#Healthhacks #5
Truth be told, there is no turn-back in life. You can’t live the age you have already lived but still, all of us yearn to look young.
We had started hunting for the elusive fountain of youth from the very time initial. If the Greeks were using olive oil and honey for the beautiful body and avoiding too much sun to protect the skin lustre. Ancient India was also not behind. We were using rose water, sandalwood, milk and turmeric for skin health and practising yoga for the perpetual youthfulness. Unlike then known countries we had a different diet pattern as well, something that is named as Intermittent fasting by the genre of today.
Today’s article is all about hacking your age spirit. You can accept your age as an evolved mind and healthy body.
So what we all are hunting to get the best Aging formula?
Ageing is marked by a significant drop down of the cofactor needed for the biological process. With the advancement of science, we came to know about this anti-ageing element- NAD (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). Research study suggests that the elevated levels of NAD can help cease the hallmark of ageing and disease related to it.
Hack your age by restoring NAD levels naturally to preserve the youth in you.
Try different diet patterns
Diet patterns of Intermittent fasting or adopting a low carb Ketogenic diet also provides positive results for building up NAD levels. You may consult your nutritionist to understand it better.
No to Alcohol-soaking
You have no idea how Alcohol drives you for premature ageing. It depletes the level of vitamin A, which plays significantly in keeping the skin firm and youthful. Needless to mention the other health hazards of alcohol overdose.
Hunger zone
Remember our forefathers how they managed to live-long and healthy. The research study also suggests that fasting or taking lesser calories boosts metabolism. This further extends out lifespan and improves overall health. As mentioned above, Intermittent fasting is really helpful.
Work out
Exercise is one of the easiest and most cost-effective methods for boosting NAD+ levels. Exercise forces our body muscles to produce more mitochondria, which are the powerhouses of cells. The increased production of mitochondria results in a natural boost in NAD+ levels in the body.
Fructose factor
Eating foods with fructose such as apples, peas, zucchini, grapes, asparagus, are indeed helpful to increase NAD levels.
Food boost
From the ancient times, Ayurveda says
युक्ताहारविहारस्य युक्त चेष्टस्य कर्मसु।
युक्त स्वपनावबोधस्य योगो भवति दुःख हाः।।
When diet is wrong medicine is of no use. When diet is correct medicine is of no need.
Include these food items in your food to maintain the good NAD levels.
- Mushroom – especially the Crimini mushrooms.
- Always pick unprocessed food
- Go-green
- Fermented foods
- Lemon- Vit C a strong antioxidant, it is also a bleaching agent helping to erase freckles and age spots.
So, before picking the anti-ageing or NAD supplement, try these natural remedies to maintain the youth in you and delay the progression of age-related diseases.
