Vertical anti-aging: five secrets to a youthful appearance

At the dance on Friday night in my small town, an older man appeared who I found very attractive. Now you must first understand that I am attracted to younger men, since I think, feel and look much younger than I am. Why did it appeal to me? Simply because he had a youthful posture. Yes, he was also in good physical condition, with a flat stomach and obviously strong, but he must have been in his 80s and at the time I was in his 50s. We danced a couple of times, her straight spine never curving down, but she proudly wore her majestic figure.

Why are some people so young and energetic looking in their later years? Many reasons including nutrition, exercise, and most importantly attitude, but posture is king. Try looking at yourself in the mirror, first standing on your side, collapsing. Do you look younger or older? Now, still standing sideways, straighten your back, pulling your shoulders back if necessary, just to see the difference. Big difference, right?

So what to do if it has been falling?

1. Find a chiropractor or osteopathic physician who specializes in posture. They are out there and their techniques will improve your overall health, as the spine houses the nervous system, the ruler of our organs. Request exercises that you can do at home to improve your posture.

2. Every day, as much as you can, when you find yourself slipping, think out loud.. Imagine that you are a puppet on a string, pulling up from the top of your head. Then relax your neck and the rest of your body, arms, legs, back, and stomach.

3. Watch some chi-kung or tai-chi classes. It will surely help your posture, especially if you stay conscious while doing the movements. Make sure you have your doctor’s authorization.

4. Every day as you walk through the doors of your home, try this fun and relaxing exercise.– Stop and place your hands on the door frame at shoulder height, standing outside the frame, feet on the threshold. Next, bend over as far as you can comfortably and slowly count to ten. Try to do this three times a day. It will also open your lungs according to my chiropractor! Check with your doctor to make sure you can.

5. Think royal, royal, how a king or queen can sit, walk and stand.. Well, a lowly king or queen, of course. I think you will also be much more relaxed that way.
