Delay your ageing process in a natural way

Ageing is a natural process of life that affects everyone in time. However, ‘ageing gracefully’ is an option to look one’s best. Anyone can feel younger and healthier, yet it is not only the skin that needs to be taken care but the whole body. The secret of anti-ageing depends on the lifestyle, food, exercises, and many more. In general, a healthy lifestyle helps in the anti-ageing technique that requires some commitments and dedications.

Natural ways to slow the ageing process:

 So you have hit early 30s and are just starting to notice your first signs of ageing like fine lines, thinning of your skin; you notice age-spots and broken blood vessels that just won’t go away; your skin feels dry even after applying the expensive moisturizers; your first wrinkles are starting to stare at you from the mirror.

Again, before getting panicky, you need to understand that formation of wrinkles and ageing of your skin are completely normal processes. Actually, your skin is the first ‘organ’ to reveal your age.

Even though we can’t stop the clock, we can do our best to take care of the skin. There are several commercial products that you can spend a lot of money on to look and feel good. However, these do not always work and you cannot guarantee they are always safe.

Medicinal Herbs to Lead a Natural Life


Ayurvedic Herbs 

As per Ayurveda, herbs and diet are an essential part of building balanced mind and body. In the holistic and traditional Ayurveda, the Rishis or Yogis were the first to learn the plants and write their therapeutic qualities through direct observation and relationship with nature. And then, years of experience have proved the importance and value of using herbs as medicinal substances to balance the psychological, physical, and spiritual body. 



Herbology, the study or collecting of herbs, is now becoming overwhelming. About six hundred different kinds of herbs are recorded in Ayurvedic texts, with each sorted out by their unique actions and qualities they have within the body. There are some rules in Ayurveda that helps us to use herbs effectively to support health, time of administration, including dosage, and mediums or substances with which to take them.

It is important to choose herbs that are of high quality, even before we can begin taking an herb. They should be cultivated properly without the use of pesticides, harvested and acquired with respect and awareness. Plants are believed to have a prana or vital life force. This life force is easily transferable to humans when we consume them, and hence, the energy of the plant combines with ours. 

The main difference between Western herbal treatment and Ayurvedic use of herbs is that Ayurveda uses the whole plant. It identifies the plant as an energetic, in which every part works together as opposed to separating out an active chemical that can give a specific action in the body. Whole foods are more easily recognized and digested by the body when compare to the isolated nutrients in vitamins. This goes the same for whole plant.

When the level of this mineral is even a little low, energy level of the body can go down, for this mineral is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions, including breaking down glucose into energy. It has been proven that women with magnesium deficiencies had higher heart rates and required more oxygen to do physical tasks, which were able to do by them once their magnesium levels were restored.
It is recommended that women can take around 300 milligrams and men about 350 milligrams of magnesium daily.

Below are the things that offer you enough amount of the magnesium.
  • Consume more fish, especially halibut.
  • Include a handful of almonds, cashews or hazelnuts to your daily diet.

Adjust your Lifestyle Based on the Daily Routine



Dinacharya – The Daily Routine:
A daily routine is important to bring essential changes in mind, body, and consciousness. The daily routine is termed as Dinacharya (dina – day & charya – behavior/routine) in Sanskrit. It is a simple way to relax and energize the body & mind. In order to be healthy, it is necessary to tune our bodies as per the nature’s master cycle, so that it regulates the function of our body’s system. Ayurveda prescribes an individual a specific daily routine to keep the digestion & metabolism (agni) in the right order, and tridoshas in a state of equilibrium. The various stages of Dinacharya begin with a morning routine as follows, and outline a routine for daily conduct that is beneficial.

Arise - Wake Up Early in the Morning:

It is always good to awake at sunrise in perfect synchronization to the natural clock, as our biological clocks are accustomed to the rising and setting of the sun. Start your day with peace and a sense of joy, which will make your whole day a pleasant.

Eliminate - Natural Urges:
 Early morning is the best and natural time to eliminate the body's physical waste. This is a time when one should not be in a rush, but should allow our body to perform the natural functions. Observe your eliminations every morning and if you find any disturbance signifying poor digestion, then go on a fast. And so, it will allow correcting the system of the body before disease sets in. Do not suppress the natural physical urges such as elimination, thirst, hunger, sleep, yawning, sneezing, flatus, ejaculation, and vomiting, since it will lead to uneasiness and even disease.
