Relaxation is a key to slowing down the aging process.
Stress, whether physical or emotional is a killer and can take years off your life. Develop a daily routine that allows you time to simply do nothing but relax. Those of you who practice yoga will know the methods for relaxing and, indeed, this is a prime requirement for the practitioners of these exercises. For others, you must learn how to clear your minds of the debris of the day and be able to let your mind drift unencumbered by worries and concerns that can create tension. Learning to breathe properly is a key to this and long, slow and deep breathing is important if you are to achieve the state of full relaxation.
