Doc Pao's Six tips on how to age gracefully
Aging is one of the hard facts of
life. It is inevitable and something that cannot be changed. It’s either we age
gracefully or fight against the tides of time.
Here are six tips given by Dr. Juan Paolo Bellosillo, International
Fellow of Integrative Medicine and American Association of Integrative Medicine
on how we can age gracefully or if possible, stop time from showing on our
skin.
LIFESTYLE CHECK
Since aging is a process we all have
to face as we grow old, we must ensure that we start from within: our being.
Beauty is definitely not just skin deep. It emanates from within to out and the
stress we encounter daily will show up in eye bags, dark spots, wrinkles, and
what not. To ensure that this can be avoided, do a lifestyle check. Your
lifestyle choices will reflect on your wellness, spirituality, psychological,
physiological, and social wellness. No amount of moisturizer can ever beat
clean living and a peaceful mind. Anti-aging should start at the biological
unit, our cells.
BE REALISTIC
There is nothing in this world that
can really stop your skin from aging. It will happen. However, you can delay it
with the right skin care and the right ways of living.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEART
The one thing a lot of people
overlook when they yearn for anti-aging is their heart. Your heart is the one
solely responsible for pumping blood into your body and if it’s not healthy,
you will definitely see the results on your skin. We only have one heart. Once
it stops beating, we are gone. This is a saying that I often remember and it
reminds me that on top of everything, my heart is the first one I need to take
care of the most.
STRESS
Every time you allow stress to impact
you, it actually becomes a threat to your life and this could even lead to
death. When someone is stressed, it shows on their skin. When someone is
stressed, it will show on their hair, eyes, lips, everything. Never allow
stress to make an impact on you. Learn to control and let go.
NON INVASIVE TREATMENT
With Doc Pao, you can get
photoplethysmography, a method that determines the age of the artery which has
been impacted by lifestyle and exposed to many stressors. This will allow you
to truly gauge what changes you need to make and what maintenance you need to
follow.
YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT AND
WHAT YOU DRINK
The food and drinks we take in affect
our body. There are many foods that yield good vitamins and these are the
things we should eat more of. Berries, salmon, almond, walnuts, spirulina, and
green leafy veggies are a must if you want to achieve that youthful glow. All
the food mentioned here also have anti-inflammatory properties that will help
reverse the ageing of the artery. Acai drinks that come with banana and
spirulina have high anti-oxidant and free radical battling properties that can
actually reduce the inflammation or stiffening causing factors or thrombus
formation in arteries.
In this day and age where everyone is
obsessed with looking young, always remember that to look young on the outside,
one must feel young on the inside. Be wise. Live a legacy before you leave a
legacy. When you take care of your heart, you take care of everything else from
within and this will always give you the youthful flow you desire.
