Healthy Ageing

by Matthew Powell

Why is it that some people seem to age so much better than others? Take a group of classmates, fifteen to twenty years after they left school, and you will see vast differences in how each of them has aged. Indeed, this fictitious class reunion might seem as if the invitees range in birth date by as much as ten or more years.

To begin with, like so many things, ageing is in your genes. The oiliness and elasticity of your skin, for men the inherent ability to hold onto their own hair, and for all of us the inherent prowess of the hair remaining its natural colour are all down to good old ma and pa. There is little, hair plugs / hair dye and plastic surgery aside, that we can do to counteract this. However, there are many other factors that can exacerbate the ageing process and so, logically, there must also be ways to help prevent it.

So, there it is. Your 5 step guide to looking young – Eat well and DRINK water, stay out of the sun, don’t smoke, get some rest and relax a little more, keep a healthy body fat percentage, don’t go into politics, get parents with better genes.
