Say NO to sugar
It may be hard, but try to keep away from sugary carbohydrates, because they feed chronic inflammation, which is one of the worst enemies of reversing ageing.
Now only will you end up putting on weight if you consume them regularly, but your energy and hormonal levels will be affected and this will influence how you look and feel.
Whatever your age or state of health, it’s never too late to reverse how quickly you are ageing and embrace the energy and vigour of a younger you.
Eating essential nutrients for radiant youthfulness
There are certain nutrients that play a pivotal role in the battle against ageing.
Most read in Fabulous
Antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C, and E, are essential in neutralising free radicals—the culprits behind premature ageing.
Integrating a spectrum of colourful fruits and vegetables into your diet provides a potent source of antioxidants.
Omega-3 fatty acids, abundant in fatty fish like salmon and flaxseeds, are vital for maintaining skin elasticity and hydration.
Omega-3s act as nourishment for your skin, locking in moisture and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles.
Collagen, a structural protein dwindling with age, can be replenished through collagen-rich foods like bone broth and lean protein sources.
By incorporating these into your diet promotes skin elasticity and resilience.
Protein is key because it does so much good for your body.
Recommend choosing plant proteins (quinoa, soya, tofu, beans and lentils, nuts and seeds) over animal sources (particularly red meat) when possible, to speed the autophagy process.
Don’t be afraid of different temperatures
Don’t be scared of getting outdoors and exercising over winter and exposing yourself to cooler temperatures.
To ease you into things, why not try a few seconds of cold water at the end of your shower.
I now try up to one to two minutes before switching to warmer water.
Another tip would be to try and visit a sauna.
I recommend five to 15 minutes and then you could try a cold plunge – this helps build resilience with alternative temperatures.
If you repeat this several times the body learns to adapt, and you’ll get used to it.
