While aging is unavoidable, it is always possible to hold back the speed of aging.



Anti aging exercises may help reverse the effects of aging. Whether the anti aging exercises are really effective is really debatable but most of the fingers point towards the positive side. In fact, it is the consistency of exercise than the type that matters.

For an ordinary man aging includes the assemblage of the following signs and symptoms – increase in the number of years since birth, wrinkles on the skin, vulnerability to illness, loss of intellect, memory disturbances, weakness of the body, decrease in the lean body, vision, hearing & immunity, increase in the body fat content etc.



Scientific studies suggest that the above could be on account of the various reasons namely, decrease in the levels of growth hormone, sex hormones & melatonin which are all essential for the normal functioning of the body. Further increase in the free radical (ionic forms of oxygen which react intensively with the tissues causing damage) levels due to poor elimination of them and the inadequate repair of DNA in our body during old ages are also one of the key reasons towards aging. To remain and look young, the above mentioned problems should be tackled effectively and anti aging exercises are said to have a role to play in this. As per medical researches, the person who does not exercise puts on weight by more than 25%, the fat content gets doubled and the aerobic capacity decrease by 11%.
