Complementary Therapies for Anti Aging
Myths and legends abound concerning elixirs for eternal youth but, unfortunately, none of them are true. For the time being, there is no quick fix to slaying young. However, there is lots you can do to keep yourself fit and healthy, young at heart and looking more youthful.
There are many ways you can change your diet and lifestyle to improve your well being into old age. There’s also a lot that conventional medicine and complementary therapies can do to help you ‘beat the years’.
While many people stay fit and healthy well into old age, some develop chronic diseases associated with ageing, such as heart problems, diabetes, arthritis, acid reflux disease or osteoporosis. A chronic health condition can age people much faster than ‘normal’. However, if you do have a long-term health problem, don’t give up hope. There are many complementary therapies you can try (like tantric yoga exercises) that, while they might not cure you, can help to relieve your symptoms, increase your life expectancy, and improve your mobility and well being.
All the conventional medicines available today can have side effects and you should find out what these are, and report any you experience to your doctor or pharmacist. Do not stop taking a prescribed medicine without consulting with your doctor.
In the West, it is this conventional medicine that has undergone the most extensive testing and research. Some alternative therapies like the many meditation techniques may not be susceptible to this type of analysis, and where research has been carried out it has often been of insufficient quality to be scientifically conclusive about the therapy’s efficacy.
Having said that, many complementary therapies have been practiced for literally thousands of years, and have the weight of tradition and anecdotal evidence to support them, even though they may not have been subjected to clinical trials.
