- Drink water. Dehydration’s the main reason for feeling bad after indulging. Alcohol is a diuretic – it encourages your body to lose fluids. So before, during and after your “session” drink at least three pints of water.
- Before heading out, put a big bottle of water and some sliced fruit next to your bed. Later, every time you awake from a fitful sleep, take eight gulps of water and eat three slices of fruit. Stay sitting for the count of ten, then go back to sleep. Vitamins from the fruit pump antioxidants through you and sitting up briefly aids digestion and prevents acid reflux.
- A healthy breakfast is the quickest route to recovery. Try yogurt, fresh fruits such as oranges, cranberries and bananas, and porridge and honey. No matter how tempting a fry-up is, greasy fat and oil will churn up your insides and sit in your stomach, making you feel more sluggish.
Acidity makes you uncomfortable?? Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before food, relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals.
Lime Juice is a very important natural aid for beautiful skin & helps you look young and beautiful. It will also help cure pimples.
It is also known to help in controlling oily skin, improve a dull and greasy complexion, improve rough and dry skin, relieve tired eyes and remove freckles
Fresh fruit juices are good for health. Beverages like tea, coffee and fizzy drinks must be avoided. Even if you drink tea or coffee try to avoid the consumption of sugar.
- Avoid or quit smoking.
- Get the right exercise.
- Eat a nutritious diet and avoid junk food.
- Avoid overuse of prescription medications
- Do not use recreational drugs
- Get the required amount of sound sleep every night
The fundamentals of anti-aging
With increasing pressure on daily lives, more and more people in the world are showing signs of premature aging. The common symptoms of premature aging are excessive weight gain, depression, fatigue, insomnia and hair loss. I think that in India, we treat the symptoms without trying to identify the underlying causes. So, typically, we would see a victim of premature aging enrolling for a weight loss programme, taking sleeping pills or other symptomatic cures. And the real problem continues to grow because curing obesity and hair loss merely controls the symptoms.
Premature aging is a disease by itself and requires specific and specialized treatment. Anti-aging Medicine is a specialty and a field of scientific research, which is aimed at early detection, Prevention, Treatment and Reversal of age related decline in the quality of life. It is not merely anti-wrinkle or Geriatric Medicine but can be defined as wholesome approach to health, and of the general well being of the self.
One question which I am asked a lot of times is that what exactly is the anti-aging treatment? I believe that there are no ‘simple one-medicine-for-all’ solutions. Each case is different and requires customized treatments.
But if we speak in a broad sense, the anti-aging protocol identifies the stressor and modifies the perception and reaction to it through intensive counselling. Once the stressor – physiological or psychological – has been identified, the patient is put through either one, all or a combination of treatments that include Preventive Medicine, Diagnostics, Therapeutic Medicine, Hormone Replacement Therapy, Stem Cells Therapy, Neutrigenomics and Life Style Medicine.
This form of treatment is regarded by many in the West as the future of medicine. In the field of Anti-aging practice it is believed that our Hormones do not decline because we age, but we age because our hormones decline. Restoring the hormones to their optimal levels can help relieve a variety of conditions including Obesity, menopause, andropause, memory lapses, wrinkles, sagging skin, loss of focus, fatigue, decreased libido, depression, anxiety, low energy, loss of muscle tone and endurance, age spots, and other conditions commonly associated with aging. Hormone Replacement Therapy can not only alleviate the symptoms and problems associated with the above conditions, but can also help to enhance the immune system, increase sexual energy, improve skin tone & texture, increase energy levels, make you look and feel years younger, and extend life.
I am really happy that I posted this first post on anti aging :) If anyone has more detailed questions or would like me to talk about a specific topic, just leave me a comment!
