The Himalayan secret of staying young

As the body and mind grow older, it is easy not to notice the mental and physiological changes that occur. However, there is a lot that older people can do to avert this process and stay young in body, attitude and mind.

Jay Chatterjee and Roshmi Raychaudhuri are keen proponents of anti ageing. They warn that if older people display the following worrying signs of ageing such as forgetting where they keep their keys, finding everything boring or having problems sleeping, it is essential to take preventive action.

First of all, if you are over 50, stop "thinking old" and introduce anti-ageing principles into your daily routine. Indeed, why not:

• Change hands while brushing your teeth
• Try eating something different that you have never had before
• Have some quiet time to yourself every day
• Do something different to relax and enjoy
• Take up a new pastime or activity
• Walking instead of using the lift
• Take a different route when driving or walking

They also recommend adopting a low calorie, but highly nutritional diet, together with vitamin supplements.

The main thing is to "think young", and, interestingly, the researchers have found a principle long known to the Himalayan people, which still is an essential aspect of their anti-ageing therapy. Their ancient knowledge coincides with the latest research in anti-ageing which relate to the stimulation of secretion of hormones including Human Growth Hormone (HGH), DHEA, and melatonin, which are all responsible for influencing the onset and speed of the ageing process.

Even a slight imbalance in the hormone system called endocrinology can wreak havoc in our bodies and accelerate the ageing process. But there is much we can do to hold back the years.

The Himalayan ancient secret of staying young has been endorsed by medical doctors, notably Deepak Chopra and Bernie Siegal.

Over 50s can combine the wisdom and experience of their years with renewed vigour, more youthful looks and freshness of spirit, together with lots of energy and fitness! Developed by Tibetan lamas, it works on the principle of activating and balancing out of the chakras, which are akin to energy vortexes, and correspond with the major nerve or endocrine centres in the body. It is a specific set of five powerful Tibetan rejuvenation yoga exercises.
