-Zambian Accurate Information-

Wear sunscreen every day and reapply it multiple times a day. This is the first thing one should do if they want to age well!

Sun accounts for about 90% of visible aging signs like wrinkles and discolorations.

I will also say that at the same time sunlight has tremendous benefits for the body and the mood. Don’t avoid it at all costs or be obsessed about it.

2. Avoid sugar as much as possible. Not only it is bad for our general health, but for our skin as well.

I explain in detail why sugar and other foods make you age faster in this answer: What is an anti-aging secret that not many people know about?

3. Eat foods that contain collagen, healthy fats, and antioxidants.

These are foods we all know and love, nothing too expensive or exotic (I am not going to tell you that you should eat some fruit that only grows once every one million years in Antarctica).

In this answer you can find a list of foods that contain antioxidants: What foods have antioxidant?

4. Treat your skin with care. Don’t scrub your eyes too hard while taking off your makeup or washing your face in the morning; the skin in the eye area is thinner and more delicate than on the rest of your face, and that’s why the first wrinkles tend to appear there. Use gentle products on your skin…you only have one after all!
5. Use science-based anti-aging skincare products. Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Retinol and other ingredients are excellent and have been used for a very long time for anti-aging purposes.

They have plenty of evidence supporting their action, unlike some other trending ingredients that are just fads.

Serums are the best option because of the high percentages of active ingredients, so I’d recommend you to buy those instead of creams or toners.

6. Avoid harmful substances. While this must sound obvious, I could not not mention it.

Smoking, drinking or using illegal substances can wreck your skin, and that’s far from the worst that could happen from it.

I was a smoker for years and quitting was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

I cannot undo the fact that I damaged my body for a long time, but at least I am not doing it anymore and I am extremely focused on living a healthy life.

7. Try to manage stress the best way you can. The more stressed we are, the faster we’re going to age.

Of course it’s impossible to avoid stress altogether, but is is possible to at least try to decrease it. Cut contact with toxic people or environments.

I know it’s not easy because I’ve been through it. It takes time. My ex-partner was a narcissist; dealing with her was a daily stress.

At that time my skin was constantly itchy and I had back pain for no reason. Now that it’s over I don’t have those symptoms anymore.

Meditation and yoga reiki have helped me a lot overcome the chronic stress.

There’s quite a lot of evidence suggesting how stress and inflammation are linked to skin conditions such as eczema and acne.

8. Exercise. Physical exercise has been proven to keep us young and healthy. A lifetime of regular exercise slows down aging, study finds

Healthline reports that a large number of people wish they appear younger than they are, but many don’t know what to do to achieve this aim as they age.

There are poor habits that speed up the aging process, and there are good ones that can do wonders for a person’s appearance & health.

1. As a first step, adopting a low-cholesterol diet as well as way of life is crucial.

No matter if you’re a boy or a girl, the food you eat reflects on your appearance.

Obesity can be caused, for example, by consuming a diet rich in fat and carbs. Maintaining a healthy weight and looking young for longer can be achieved by eating meals like leafy greens, fruit, and protein-rich foods including beans, etc

2. Taking drugs or alcohol recreationally is dangerous and should be avoided. In addition to hastening aging, drugs like alcohol, cocaine, and cannabis can also make you appear older than you actually are.

As a result of the dehydration caused by contact with these toxins, the skin takes on a dull, aged, and rough appearance and texture.

3. Physical activity, such as exercise, performed on a regular basis has been shown by Healthline to retard the aging process.

Working out boosts the effectiveness of the respiratory system in getting rid of waste products like sweat by raising the core body temperature and allowing for greater blood flow to all tissues.

4. It’s important to get in your daily water intake since it keeps you hydrated and helps your body get rid of waste products and other harmful substances.

Similarly, keeping the skin clean and hydrated by taking showers or baths on a regular basis is beneficial. This is because it helps to remove excess oil and grime from the skin.

5. If your skin is really delicate, avoid using any cosmetics that contain harsh chemicals or abrasives.

Some cosmetics contain irritants and/or ingredients that might speed up the natural skin aging process if worn frequently or in large amounts.

You should avoid using creams that are either packaged with harsh chemicals or made with low-quality materials, as doing so might cause your skin to burn and turn an unpleasant color.

