Many have heard about academician Natalya Bekhtereva, who “abolished” old age and spent her entire life studying the secrets of a clear mind. But not everyone knows that her advice helps not only preserve memory, but also prolong outward youth. EAOMedia news agency will tell you the details.
It is important to understand: the brain and body live in one connection. Our thinking and lifestyle directly affect our appearance.
Here are Bekhterova's five simple rules for the “young” brain, which also affect beauty.
Constantly learn something new
A brain that does not receive new tasks slows down cell renewal. And the skin reacts first: dull color, fine wrinkles, loss of elasticity.
In addition, there are very obvious consequences. Some people get used to dressing and putting on makeup the same way, but in the meantime, fashion changes, and those hairstyles and makeup that were good in their 20s and 30s are not at all suitable for those over 50.
Remember: diversity nourishes youth. A new product in the diet, a different walk, unusual care or image is a signal to the brain that there is development. The face responds with freshness, eyes with shine, and hair with strength.
Train your memory and concentration
Forgetfulness about little things often leads to skipping beauty rituals. You didn’t apply cream, skipped a healthy breakfast, forgot to drink water or the necessary medications—the body will immediately respond to such inattention. Memory training helps keep you focused and caring about your appearance.
Let go of the past with ease
When a person lives with memories, the face involuntarily tenses: the fold between the eyebrows, the drooping corners of the lips. The stress of resisting change increases cortisol. This hormone destroys collagen. The result is again early wrinkles and swelling. Accepting change, on the contrary, relaxes the whole body and gives the face softness.
Positivity and lightness – instead of criticism
The habit of being angry and judging keeps your face in constant tension. A frowning forehead, compressed lips, a tense jaw – over time, this provokes deep wrinkles. Meanwhile, stress hormones worsen your complexion and cause breakouts. Calmness, on the contrary, gives the face glow and lightness.
By the way, all this works in the opposite direction. Everyone has probably noticed: if you look bad and don’t like yourself, then you automatically begin to feel worse. No one has canceled psychosomatics. So try to follow the rules from the wise academician, and prolong your youth in every sense: both inside and outside.
