⊙ LOW-SPEED AGING ⊙ These days, one cannot talk about trends without mentioning "slow aging." Everyone has heard the term at least once. A 59-year-old model and writer recently proved his enduring beauty by being reappointed as the global ambassador for a cosmetics brand he modeled for back in the 1980s. His graceful appearance, seemingly untouched by time, has impressed many. As more people wish to slow down the passage of time, “slow aging” is becoming a prominent and persistent trend. While traditional anti-aging focused on skin and external changes, slow aging centers on delaying overall aging of both body and mind. IT'S ALL ABOUT EATING
Aging is influenced by a combination of factors such as diet, exercise, and stress, but the most common focus is diet. The main culprits of accelerated aging are simple sugars, refined grains, and excessive carbohydrate consumption. On the other hand, for those aiming for slow aging, the recommended diet is the ‘MIND diet,’ which combines elements of the Mediterranean and DASH diets, known for helping prevent chronic diseases and supporting weight management. ATHLETIC CHIC
One of the core components of slow aging is muscle. As evidence, interest in exercise continues to grow. As more people seek to maintain a healthy, youthful state for longer, the interest in fitness is higher than ever (HyangJang 666). |
