5 Practices To Defy Early Aging Process

Amidst the fact that an average lifespan for adult American men is around 77 yrs, the body drastically lose its power earlier than you might expect, as Jordan Metzl, a sports Doctor in Manhattan, told GQ Magazine: “you start to lose strength in your twenties”.

GQ explained that our Human Ancestors believed to have reached an average of 30 yrs in life, and human bodies at this era haven’t completely evolved to manage our modern life as mentioned in a recent article “How to Old-proof your body (while you’re living young)”.

But worry no more; there are simple (though sometimes strenuous) steps you can follow to power up against the Grim Reaper. Here are the Top 5 tips GQ has to mechanize your body.

Take note that the following steps apply for both male and female.

1. Prevent memory slippage by doing Cardio. According to the authors of a study made by the Centre for Research in Epidemiology and Population Health in France, found that memory might actually begin to ramble as early as 45 yrs, and suggested that a healthy heart is equivalent to a healthy mind.
2. Roll out those soon to be age-old joints. If you visit the gym grab those long logs, an American Gladiator weapon like – and roll it out to every major body part for at least a minute each.
3. Avoid having a hunchback by stretching throughout the day. If you think about your daily routine, whether in the office or at the gym, most of it is about bending forward. Every few hours whenever, wherever try to toss your hands behind your head and stretch for few minutes; it will open your chest and bend yourself back upright.
4. Calcium, Vitamin D and Aerobic exercise will literally keep you standing tall. GQ explains that an average man lose about half an inch per decade starting at the age of forties. Jeffrey Goldstein, an NYU spine doctor said this because of spinal-disk degeneration and bone weakening. “It’ll occur even faster for runners, weighty laborers and those who stress their spines”, GQ wrote.
5. Overweight won’t let you reach the age of 90. The world’s oldest Ironman competitor, Lew Hollander is 84 yrs old, told GQ: “There are no fat old people. Show me one. Show me a 90-year-old fat person. They don’t exist! Who is 90 years old? The little old man. Well, he’s not fat, and that’s how he got old.”
