The science of healthy ageing

Everybody ages. From the day we are conceived in our mothers bodies, we age with every day. Ageing is perceived as something that happens later in life, when signs of it become visible or sensible.

Everybody ages. From the day we are conceived in our mothers bodies, we age with every day. Ageing is perceived as something that happens later in life, when signs of it become visible or sensible. As long as we grow and build our bodies without seeing any damage, we tend to think that we are no ageing.

The truth is, that ageing and the deterioration of our bodies happen from the very first day. It is a balance of two processes that constantly work against each other: build up and repair against damage and decay.

Passage of time

In younger years the processes that make us heal, grow and build muscle, bone, nerves, skin and hair are faster and more efficient than the processes of deterioration.

As we get older the building and repairing processes become less efficient. Signs of deterioration and attack to our bodily structures become visible on the outside in the shape of slower healing processes, weaker muscle, wrinkles or thinner or less hair.

So is there anything what we can do to prevent it? Are we destined to the failure in our attempts just from the beggining? Well..., not exacly.

Path to success

When there is nothing like a magic spell that miracously stops the process of ageing, there are still some steps which can be undertaken to visibly slow this process down. The key to dealing with ageing is to tackle both sides of the equation: strengthen the systems that build and repair, as well as prevent from damage that can accelerate the deterioration.

Here are four pieces of advice for you:

1. To heal and re-build our bodies need proper nutrition. Supplying the right macronutrients like protein, complex carbohydrates and healthy fats as well as micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals is vital to create a strong healthy ageing base. Eating a balanced diet and taking the WellnessPack is a great strategy to achieve this.
2. Every cell in the body needs water for all the protecting, repairing and re-generating processes to happen. Only by drinking plenty of water (2-3 L per day) we can make sure to keep our cells filled with fluid so that all the systems can work optimally.
3. Behaviours that are causes to ageing prematurely and induce damage to the body such as excessive sun exposure, smoking and drinking alcohol should be avoided as much as possible.
4. Finally to help the body cope with stresses that cannot be avoided in daily life, making sure to have a good supply of natural antioxidants is key. The capsule of Astaxanthin & Bilberry Extract in the WellnessPack is an optimal support in this field.

Now, when you know how to create a strong healthy ageing base, do not hesitate more and bring these tips into effect. Do it today, don’t leave over, because every minute counts!
