Noel Welsh reads a book on staying young by a Cork based author.
Let’s face it, we all want to keep our youthful looks forever, and there’s nothing wrong with not telling anyone your true age when asked, because we all want to look younger than we actually are.
So picking up a copy of French born author Mahayana Isabelle Dugast’s Anti-Ageing Secrets, was intriguing to say the least. The book is filled with good tips on exercises, diets, sleep, supplements and so much more!
It opens up lots of questions like: Do we really have to drink water? Yes, we do, because we lose between three and five litres of water over a 24-hour period via our breath, perspiration and urine. The author explains that if we eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables every day and drink a minimum of 1.5 litres of water a day, we are absorbing plenty of wonderful liquid.
A question most frequently asked is: How much sleep do we need? Well, the author says that it depends on the individual, but she lists some helpful tips under the sheets. Like try sleeping on your back with a good pillow; puffiness around the eyes is greatly reduced, as there is no obstruction to lymph drainage from the face.
An average of six to eight hours sleep is what most of us need to recharge our batteries, after all, our bodies deserve a break.
Mahayana Isabelle Dugast is a great advert for keeping a healthy youthful look, and she gladly let’s the reader into her secrets that have helped her to live in peace, health, beauty and harmony.
