Man shares his reverse-aging secrets
Almost no one wants to look old with wrinkles and feel old with the inability to walk. Age is one of the biggest factors of dwindling health and youthful appearance. However, some people are able to defeat the signs of aging, thanks to their lifestyle secrets.
Bachelor Robert Eddison from London is 89 years old. However, the man looks 20 years younger and is still quite active. Here is a peek into his daily, simple routines that help him look youthful and maintain a good shape.
People can't believe his age!
People can’t believe Robert is almost 90-years-old. Many joke that he must be lying about his age. He said, "Every time I go out, people tell me I must be in my 70s or 60s. They even accuse me of lying to them.”
Here are 4 lifestyle practices in his daily routine.
Stretching exercises
Since his thirties, Robert has been doing simple stretching exercises every single day.
The routine started when Robert was having back problems and he went to an osteopath. He said, "My back was so bad it skewed to the right.”
The doctor recommended two to four minute stretches to do after waking up, and Robert found them to be incredible.
Yoga session
After waking up, he does his daily stretching exercises, followed by a 30-minute yoga or swimming session. He also practices balancing exercises, in which he stands on one leg for a few minutes as often as he can. Working on his balance has helped him to never need a walking stick. He added, "If you use a stick, you become dependent on it and you lose the ability to walk without one.”
Countless studies suggest that exercise like yoga is a key pillar for longevity.
