If you really want to feel and look young ... don't start with any pills, drugs or other treatments, but simply take care of your body! We decided to start with "aerobic exercises" because many people think that leading a couch potato lifestyle + creams/pills/treatments is enough, or maybe even more, they think that's the right way. Wrong.
Some of you could say "well, that's nothing new" and we agree, that is really nothing new, but still thousands of people around the world prefer the couch potato option.
Just to give you some motivation:
Believe or not, but movie or pop stars also train, maybe even harder than average people to look young (there are many examples, but we will mention only one: Madonna, because that's not the point of our discussion)
An aerobic exercise is the exercise with increased use of oxygen (simply, you can pant, if you are not used to it).
Examples: Walking, Jogging, Swimming, Stair climbing etc. Just keep moving for at least 30 minutes!
How: moderate level of intensity, but for extended time
Important: warm up before / cool down after!
Advantages for you:
a)Strengthening of the heart muscle (yes, your heart trains with you!)
b)Blood pressure reduction and improved blood circulation (no more cold feet and hands!)
c)Better mental health ( yes, it really works!)
d)Immune system activation (be healthy regardless the weather and "hungry" viruses)
e)Live longer and better life!
d) And many more!
Lack of rest, for sure, will not have a good impact on you and your young look. Furthermore... lack of exercises (like aerobic exercises) may lead to the problems with sleeping. Yes, it's true. As we can see everything needs to be in balance. If you don't exercise, you may have problems with sleeping (which is a rest for our body). When you get older, you still need 7-9 hours of sleep and by that we mean sleep at night, not during a day. With age it is harder to achieve due to many elements (diseases etc.). We would suggest to read about "aging" and "sleeping" to find out more about this problem.
Sleeping (decreased metabolism) is time when your body has a chance to repair the damage done during a day full of normal activities ( increased metabolism). No sleep= no repairs= increased aging rate (simply written). In the proper sleeping two compounds: melatonin and seratonin take part and now simple explanation of the situation:
Melatonin is done from seratonin.
Seratonin is done from tryptophan.
If your diet is low in tryptophan you may have problems with sleep or even depression.
Source of tryptophan: eggs, beans, poultry, meat.
Melatonin is responsible for circadian rhythms of few biological functions + it is a strong antioxidant which prevents mitochondrial and nuclear DNA damage.
Sleeping gives skin a chance to rebuild and be ready for the next day. Without a proper amount of sleep you can be sure- your skin will tell others about that!. You may ask why it is so important. Imagine that each day millions of cells die, because of the fact that they have smaller or bigger contact with the environment and other cells have to replace them.
Your body has mechanisms to keep you young as long as possible, just give them a chance to show it! Even the best creams may have a problem to achieve that what can give you a proper amount of sleeping ...and dreaming!
