Amazing though it might seem, it's really possible to control, to some extent, how quickly you age, says nutritionist and author Jonny Bowden. According to Bowden, who has produced a number of best-sellers, including his recently released The Most Effective Ways to Live Longer, applying a little forethought, it's possible to keep from ageing before our time. How soon we age depends, to a large extent, on how we treat our bodies - whether or not, like the light switch, we turn on the good genes and turn off the bad ones. Bowden claims that if we fight the four main factors responsible for ageing, it's possible to slow down the ageing process, keeping free of diseases brought on by aging such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. One such factor, which rushes us toward senility, is the presence of free radicals in the body. Free radicals have the ability to damage our DNA and accelerate ageing. While you cannot completely keep off free radicals, you can definitely limit your exposure by, for instance, avoiding cigarettes, trans fats, excessive exposure to the sun, and fruits and vegetables laced with pesticides and herbicides.
