By Body Satva Team           www.bodysatva.com All of us wish that we should look beautiful or handsome throughout life. One of the fundamental aspects to remember is that ‘beauty is not skin deep’ .  The skin is an indicator of the state of your health. Indeed, beauty begins deep within your body , and is conditioned by your own dietary habits, attitude and the environment. Intrinsic Skin Aging Deep within the cells of your body, there are genetic programs which get switched on or off as age advances, irrespective of the environment or your attitude and habits. This process is known as intrinsic skin aging , which is inevitable but can be slowed down. Intrinsic skin aging manifests by signs such as increased dryness, wrinkles, and skin thinning. Chronic mental stress and oxidative stress (OS) accelerate intrinsic skin aging. Intermittent fasting or calorie restriction slows down intrinsic aging. Extrinsic Skin Aging Extrinsic skin aging is caused by environmental factor

By Prabhakar Shetty & Body Satva Team www.bodysatva.com Aging is a complex programmed process which is hastened or delayed by external factors including our lifestyle and the level of pollution. The human genetic program evolved over a million years ago and has remained relatively constant till date. However, our lifestyles and the environment have undergone massive changes in the last 100 years. Most of the changes are not in harmony with the natural programs that drive almost every aspect of our health and lifespan. In this article and many others on this site, you will see that living in harmony with nature’s design is the best way to prolong youth or increase healthy lifespan . The same genetic programs have endowed us with a potential lifespan of 125 years or about 50 replications of embryonic stem cells before succumbing to senescence. The ends of chromosomes carry structures called telomeres. Every time a cell divides the telomeres become shorter, this loss

Theanine and Melatonin together cover almost all the aspects. Theanine Theanine is an amino acid naturally found abundantly in tea leaves, has anxiolytic effects via the induction of alpha brain waves without additive and other side effects associated with conventional sleep inducers. Relaxation and Anxiolysis (reduction of anxiety) is required for the initiation of high-quality sleep. [1] Mental and physical stress keep the levels of Cortisol on the higher side and the beta brain waves will be predominant. Relaxation and Anxiolysis helps to reduce the Cortisol levels and helps the induction of the alpha brain waves and also the secretion of Melatonin by the pineal gland. Generally, after sunset the Cortisol levels should come down and Melatonin should rise as per the circadi

By Body Satva Essentials Team                         www.bodysatva.com Melatonin may be secreted by the pineal gland when it is dark, but ensures good quality deep sleep and that is just the tip of the iceberg. Melatonin has wide ranging antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective and longevity enhancing effects by activating Sirtuin1 and mitochondrial biogenesis . Melatonin is a powerful endogenous antioxidant; more potent than Vitamin C & E, Glutathione and NADH. It’s metabolites are even more powerful in scavenging free radicals and preventing protein oxidation. The metabolites provide a cascading antioxidant effect due to which a single molecule of Melatonin can scavenge up to 10 ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) / RNS (Reactive Nitrogen Species) molecules.[1] Melatonin is a good chelating agent. Melatonin is able to chelate toxic metals such as cadmium, mercury, arsenic, lead and aluminium. [1] Melatonin and its metabolites exert a range of anti-inflammatory

  By Body Satva Essentials Team                        www.bodysatva.com Melatonin has been known as the ‘hormone of darkness’ as its synthesis and secretion are controlled by light/dark cycles, i.e., its production decreases during daytime and increases at night. Earlier, it was considered that Melatonin is exclusively produced by the pineal gland, but it is found in a large variety of foods also. Melatonin has been reported to improve sleep efficiency. Melatonin may help increase total sleep time , relieve daytime fatigue associated with jet lag, reset the body’s sleep-wake cycle ; and reduce the time it takes to fall asleep in people with delayed sleep phase syndrome. It was found that eating melatonin-rich foods could assist sleep. [1] Melatonin exhibits many bioactivities, such as antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory characteristics, boosting immunity, anticancer activity, cardiovascular protection, anti-diabetic, anti-obese, neuroprotective and anti-aging activit
