Holistic
is defined as: relating to or concerned with wholes or with complete systems rather than with the analysis of, treatment of, or dissection into parts. So the Holistic Approach
is the only way to go. Let's face it, modern medicine is about return business. There is not much money in seeing people just once.
The holistic approach
for anti-ageing
is not some New Age trend
. For thousands of years people in Eastern cultures have viewed lifestyle and self-care to be essential in facilitating a healthy ageing
process.
We basically, have no choice in using the holistic approach
for various reasons. Unlike conventional anti-ageing
approaches, which involve the use of anti-ageing creams
, serums, or even drastic measures such as cosmetic surgery, holistic approaches aim to target and heal the problem that is at the root of the ageing process
. This contrasts with traditional anti-ageing
approaches, in which it is usually just the symptoms of the ageing process
that are treated.
This is consistent with the approach holistic medicine
takes towards treating any illness, and that is to evaluate the entire and treat the entire person, including body, mind, and spirit.
Holistic approaches
to anti-ageing involve slowing down the repercussions of ageing in the human body by addressing key elements believed to play a significant role in unhealthy ageing and ensuring the patient is returned to or kept at an optimal state of health
and wellness.
Holistic approaches to anti-ageing are based on various facts. According to holism
, it is not possible to remove the evidence of ageing by focusing on just one of the areas of your body on which ageing has evidently taken its toll. To eliminate the effects of ageing you must analyze your entire body's condition, and consider the
health of mind, body, and spirit

Stress, Diet and Sleep
Stress
, diet and sleep
all affect your appearance and the rate at which you age. These factors may cause your skin to look unhealthy.

Free Radicals
Free radicals
are an indirect cause of ageing
. This is because they cause inflammation
in the human body, which, in turn, may lead to accelerated and unhealthy ageing.
In order to prevent free radicals
from damaging the body, you must consume foods that contain large amounts of antioxidants
, which are nutrients that fight the effects of free radicals.
I have a few article on antioxidant
and power packed food. Just encase you want to read more.

and omega-6
fatty acids. These are fats that are healthy for you, and they aid the cells to function correctly and support heart health. Heart disease is the #1 killer of American men and women, and it is a leading cause of death in other countries around the world.
Prevention is key to remain healthy and keep heart disease at bay through our older years. Furthermore, fatty acids support skin health.

Poor blood circulation is another factor that causes you to age. Practitioners of holistic medicine
often employ cayenne pepper
to boost circulation. Cayenne pepper enables blood to circulate more freely by dilating the blood vessels, thus carrying necessary oxygen and nutrients through the body. Cayenne pepper has additional benefits as well: it strengthens your immune system and thins blood, reinforces the heart and regulates blood pressure and palpitations.
One of the most important elements in holistic medicine
is reducing stress. Stress effects the whole body and causes imbalance that leads to disease and overall ill health, and may greatly accelerate the ageing process. In holism
, stress reduction is seen as central to healthy ageing, and is considered a proactive effort. Meditation
, relaxation exercises, yoga
, and aromatherapy
are often recommended to get stress under control. All of these tactics help to provide healing to the mind, body, and spirit and offer a balanced state for those who seek to improve their overall mental and physical wellness through younger and ageing years.
Working out also helps to preserve general health, thus ensuring that you age slower and healthier. Peak physical fitness means the body is in its best shape and able to keep you strong and healthy. Physical exercise boosts the rate of your metabolism, which ensures healthy weight management through the ageing years, something of utmost importance since metabolism naturally slows as we age and weight gain becomes more probable. Consequently, your body will not be strained by overweight and obesity, and the ageing process will be slowed down.
There are numerous holistic approaches to reducing the rate at which you age and to remain in optimal health through the aging years.
Holistic approaches never just address symptoms of specific health problems, but instead aim to return or keep the patient in a state of balanced health between mind, body, and spirit. Holistic targets overall wellness, and when we are well, we only get better with age.
So, all you have to do is eat a well rounded diet. Exercise for your heart, strength and flexibility. Meditate and Pray to relieve stress and learn how to let go of the crap you don't need. And last but not least, drink plenty of water. Mostly water.
