Diet : Diet plays a very important role in helping us to remain young. We must have a balanced diet.

 We are what we eat. What we eat reflects on our skin and body. First develop a regular eating habit

 like eating at a proper time. Include lot of raw vegetables and fruits in your diet. Avoid junk food and

 fried food. Sugar makes you look older, so you can substitute sugar with honey and fruits. Include

 five servings of fruits and vegetables in your diet. Red, yellow, orange, fruits and vegetables and

 greens are rich in antioxidants which helps us to delay aging. Green tea is rich in antioxidant and also

 strengthens our resistance against diseases. Include almonds, olive oil (use it as a cooking medium)

 fenugreek, in your diet as they are rich in antioxidants and helps to slow down the aging process. As

 we grow older, we must stick to simple and easily digestible food. One can observe fasting to detoxify

 oneself after consulting the doctor. People who eat a nutritious diet remain younger, tend to age

 slower, look trim, healthier and are more active than others.

Yoga : The age old tradition of yoga is said to have emerged in India some 5000 yrs ago. It is one of

 the surest ways to age gracefully, if practiced regularly. It gives flexibility to the body, prevents age

 related diseases, improves immunity and slows aging of the skin, thereby helping us to remain

 young. In yoga, it is said that the more flexible the spine is, the more youthful the person is. Yoga

 improves the flexibility of the spine and increases the elasticity of our body. It gives a good figure,

 improves blood circulation, energizes you and helps you to remain young and fit. Not only does yoga

 has physical benefits but also psychological benefits. It improves our self confidence. Learn yoga only

 from a good, qualified yoga teacher. Pranayama (breathing techniques) is very beneficial to the body

 and the mind and it oxygenates our cells and helps us to remain young.

Sleep : Good sound sleep not only rejuvenates our body but also strengthens

 our immunity to various diseases thereby helping us to remain young.

Massage : It is skin which shows our age. So keep your skin hydrated and

 moisturized. Massage your skin with sweet almond oil or coconut oil once in

 a fortnight to  delay aging. Massage helps us to feel relaxed and energizes

 us. It improves blood circulation and keeps your skin wrinkle free.

Do not massage when your stomach is full or when you are sick. 

Mental Health : Always keep yourself engaged. Read a book, do crossword

 puzzles, sudoku to keep your brain active. Enjoy friendships, foster good

 relationship with family members, learn a new hobby, maintain interest as

 these will help to reduce stress and make you feel happy.
