Many of us would be happy to smooth away the signs of aging. What holds us back is the notion that aging can only be reversed through plastic surgery (or by stumbling across the fountain of youth). But what if I told you that going under the knife isn’t the only way to look younger? You can achieve a more youthful appearance in just eight weeks from the comfort of your home.
Check out what a recent study suggests you should do to reverse the signs of aging.
Eat Your Vegetables
The study looked at portions of DNA that correlate to aging. The compounds that were shown to reduce aging can be found in greens. Ingredients like catchins in green tea and curcumin or quercetin are sourced from vegetables. They facilitate a process known as methylation in the body, slowing down aging.
Take Care of Your Gut Bacteria
Gut bacteria play a significant role in regulating the body. Study participants were given probiotics, which reversed signs of the aging process.
Consume Less Processed Foods
Those who took part in the study did not consume processed foods, dairy, sugar, or gluten. They also engaged in intermittent fasting, eating within a 12-hour period, and abstaining from food for the remaining 12 hours.
Engage in Moderate, Regular Exercise
The subjects exercised for 30 minutes a day, five days a week. Working out regularly has anti-aging benefits. However, too much exercise can increase aging.
Reverse Your Body Clock
Those involved in the study were seen to be about three years younger after eight weeks. Thus, eating well and taking care of your body through exercise can reverse signs of aging.
