How to Fight Aging

How to fight aging

Did you know that just walking for 30 minutes, 3 or 4 times a

week is enough to combat aging?

According to researchers at the University of California, one of

the principle causes of deterioration of the human organism's physical

faculties is its diminished ability to metabolize glucose. And they

showed that even leisurely exercise, like taking a walk, plays an

important role in keeping glucose metabolism functioning smoothly.

Do you spend the whole day sitting at your desk or in front of a

computer screen? Why not get up occasionally and do a few minutes

of physical exercise? Don't worry about what other people think.

In some Japanese companies, it is even become a collective

habit. Every twenty minutes a bell sounds, and everybody gets up to

do some stretching exercises, after which they sit down again as if

nothing had happened. Japanese managers are convinced that their

employees are more productive when they are relaxed.

The eye was not made to be constantly focused on close objects.

If your work requires that you stare at a computer screen all day long

or if you watch a lot of television, stop from time to time to do a few

eye exercises.

For example, roll your eyes in large circles in both directions;

look over to each side as far as possible and then go from up to

down; or scan an imaginary text on the wall from left to right; or look

out the window as far as you can following the horizon then return to

a point right in front of you and begin again.

In this way, you will avoid long term eye problems, you will

enlarge your inner space, and relax both your eyes and your mind.

In which position do you sleep?

If you sleep on your stomach or on your left side, you are putting

pressure on your heart with the extra body weight, while the heart has

to continue pumping blood as usual.
