According to her, following are the things to keep in mind:
• To keep looking young, eating the right food and doing the right physical activity is very important.
• Raw ladies finger, round bottle gourd, yellow pumpkin, seeds of pumpkin and garden cress and edible gum of khair tree (catechu) are the magic anti-ageing foods.
• In ancient India, use of mud, various leaves, roots and many herbs were used to maintain health and good skin. Even today, natural products are always good when it comes to skin and haircare.
Yoga To Reverse Ageing:
• Yogic techniques like mudras and shuddhi kriyas with water and air are used for detoxification and immunity-building.
• Practices like sarvangasana, pre-shirshasana or shirshana, kati vakra kriya and breathing practices like nadi shuddhi pranayama with variations are good.
• Some asanas in combination with bandhas are very helpful in maintaining good shape and proper posture as posture plays a very important role in one's personality.
• Bandhas are useful to increase the blood supply in desired areas. For this, though, expert guidance is needed.
Protect Bones And Joints:
• Muscle and joint strengthening techniques of yoga are very helpful. While doing joint strengthening exercises, one should be very careful as with the wrong methods, joint and tissues can get damaged.
Ageing Facts:
• One should start an anti-ageing program from early 30s and in many cases late 20s also.
• Some people have a faster ageing process. Their skin becomes saggy very easily and degeneration starts at an early age.
• Many people get bone and teeth problems from a very young age. Generally, many physical and brain related problems also come with age.
• Meditation is very helpful in keeping the brain young, mind calm and joyful.
