From the mythical fountain to high-tech serums, each and everyone in between holds the promise of being <em>the ultimate<\/em> anti-aging weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>The problem with that is, while we\u2019re too consumed over physical looks, we forget that it is more than just physical looks<\/em>,\u201d says <strong>Mary Cristine<\/strong>, an integrative nutrition and gut specialist as well as the founder of BE THAT LIFE Integrative Health, in an <a href=\"https:\/\/podcast.mindvalley.com\/5-science-backed-techniques-to-look-younger-and-reverse-aging\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">episode<\/a> of The Mindvalley Show with Vishen. \u201c<em>It\u2019s actually more important how we age on the inside<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take it from this incredible 42-year-old (who\u2014let\u2019s be honest\u2014looks more like a 20-year-old), it\u2019s possible to reverse that cellular aging. When you do so, it\u2019ll show in your physical aging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Watch the full 37-minute episode:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Ep #020 | 5 Science-Backed Techniques to Look Younger and Reverse Aging\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fWEGNF-IT3s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ep #020 | 5 Science-Backed Techniques to Look Younger and Reverse Aging<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-s-up-with-the-intrigue-of-reverse-aging-and-longevity\">What\u2019s up with the intrigue of reverse aging and longevity?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Appearing young is often synonymous with being at the peak of your game\u2014energetic, agile, and ready for challenges. On the flip side, longevity speaks to a universal human wish to learn, to love, and to leave a legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One may not seem correlated to the other, but scientifically, there\u2019s a tangible connection between the two. In fact, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7760512\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">2013 study<\/a> revealed that individuals who look younger than their actual age tend to have lower blood pressure and better cognitive functioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The thing is, society puts such an emphasis on looking younger and living longer. So much so that many turn to Botox, mesotherapy, and other modalities to achieve that desired external look. And as a result, Mary explains, \u201c<em>they neglect how they&#8217;re meant to look on the inside<\/em>,\u201d a.k.a., cellular aging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where the real battle for <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/aging-gracefully\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">aging gracefully<\/a> takes place. The actions you take to maintain a youthful exterior\u2014be it through diet, exercise, or skincare\u2014play a crucial role in slowing down cellular aging, ensuring that your quest for youth is as profound on the inside as it is on the outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mary-cristine-s-5-science-backed-tips-on-how-to-reverse-aging\">Mary Cristine\u2019s 5 science-backed tips on how to reverse aging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s no denying that Mary looks <em>amazing<\/em> for her age. And it has very little to do with her genetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What are her secrets? How did she manage to look like she\u2019s in her 20s when she\u2019s actually in her 40s?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In her sit-down with Vishen, the founder of Mindvalley, she shares five simple tips to improve your skin health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-take-in-the-morning-sun\">1. Take in the morning sun<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While a golden tan can make you feel like a sun-kissed god, too much exposure can have your skin crying for mercy. It\u2019s a delicate balance\u2014basking in the glory of the sun is essential for vitamin D, but the UV rays can be relentless on your skin, accelerating aging and damaging its health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>If you\u2019re going out in the sun and not using any protection and going during peak hours, it will age you<\/em>,\u201d Mary says. In fact, Johns Hopkins Medicine supports this by stating that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hopkinsmedicine.org\/health\/wellness-and-prevention\/sunscreen-and-your-morning-routine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sunscreen is crucial<\/a> in preventing sunburn, skin cancer, and the early signs of aging<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It really is about timing and protection. So, as Mary advises, embrace the early morning or late afternoon light and always arm yourself with sunscreen as part of your <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/daily-routine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">daily routine<\/a>. This way, you\u2019ll soak up the benefits without letting the UV rays write a harsh story on your skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-sleep-well\">2. Sleep well<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You remember that saying, \u201c<em>You can sleep when you\u2019re dead<\/em>\u201d? Toss it because, as it turns out, your nighttime slumber is actually a key <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/biohacking-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">biohacking<\/a> strategy to maintain a youthful appearance and sharp mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s research that suggests getting either too little or too much has the potential to shorten the cells\u2019 telomeres, the tiny caps at the ends of your DNA. This, unfortunately, can lead to poorer cognitive function and faster cognitive decline\u200b, as one <a href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jamanetworkopen\/fullarticle\/2770739\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">study<\/a> found.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bottom line is, right amount of sleep (and let\u2019s not forget quality!) protects your telomeres. It helps your cells\u2014and, by extension, you\u2014stay young and sharp. As Mary says, \u201c<em>it\u2019s one of my top secrets for a youthful appearance<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-the-power-of-retinol\">3. The power of Retinol<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Retinol, if you\u2019re unfamiliar, is a vitamin A compound. Its job is to fortify your skin\u2019s defenses, boost collagen, and usher in an era of elasticity and smoothness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>Basically, as we age, we lose a ton of collagen, and our skin is not as elastic anymore as it used to be<\/em>,\u201d Mary explains. \u201c<em>Retinol and vitamin A\u2014apply it to your skin as an ointment daily; it really makes your skin so much younger<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This isn\u2019t just for the ladies; it\u2019s a secret weapon for men, too. So before you hit the bed, let a retinol serum or cream be the last thing your skin savors. And come morning, wash away the remnants of the night and shield your skin with sunscreen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a simple step, but its impact on your visage is profound, keeping you looking as if you&#8217;ve just stepped out of a portrait of your younger self.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-the-role-of-diet-and-supplements\">4. The role of diet and supplements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aging gracefully isn\u2019t just about what you add to your diet; it\u2019s also about what you avoid. Steering clear of unhealthy foods that can accelerate aging is just as important as the nutrients you embrace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mary highlights the following supplements for their roles in promoting cellular health and reversing aging:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Spermidine.<\/strong> Found in foods like broccoli, it aids in cellular renewal and longevity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Resveratrol. <\/strong>An antioxidant that protects cells from aging.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>NMN <\/strong>(nicotinamide mononucleotide). Boosts energy production in cells, supporting their vitality.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These intentional choices in diet and supplementation are crucial for maintaining vitality and combating the aging process<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-cut-down-your-sugar-intake\">5. Cut down your sugar intake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oh, sugar\u2014the sweet nemesis of graceful aging. According to Mary, \u201c<em>anything over 24 grams of sugar a day is too much sugar<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, it lurks in your favorite treats, whispering false promises of instant gratification. The thing is, we know consuming too much sugar can lead to obesity. But did you know that it causes glycation? (That\u2019s where sugar in your body sticks to proteins and makes them stiff and not work well.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>We\u2019re already losing a ton of collagen and elastin from our skin as we age<\/em>,\u201d Mary explains, \u201c<em>and glycation expedites that process<\/em>.\u201d So what are the consequences of sugary snacks? Wrinkles and other signs of aging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But you hold the power to halt sugar\u2019s insidious march. By reducing your intake, you\u2019re not only thwarting wrinkles but also protecting the sanctity of your inner health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CpdQoICPm0_\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
