Slow aging

Slow aging refers to aging healthily and vigorously while slowing down the pace of physical and mental aging as much as possible. It focuses on maintaining a high quality of life for a long time, not just living a long life.

 

Recently, slow aging has been gaining attention as a health trend as a countermeasure to ‘accelerated aging’, which is rapidly progressing aging.

 

Main ways to practice slow aging

 

• Improved eating habits: It is important to consume antioxidant foods (blueberries, green tea, etc.), sufficient protein (eggs, beans), healthy fats (salmon, nuts), complex carbohydrates (brown rice, oats), and replenish water.

 

• Regular exercise: Aerobic exercise (brisk walking, cycling), strength training (weight training, squats), and flexibility exercises are essential for maintaining muscle mass and cardiovascular health.

 

• Sufficient sleep: 7 to 9 hours of deep sleep per day helps the body recover and prevent aging.

 

• Stress management: Reducing stress through meditation, yoga, and hobbies can slow down the aging process.

 

• Skin and lifestyle management: UV protection, moisturizing, avoiding smoking and drinking too much, and reducing processed foods and sugar intake are also important.

 

Slow aging is greatly influenced by acquired management such as eating habits, exercise, and lifestyle habits rather than genetic factors, and consistent practice is the key to maintaining a healthy and youthful life.
