What Causes Us To Age?

-

 Can we slow down the aging process, can we live longer, and if so, how? Science has produced some amazing breakthroughs in this area of human interest. It's a really complex topic that would be out of place in this post. But we can provide you with some strong advice to assist slow down aging and improving your chances of living a longer, healthier life. How is your biological "age" determined? 

From an early age, our parents instill in us the notion that we will live to a particular age. We live with the ingrained belief that we have a predetermined lifetime of between 60 and 90 years. 

But because we are all so unique, there is no set rate at which a person should age gracefully. Some people have an ageless, wrinkle-free appearance and demeanor. Others, less fortunate, appear older than their actual age.

 The biological age of our body is a mirror of our mental, emotional, and spiritual development over time. Our body can last up to 125 years in the ideal environment! Look at the two extremely different lists below; when you contrast such markedly different lifestyles, the aging potential becomes fairly apparent. The first individual is equipped with all the necessary qualities to greatly slow down aging and live to a ripe old age in good health.

Lifestyle traits that increase longevity include:. engages in a pleasurable activity regularly. a rewarding career that accepts "healthy" stress. connections with your spouse and kids are generally happy. member of the community who is active and has many friends. appreciates personal development and seeking new knowledge. consumes a nutritious, balanced diet. adds vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to the diet. feels valuable and has a purpose in life If your life exemplifies these traits, you have embraced the traits that markedly slow down aging and raise your chances of surviving to a ripe old age in good health. Lifestyle traits that don't encourage lifespan include:. a sedentary way of life.

obese or overweight being unable to handle pressure. Isolation includes working and living alone and having few friends. Career opportunities are poor or scarce. continuous consumption of nutritionally inadequate food (junk food). eating for comfort and in excess. excess alcohol consumption a cigarette smoker. visits the doctor frequently for different diseases. carries fury, dread, and resentment. lack of self-worth and purpose. Lack of routine and stability If this list more closely resembles you, you might be aging quickly!

If you wish to enhance the quality of your latter years, it is time to act and make some changes. Making lifestyle changes may seem overwhelming, but by taking things slowly and consistently forming new lifestyle habits, you will see a difference over time, and your body, friends, and family will thank you.

Vegan Eggs Benedict with Asparagus

I prepared eggs benedict for you! If I do say so myself, the hollandaise sauce is considerably better without the eggs.  One of my favorite breakfast dishes is eggs benedict, and because Mother's Day (and my birthday!) are coming up, I knew I wanted to make a plant-based version of it at home that would be just as good as anything I could get at a restaurant.   There are a few steps in this recipe using different ingredients, but none of them are challenging or take a lot of time. The tofu slabs will first be marinated in a turmeric-black salt marinade that gives it an authentic egg flavor. If you're going to make tofu scrambles and other dishes like this frequently, you'll probably need to order black salt online, but it's definitely worth it. Any Benedict must have hollandaise sauce, but, to be really honest, I typically find it to be overly rich. Since too much hollandaise may completely dominate a dish, I frequently request it on the side so that I can add only the ...

 A recipe for baked vegan oatmeal with delicious berries. The ideal nutritious breakfast that is filling and fantastic for serving large groups! This version is both gluten-free and vegan. Did I ever tell you about the time I consumed so much oatmeal in high school that I didn't consume any until almost 8 years later, after graduate school? It is real. From ninth through the eleventh school, I consumed one or two packets of quick oatmeal every day, and even now, I find the thought of instant oatmeal repulsive. Thankfully, cooked oatmeal does not make me feel the same way. If you've never tried baked oatmeal, then this is the recipe you've been waiting for. It's one of the few ways I'll eat oatmeal. Traditional oatmeal may be tasteless, gloppy, and bland. Oatmeal that has been baked is flavorful, sweet, and soft but chewy. I can't wait for you to try it too; it's my favorite (and almost always the only) way to eat oatmeal. Ingredients for baked vegan oats Th...
