One of the best ways to slow the ageing process is to exercise regularly. Indulging in physical activity reduces the risk of many diseases (e.g. diabetes, heart disease, etc.) associated with sedentary behaviour. Exercise is also good for mental health.
Ensure that your diet consists of vegetables, legumes, fruits, whole grains, nuts, and fatty fish. Stay away from processed and sugary foods as much as possible. Always keep yourself hydrated and limit alcohol intake.
The body repairs itself through sleep and hence, getting enough sleep of at least 8 hours daily is imperative to slow the ageing process. Getting sufficient sleep can lower the risk of heart diseases, obesity, depression, and early death. To ensure quality sleep, go to bed at the same time every day and keep away from electronic gadgets before bedtime.
UV rays of the sun can cause premature ageing of the skin while increasing the risk of skin cancer. Make sure to always wear sunscreen while stepping out, even on cloudy days.
