From time immemorial, humans have been searching for the fountain of youth, a mythical spring, the water of which would keep us young forever! From the day we are born, our bodies are exposed to the pollutants on earth. This includes the dust and dirt, sunlight, fumes from burning fuels, smoke, loud noises and industrial wastes.

So how do we keep ourselves basically healthy and where do we start? The key is to start very early in life. Here are few points which will help you to find the formula for anti-aging.

1. We have to teach our kids the habits that will take them through a long, healthy, happy life. It starts with a good habit of eating the right foods. A healthy diet starts with lots of whole grains, fruits and vegetables. For protein, we can also add lentils, nuts, and lean meat from organically fed animals.

2. The ingestion of pesticides, herbicides and preservatives has been one of the worst culprits in the deterioration of human health in most countries. Diseases such as cancer are on the rise simply because of the increased use of chemicals in the environment.

3. Eating organically grown fresh fruits and vegetables as well as grains will go a long way to extend longevity among all living things. Water is another resource that is required to keep the body hydrated and which also helps cleanse the body of impurities.

4. Its important to drink at least eight glasses of pure water a day. Mediterranean diets with the use of pure, raw olive oil and consumption of fish along with fresh vegetables everyday seem to be the best diet in relation to aging.

5. To get rid of impurities in our body, it is also important to exercise every day. The exercise should increase the heart rate so that the circulation improves and the fresh blood reaches every cell in the body to nourish and cleanse it. Fresh fruits with lots of Vitamin C help the body in healing and rejuvenation.

6. In the old days, people used to wear large hats or use umbrellas when they were out in the sun. With the advent of sun-bathing, people spend hours in the sun without any protection from the harmful ultraviolet rays. This has been a major reason for the rapid increase in skin cancer and skin problems around the world.

7. Smoking causes lung cancer and among other health problems can age a person considerably by breaking down our collagen, constricting our blood vessels and robbing our skin of nutrients thus making us look much older than our peers. Drinking alcohol also dehydrates our system and causes us to noticeably lose our youthful glow.

8. Other tools for anti-aging include Meditation and Yoga. Yoga increases our circulation, flexibility, lubrication of joints and ligaments as well as massages our internal organs for complete detoxification and delayed aging.

Meditation after yoga helps improve our concentration and mental strength, reduces high blood pressure and leads to a deeper level of relaxation that enhances our immune systems. The Mantra Japa type of meditation helps heal illnesses and allows us to melt the stress away.

9. Mental stimulation is also important to keep our youthful looks. Hobbies and other interesting pursuits, happy relationships with family along with a positive attitude go a long way in maintaining our health and prosperity.
