The search for eternal youth is as old as time itself. And no matter how old you feel. Yes, there are improvements in skin care and treatments, but do they always work? Not necessary. You can stack all the rejuvenating night creams you want, but sometimes they just aren’t the answer.
So the question is: “You can’t stay young forever…or can you?”
Read on for more information.
The science of aging
Unfortunately, it’s science. Not everything is understood, but it is a mix of genetics, environment and lifestyle. For example, there is a documentary on Netflix called Live To 100: Secrets Of The Blue Zones. Dan Buettner visits areas of the world with known concentrations of people reaching 100 years old. They live in remote villages that seem straight out of a time machine. They lead a simple, active and healthy life.
But in the simplest explanation it is the gradual deterioration of the body’s systems and processes. Science will tell you that you can prevent this with a healthy, active lifestyle. But there are other factors, such as genetics.
New treatments
Have no fear – if you want to stay young forever, or at least look young, we live in an age where skin care treatments and procedures that improve your health are constantly improving. By anti-wrinkle filler injections to moisture barrier repair treatments – if you have the money, you can look more youthful. And more and more young people are exploring them.
Statistics show more than 1 in 10 people between 25 and 34 years old tried botox. These treatments, when performed by qualified professionals, work well. Even if you feel old on the inside, you look younger on the inside.
Holistic health approaches
Then there is the holistic movement. Youthfulness is not just skin deep. According to the holistic movement, it radiates from within.
That means eating a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, regular exercise, adequate sleep (anyone know what adequate sleep actually is?) and stress management. Science proves that this reduces the aging process.
Embrace change with grace
This is always there, but not everyone will be on board. You’re probably reading this article because you don’t participate.
We may not be able to stop aging, but we can certainly influence the way we age. Embrace change with graceCelebrating milestones and appreciating the wisdom that comes with experience can transform our view of aging. Or you are among the people who are looking for treatments. Whatever floats your boat.
Still, you have to find the right balance between accepting the inevitable and taking proactive steps to care for yourself, inside and out.
So can you stay young forever? Maybe not in the literal sense until they finally create eternal youth. Some scientists are trying to develop treatments that will keep us alive until we’re 200 – but would you want to live until 200? 200 years of problems? Probably not. But what you can do is stay young as long as possible. You can stay young in mind and young in body and live a good life!
