Neurorehabilitation doctor Alisa Korotina spoke in an interview about what can influence the rate of aging of the body.
Doctor Korotina said that each person ages individually – this is influenced by genetics and the characteristics of his body. At the same time, it is known that bad habits (abuse of alcohol and nicotine), as well as a deficiency of vitamins and microelements in the diet lead to an acceleration of the aging process. In particular, the skin begins to age faster.
“Excess weight and bad habits accelerate the aging of the entire body as a whole,” Korotina emphasized, talking with Lenta.ru.
Talking about what helps preserve long-term youthfulness, the specialist noted: this is facilitated by habits that maintain tone, energy, efficiency, and interest in life. In particular, doctor Korotina called drinking water one of the ways to slow down aging.
“You should drink 1.5-2 liters of clean water every day. The less a person consumes fluids, the worse the metabolic processes occur and the faster the body ages.”
What else is useful in this regard: daily walks in the fresh air, regular exercises, exercises and stretching, intellectual activities in the form of reading books and magazines, such as quizzes, communication with other people.
