Here are 5 steps I took to heal myself and age backwards without doctors, health insurance or medication:
1) Ditch processed foods
First thing I did for my health was ditch the highly processed foods I ate daily.
These are factory made foods which come in boxes and contain an ingredient list which reads like an inventory list of a scientific lab.
If you want to live longer?
Avoid processed foods and stick to real whole foods that come from local farms instead of supermarkets.
As a rule of thumb, if the label contains ingredients you don't understand?
Don't eat it.
2) Get sufficient high quality sleep + take naps
Quality sleep releases melatonin in your brain.
This key hormone is an anti-oxidant which fights the build up of hydrogen peroxide and helps to slow down the aging process in your body.
Very important: 👇
You don't have to take melatonin supplements to get the sufficient amount of melatonin. Instead, optimize your sleep by:
- Sleeping in a dark room
- Lower room tempature
- Taking naps
- Avoiding screen time before bed
Seems simple but getting adequate sleep and rest is crucial.
