MANILA, Philippines - People as early as 18 years old already worry about the onset of aging and the “symptoms” that usually go with it: memory loss, serious illnesses, sexual inactivity, not to mention wrinkles.
With the recent studies on the early signs of aging, people are given more reasons to worry. For instance, the steady decline in many cognitive processes usually starts in one’s thirties. Meanwhile, heart diseases caused by high cholesterol levels already affect individuals in their twenties.
Although there are more than enough reasons to be worried, doctors would agree that the key to longevity and youth has always been attributed to healthy living.
In the incoming issue of Zen Health magazine, with Chris Tiu on the cover, the staff shares fresh insights that will inspire readers to live a healthier life, thus delaying the early signs of aging.
Living a healthy life starts with proper diet. In this issue, readers are taught healthy diets without sacrificing the pleasures of eating. The benefits of nature’s wonders, like wheatgrass, acai berries, kefir, and malunggay, will also be featured in Zen Health.
Taking care of the skin starts from within. Early signs of skin aging are usually caused by bad habits like smoking, a stressful environment, or being exposed to too much sun. Zen Health shares some stress-busting tips, yummy recipes to take care of the skin, as well as makeup that can give women a youthful glow.
Be physically fit. Studies have shown that people who are still virile and healthy in their 80s were active during their early life. Exercise, after all, is important for promoting good health, functional independence, and quality of life in older adults. In its latest issue, Zen Health suggests easy-to-do yoga exercises and other active practices that foster good well-being.
