How Can We Retard The Ageing Process?

Human existence is a divine phenomenon ! Every individual is genetically programmed for birth, growth, ageing, disease and death. The mystery about ageing has been persisting since the time immemorial. Spiritualists, scientists and philosophers are all intrigued to the phenomenon of ageing to find the answers to how and whys of ageing. If we think of four stages of life as: morning , noon, evening and night; the old age could be demarcated as evening of life. In the terms of modern medicine and physiology, the ageing could be termed as an evolution of organs and senses of an individual. In fact the old age and its visible characteristics are symbols of experience and maturity of an individual. Stop worrying about ageing or old age and welcome each day as a beginning of new life. One should have very strong quest for happiness to over come the undue stress and worries. Our mind is always busy and affects our thoughts, feelings and attitude. Be creative and positive in thoughts and actions to immortalize your existence. Human body is a well organized system and its metabolic and vital functions like respiration, cardiac beat, control and maintenance of temperature and various chemical constituents (including enzymes and hormones) are taken care automatically. Various stress factors influence our vital functions and metabolism as well as ageing process due to use and overuse of organs. We can't avoid ageing but can definitely retard it to some extent by busting stress, modifying our lifestyle, eating well-balanced nutritious food and regular exercise. Positive thinking, laughter and entertainment are essential for revitalizing our mind and body. Health and fitness could only be achieved through self discipline. Wish you healthy and youthful living !

Old age is unavoidable but we should never get worried with advancing age. Old age is equated with wisdom and experience and accorded more respect universally. Your balanced lifestyle and understanding of self worth may keep you energetic at the core of your inner self. Never discard your satisfying hobbies. Hobbies make us busy in creative thinking and provide sound mental health. A creative thinking takes us away from the barriers of time and space and we feel elated with joy. Psychological factors not only influence our health status but also affect longevity so, positive attitude should be adopted.

Balanced lifestyle is necessary for jubilant old age, and factors like diet, exercise and time management help us to maintain good health. Our positive attitude towards life helps us fight the stress factors. Age related diseases could be avoided through customized diet and exercise. Consult you doctor if you have any health problem and follow his/her advice. Always live in present and never worry about the future. Meditate for atleast for 15 to 30 minutes daily. If you do not know how to meditate then just sit in a chair with your eyes closed and try to listen to the sound of air passing through your nostrils. Keep happy and peaceful. Wish you good health and long life !.
