How to prolong youth: 9 key factors

The aging process starts in the human body at the age of 30-35: the skin begins to lose its density and fine wrinkles appear. It is at this age that you should start fighting for your youth to prolong it as much as possible.

There is an opinion that human life expectancy depends on heredity, but genetics determines only 20% of it, the remaining 80% are other factors that can and should be influenced, says American researcher of longevity and traveler Dan Buettner.

Factors that influence the prolongation of youth

Today, only the lazy have not written about ways to achieve longevity and prolong youth. Doctors, psychologists, athletes, nutritionists, and experts in many other fields are talking about it.

So, everyone who wants to live a long, beautiful, happy and healthy life should pay attention to the following factors:

1. Quality sleep - 7-9 hours.
2. Physical activity - you don't have to run marathons or do crossfit. It is enough to just walk, garden or do other activities that you enjoy.
3. Healthy diet - don't clog your body with junk, be picky and demanding about the food you eat.
4. Avoiding alcohol, smoking, and caffeine accelerates the aging process and worsens the condition of internal organs and skin.
5. Keeping your brain in good shape - read, play musical instruments, learn languages, and be creative. All this will help the brain to work perfectly in adulthood.
6. Reduce stress - at least that's what the brightest minds in the world advise. But unfortunately, according to this indicator, all Ukrainians have already irrevocably aged several years.
7. Sense of purpose - a study has shown that people who have a purpose in life live longer than those who do not know what to strive for.
8. Communication - live human contact enhances memory, attention, and overall brain processing speed
9. Water balance - drinking enough helps to eliminate toxins from the body and maintain overall health.

And most importantly, surround yourself with people who have healthy habits. It's contagious.

The importance of sleep to prolong youthfulness

As you know, the skin is the largest organ of the human body, and good sleep is very important for its health. In its absence, people notice an increase in fine lines, pigmentation, rashes, and a decrease in skin elasticity.

As part of their research, Swedish scientists looked at photos of people who hadn't slept well and those who had slept for 8 hours. It turned out that those who were well rested seemed healthier and more attractive.

This is because during sleep, blood flow to the epidermis, the outer layer of the skin, increases. This allows it to restore and produce new collagen, relieves flabbiness, and stops the appearance of new wrinkles.

Of course, sleep is not a magic wand, but it plays a key role in slowing down the aging process.

How to organize your sleeping space for healthy sleep

Visually, the aging process is becoming more and more noticeable due to impaired lymph flow. Lymph stagnation in the facial area leads to facial creases - deep wrinkles that develop from fine lines. The reasons for their occurrence include insufficient sleep duration or sleeping on a high pillow.

A properly fitted pillow ensures good lymph and blood flow in the neck, and as a result, morning wake-ups without swelling and a "heavy head."

The best products for sleeping, including pillows and high-quality orthopedic mattresses that will take care of your youth, can be recommended by the specialists of the Veneto company. This brand was the first and remains the undisputed leader of the Ukrainian market.

Veneto's sleeping products, which contain Memory Flex memory foam, adapt to human contours. Thanks to this material, the body gets:

• Reduced pressure on contact points such as shoulders, hips and back;
• Optimal support for the spine and back;
• High level of comfort;
• Muscle relaxation;
• Minimization of movements during sleep;
• Hypoallergenic.

Memory Flex foam, in particular, is the basis of the new generation of Veneto Relax ergonomic pillows. It ensures the correct physiological position of the head and neck and guarantees maximum comfort and wellness during sleep.

The company's experts also advise paying attention to the Dynamic orthopedic mattress, which has 5 support zones and calms the nervous system. It is intended for people who care about their posture and want to wake up active and vigorous.

Lux Multi Soft is also a great solution - a comfortable mattress with double cushioning and perfect balance in any body position. It is suitable for couples with a significant weight difference.

For those who prefer sofas to beds, the company also has great options. In particular, the Mark orthopedic sofa is suitable for daily sleep. It is based on a metal frame with beech lamellas, EcoFoam foam, and Memory Flex material. After a night on this sofa, you'll feel like you've had a massage.

The healer of people's backs among corner sofas is the Gabriel sofa, which turns into a comfortable bed for daily sleep with a slight movement of the hand. The material fully recreates the contours of the body, while quickly recovering to its previous state. This ability creates a feeling of wrapping, warmth and comfort.

So prolonging your youth is real. You just need to start taking care of yourself and your healthy sleep.
