To reinforce your image, wear pastel colors, this is because these tones contribute to making the image look more youthful. People in dark clothing are seen with the most marked expression lines. Pastel colors soften the features and are associated with young children. So dressing like this makes you look less adult.

The Chinese are not very fond of sugar, they prefer to put ginger in their food. Healthy eating delays the consequences of aging. Keep this in mind.

The oxide from the cells can be cleared, and this is by decreasing the consumption of sugar. The Chinese hardly consume it. They prefer spicy or salty foods. That is why ginger is never lacking, nor is black sesame, foods that are beneficial against free radicals.

Another way to stay young is to be careful with the sun's rays, they take special care of their face, they put layers of bases, protectors and blockers on the skin. They use sunscreen with 50% protection daily. Before, to maintain the beauty of Chinese women, they would grind pearls and spread them on the face. This powder worked as a cell regenerator, and increased the skin's resistance to external aggressive agents.

They also seek to take care of stress and cold. The other enemy of the skin is the cold. That is why they only drink hot water. They do not drink frozen things because they say that its consumption can alter the balance of the body and cause diseases. They eat food at least 36 degrees Celsius.

When a person keeps stress, as well as anxiety, and protects himself from cold and tiredness, he keeps hormone levels balanced. But when there is stress and tension, hormones such as adrenaline are altered. Normally, the body is able to regulate it through the sympathetic nervous system, but with stress aging accelerates.

You have to have rigid rest schedules, the Chinese get up early, go to bed early and take a nap every day when they have lunch. All of China has breakfast, lunch and dinner at the same time. Having a firm meal schedule has been shown to help regulate circadian cycles and help you sleep better. This serves to improve longevity and quality of life.