Don’t go out in the bright sunlight unless you’ve got some way to shield your eyes, like a hat or sunglasses.

The sun’s rays can be particularly harsh on the face when temperatures are high, causing redness, irritation, and even burns, spots, or wrinkles on the skin there.

Wear a hat or sunglasses to shield your face and eyes from the sun.

Researchers have found there’s a clear way to tell when someone is lying.

According to the lead author of the study, Dr Chris Street, an investigative psychology lecturer at the University of Huddersfield, there’s a single ‘cue’ you can look out for that distinguishes whether someone is lying or just ‘thinking hard’.

Dr Street reached this conclusion after undertaking an experiment where he asked people to lie about their travel experiences, according to The Independent.

Researchers hired a film studio in London and asked passersby if they would take part in a ‘documentary’ on tourism. The participants were then told the filmmakers were running out of time, and if they would talk about places they hadn’t actually visited, along with genuine locations they’d travelled to.

Dr Street told The Independent:

The idea was that they were lying to someone that they could potentially deceive. They were lying on behalf of another person, but the lie was spontaneous and told with an intention to mislead.

There has been a push in the literature suggesting that indirect lie detection works and the reason is that it is unconscious – so people should not be making reasoned judgments but relying on their gut feeling.

But if our account is correct, that is a very bad way to go.

The research was published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied,and the film interviews are available to other researchers – human lie detection is a relatively new area of study

According to the study it’s better to “focus on the content of the tale people are selling us, and asking if it is consistent with other facts we know”.

And the research also debunked the popular theory that liars are more anxious or nervous than people telling the truth: “because often the reason we lie is that to tell the truth would be very difficult and more anxiety-provoking than a lie.”

And just because why not:

Today skinny jeans have become an integral part of every fashionista’s wardrobe but a report claims they can cause serious nerve damage.

People who wear skinny jeans are more likely to suffer from ‘meralgia paresthetica’ according to Dr Karen Boyle from the Greater Baltimore Centre, USA.

“It’s a disorder that occurs when one of the nerves that runs in the outer part of a thigh gets compressed,” Dr Boyle told ABC News.

Wearing high heels with skinny jeans to lengthen the appearance of your legs apparently worsens symptoms because tilting the pelvis increases the pressure.

If you start experiencing symptoms due to wearing skinny jeans, Dr Boyle advices you consider swapping your tight jeans for jeggings or at least jeans with added Lycra to give them some stretch.

If you ignore the pain and continue to wear tight jeans, you could end up with permanent nerve damage.

The boss of Shrewsbury-based charity has launched a fundraising drive to create a specialist eye clinic after British surgeons restored the sight of hundreds of people in the third world region.

Stephen Drew, who runs Medic Malawi from his home in Belle Vue, said the work of volunteers from the Malawi Eye Surgery Fund of London had resulted in more than 30 cataract operations carried out every day.

He said one woman saw her children for the first time in eight years and saw the “beautiful faces” of her grandchildren for the very first time as her cataracts had developed to the point she was completely blind.

He said the recent visit has now sparked him to create a specialist clinic in St Andrew’s Hospital in the Mtunthama region of Malawi – which was also funded by Medic Malawi – so volunteer surgeons would arrive and be able to do the operations with the correct equipment already in place. Hundreds of people had their sight restored by volunteer surgeons

After watching the eye patches being taken off the patients at 7am every day, Mr Drew, former principal of Wrekin College in Wellington, said: “It was awe-inspiring.

“There were 30 or so operations each day on those who had been totally blind and could now see again.

“It was a privilege to witness it each morning. One man just stared at his own hands, moving them around in front of him. Another lady jumped up and danced and shook hands with everyone. A man counted us all.

“A lady told me she had not seen her children for eight years and never seen her grandchildren.

“You will see them today,’ I said and as I looked at her face I knew I was looking into the face of sheer joy.”

Mr Drew said the eye surgery project was a first for the charity but had been such a success it was evident a permanent eye clinic was needed at the hospital.

“There is no eye care for 100 miles, and the surgeons had to bring all their kit by road from South Africa.

“A clinic would enable us to send a volunteer specialist for a few days who would find all the kit available – plus a wonderful caring hospital in a beautiful but desperately poor country,” he added.

Mr Drew prides his charity on the reputation that every penny goes direct to the charity and nothing is taken for administration.
