for the
whole brain.
Some
scientists speculate that the hippocampus, which is the memory region of the
brain, is positively affected by this chanting. Hippocampus is the first region
of the brain affected by plaques. If plaque reduction in this region can be
affected, then this cascading effect can be felt in other areas also.
The Aum sound: - verbal recitation boosts cognitive function
Walking Barefoot On Grass
Green
is a soothing color that helps calm your mind and reduces tension. When you
walk barefoot on grass, the level of endorphins (feel-good hormones) in your
body increases. Research also shows that walking barefoot on grass helps to
decrease stress level by 62 percent. Apart
from these, there are other benefits of earthing such as it improves autonomic
nervous system balance, promotes cardiovascular health, improves blood
viscosity, boosts brain power, improves heart rate variability etc.
Do yogic asanas and pranayama daily only in fresh air (not
in AC halls) to maximise the effects of oxygenated blood in your body. It will
increase the lustre of your face, hair, besides preserving your youthfulness
and increasing vitality.
Yoga alters spontaneous respiratory
regulation and reduces hypoxia.
Prolonged or chronic hypoxia has
been shown to alter the excitability and functional expression of ion channels,
which possibly contributes to neurodegeneration.

EMOTIONAL TURBULENCE : RELEASE THE TURMOIL
Humans can mentally
time travel through past, present, and future.
When the energy is flowing through your body,
you are releasing the old and welcoming in the new and healing happens
effortlessly. Your body keeps a physical memory of all your
experiences. The body doesn't forget. The body doesn't have words to express
itself, so it responds with physical sensations. Your stuck emotions hold you
back in every area of your life. Did you know that emotions are physical
molecules in the body? And that your emotions can get stored up and begin
causing imbalances, mood issues, anxiety, depression, and any disease you can
think of? It’s true. And many people have no clue that the symptoms they are
dealing with are being caused by unprocessed and blocked emotions in the body.
"We need to express,
release, unblock or detox our negative emotions or they will build up and block
us from enjoying our present, being productive, and reaching our goals,"
Most Commonly
Stuck Emotions
1. Anxiety
2. Grief
3. Disgusted
4. Fatigue
5. Frustration
6. Depression
7. Anger
8. Guilt
9. Sadness
10. Grudges
11. Stress
12. Dissatisfaction
These
Factors combine to lead to low self-worth, poor emotional regulation skills,
and difficulties with social and emotional functioning. Fear is one of the most
powerful emotions humans experience and has wide-ranging effects on physiology,
emotions, attitudes, cognitions, and behaviours. When we get stuck in not
liking things or wanting them to be different than they are, we ignore them. We
choose not to accept our own hand in the matter. That we have choices we can
make when we confront the truth. When you ignore this ultimate control, we
believe we can exert OUR way over reality – that the path, the fix, must bend
to our way. So, if you are frustrated and dissatisfied with life right now,
somewhere you are not accepting the truth of things and instead you are
fighting their existence.
“Pain
is a normal part of life, but suffering isn’t.” When we do not adequately
learn to deal with our turbulent emotions, we will suffer, and we will often
become physically ill.
Quite
frequently, when we’re an emotional wreck, it’s because we’re not addressing
something in our lives. So here is a list of the primary emotions and what they
usually indicate:
·
Angry—something
needs to be stopped.
·
Sad—something
needs to be released.
·
Scared—something
needs to be known.
·
Joy—something
needs to be celebrated.
·
Sexual Feelings—something needs to be created.
How to get rid of
Emotional Turmoil
1.
Staying Mindful during
emotional turbulence: The goal is to recognize the root cause of emotional distress when you
have lost control and take back the reigns. This helps keep your emotions from
erupting and taking over.
2. Calm
down: Slow down and
take some deep breaths and create a buffer between yourself and whatever is
occurring. If you cannot change how things are, practice acceptance and
surrender, and notice how you begin to settle into the emotions rather than
being taken for a wild ride.
3.
Bring your awareness: Whatever emotions you are feeling in this
moment. Are you angry, sad, fearful, hurt, confused, or ashamed? Become aware
of what comes up. Remind yourself that you are not your emotions; that they are simply
energy in motion. They are transitory.
4.
Rebuilding a sense of
self-esteem: Remind
yourself how amazing you are. In your head or out loud, tell yourself
"This transition is hard, but I'm going to come through it stronger than I
was before. I know I'm smart and capable. The more strongly I feel it, the more
other people will feel it, too!".
5.
cool off: When you’re feeling angry remove yourself from the situation for a
bit to give yourself time to “cool off.” Remember, while you’re still angry,
you’ll likely have trouble processing logical statements. If you remove
yourself long enough to calm yourself down and reassess, you’ll get a much
clearer picture of what’s going on. When you come back, you’ll be able to
communicate more clearly and make better decisions.
6.
Eliminate negativity: The highly sensitive person’s problem is
taking things too personally. But it’s much more than that. The
highly sensitive person is deeply affected by any highly stimulating situation,
whether physical, mental and emotional. Let
your joy, happiness, optimism, wonder, and gratitude grace your life.
7.
Break the Circuit: Much like a circuit breaker, once the load
becomes too intense to bear and we feel more than we can process, we simply
disconnect. Separating our conscious mind from our emotional mind.
8.
Let Tears flow of their own
accord: Crying does
not only mentally cleanse us, it can cleanse our body too. Tears that are
produced by stress help the body get rid of chemicals that raise cortisol, the
stress hormone. Tears can elevate our mood better than any antidepressant
available.
9.
Exercise: Exercising regularly like running, biking,
hiking, walking, dancing, or swimming for about 30 minutes at least three times
a week will help regulate the emotions.
10. Sleep
tight: Getting at
least eight hours of sleep is helpful to maintain a calm emotional state and
turbulence.
11. Dietary
Changes: Including
healthier foods and avoiding foods with high levels of salt, fat and sugar will
also work to help ease symptoms. Adding healthy fruits, whole grains and
vegetables to the diet and limiting caffeine and alcohol will help quell the
problems of emotional distress.
12. Adjust
Your Perspective: Something
bad has just happened. Our immediate emotional response to negative life events
is often stronger and more negatively charged than it needs to be. That’s
because we rarely expect things to go wrong in any given moment, but they
sometimes do. To counteract this, I recommend a perspective shift. Every situation has many possible
perspectives. I think by default we tend to pick the worst one because negative
events bias our mind to negative thoughts about those events. But if we
consider other, more positive perspectives, we can reverse this negativity cycle.
13. Prepare
An Action Plan: You won’t escape unless you act. Emotional turmoil is difficult to escape
sometimes because it depresses our entire system. When we feel bad, we have
less energy, less motivation, less willpower, and fewer ideas. you should still
be able to start forming a plan of action. What steps can you take to improve
your situation? You’ll find that simply clarifying your intent is enough to
create a powerful spark inside of you that can lead to action.
14. Forgiveness: To truly heal, you must
be able to forgive yourself. Beating yourself up for past transgressions
isn't productive, and certainly doesn't make you feel good about yourself.
Life is a constant flux, and a wax and wane of good and bad. If
everything was always good, we would find life boring and we’d take it for
granted. In this way, the bad moments in our lives can even be necessary
and beneficial – they provide a contrast for the good, so we can appreciate it
even more fully. When you let your emotions run their course, then something
beautiful happens. expressing emotions such as disappointment with noise and
anger are negative, we should instead react to disappointment with a show of
acceptance and grace.
Happiness and fulfilment are within your grasp, but
sometimes just out of reach.
