What Are You Looking For?

Santosh was in his mid 40's when he started to feel that his body was breaking down. When he glanced in the mirror, he saw some wrinkles on his skin, greying hair and balding. His pace had reduced, and he was struggling to carry heavy things. "Am I ageing faster than my years?" "How to become young again?" These questions perturbed Santosh.

One of the masterful tricks of the human body was its ability to give clues about what is going on inside. These alerts could point to potential health concerns or provide a chance to reverse the problem. Some signs like the condition of your hair, skin tone, the way you look or move can tell whether your body functioning capacity is higher or lower than your actual age. We want to be accepted in modern society. So, we indulge in a sedentary lifestyle that speeds up the ageing process and does not support a more youthful body. As we know, "knowledge is power". So, the more information you have, the better you can fight with premature ageing.

Here are 7 common signs of premature ageing

1. Reaction time is slow

A younger person is spontaneous. But as he gets older, his reaction is more time-consuming. If you want to be sure that these incidents do not occur due to exhaustion, you might perform the following test:

• Take 15-inch ruler and keep your palm open as if you are giving a handshake.

• Ask someone to hold to ruler above your palm with the biggest number facing down. Then without your notice, ask them to drop the ruler, and you try to catch it as soon as you can.

• Repeat this exercise 3 times and mark your number each time, to count the final result.

The range is as follows: For someone between 20 to 30 years of age, 10 is a good number. For someone between 40-50 years of age, 15 is a good number. Anything below can indicate the ageing process has started.

An unavoidable part of ageing. But sometimes people see lines at an early age. This occurs due to toxicity of creams, makeup products to minimise the visibility. Even if you can mask them, it does not mean you have resolved what’s causing the wrinkles in the first place. Cleansing your body increases energy and vitality and overcomes this problem. Chronic dry skin is also one of the signs, which is overlooked because wrinkled skin is more prominent.

Tips to reduce signs of ageing

• Use sunscreen regularly to protect yourself from sun exposure.
• Regular walks and physical activity can be a stamina booster.
• Remove makeup before going to bed.
• Follow a strict sleep schedule.
• Stay hydrated and eat a well-balanced diet.
• Stop smoking, excessive intake of alcohol and caffeine.
• Take the help of yoga and meditation to manage stress.
