Aging is an inevitable part of life, but certain factors can cause aging to begin at earlier ages than usual. However, there are several strategies which one can follow to slow aging and age-related diseases. These strategies reduce chronic inflammation and delay the pace of aging.

Certain lifestyle choices must be taken into account as well, such as the amount of sleep one gets, one’s dietary choices, and one’s physical fitness choices. Therefore, these are ten steps to take which can slow down aging.

Restrict calorie intake, but do it without malnutrition. This can delay the onset of any age-related illnesses, which can therefore increase one’s lifespan.

Plants contain phytochemicals, which decrease inflammation and promote healthy metabolism. Therefore, stick to a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, teas, herbs, and spices.

Turmeric is rich in anti-inflammatory properties, which can help slow the aging process. Black pepper also has antioxidant properties and can help boost the effect of turmeric.

Olive oil has anti-inflammatory properties, which help slow down aging. Additionally, olive oil can be used as a substitute for butter, which is less healthy for the heart than olive oil.

A high intake of omega 3 can lower inflammation levels, increase cognitive function, and lower levels of CRP (C-Reactive Protein). Omega 3 can be found in rich quantities in fish, walnuts, and flaxseeds.

Eat less sugar and animal protein, since they can cause inflammation and increase the risk of other health conditions such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes. This will naturally slow the aging process.

Be sure to keep a healthy social life. Having stable relationships and connections can be beneficial to both physical and mental health, and can reduce the risk of inflammation.

Keep stress levels low, since chronic stress can increase the risk of early aging. It increases the risk of chronic inflammation, heart disease, anxiety, and depression.

Drink a glass of red wine with dinner, since it contains resveratrol, an antioxidant-like compound. This compound can slow down the rate of aging.

Lastly, be sure to stay active and exercise regularly. Not only does this keep the body fit, but it also increases the amount of detoxification done by the body.

While sweating, the body opens its pores and releases all toxins that could potentially clog the pores.
