Understanding the ageing process
Dr Robin Berzin, CEO of Parsley Health and a Well+Good Council member, recently wrote a thought provoking and informative blog entitled “5 ways you can actually slow the aging process.”
She stresses that there is no magic therapy to reverse ageing and that this systemic (unavoidable) process is a vastly complicated one. The current scientific understanding on ageing is that it is derived from oxidative stress which arises due to exposure to free radicals, glycation, telomere shortening and inflammation.
In light of the possible factors of causation of ageing, Robyn discusses the beneficial effects of exercise, limiting processed sugar, dietary supplementation, reducing emotional and physical stress, and minimising exposure to environmental pollutants.
