10 Years Younger

We all know there is incredible pressure on women in particular to look younger.

The boom in plastic and cosmetic surgery is evidence of the fact that we all want to look younger.

So imagine if you could feel and look younger without the painful expensive surgery.

How about 10 years younger?

We call it 10YY.

From Dr Tickell’s Clipboard

The Rule of 15 and the principles of low Human Interference ("H.I."), all help to turn the clock back - why? Because with lower cholesterol, a smaller waist measurement and moving to your ideal weight - you’re likely to have more energy than you’ve had for years. And what’s more - there’s every chance you’ll feel younger and look younger. There’s nothing which says "I am old" more than poor posture, little energy and those flabby bits we all dread.

As part of the Rule of 15 and low H.I foods you’ll be eating more plant variety and more fish and these types of foods contain more of the anti-oxidants and Omega oils, which help to reduce the number of excess free radicals in our systems. Free radicals cause our bodies to age prematurely. There are lots studies which tell us that if we eat H.I high food sources (like fast food and soft drinks) our blood fat and sugar levels rise quickly causing sludging and inflammation, damaging all our body tissue.

A typical 10YY week of course includes fish - because fish contains an excellent supply of Omega 3s oils and fatty acids needed to keep the skin elastic and supple, our brains on the ball and our heart functioning well. When you cook - use Virgin Olive Oil, it contains a larger percentage of mono saturated fat ("good fat") a smaller percentage of saturated fat ("bad fat") compared to other types of cooking oils. There is a reason many of our Italian neighbours - eating a traditional Mediterranean diet, have glowing skin and glossy hair - they are consuming more of the Omega 3 oils and more mono saturated fats. The best fish tend to be cold water deep sea fish like salmon, sardines, anchovies, mackerel, herring and trout, but most fish have a reasonable amount of Omega 3. If you are worried about the mercury story you could steer clear of the large predator fish like shark, marlin and swordfish.

The so called chemical stimulants in life are the CATS - caffeine, alcohol, tobacco and refined and processed sugar. A coffee or two a day may be fine but more than that? What’s the point? Tea (especially green tea) is far healthier. Tobacco products age the skin significantly, leading to premature wrinkles. If you need ONE MORE excuse for giving up the cancer sticks this might be it. As for alcohol, keep to a glass or two only - I think red wine is top of the pops as there are anti-oxidants in red wine which appear to be beneficial.

When you are out and about, (especially between 10am and 3pm) don’t forget to slap on a hat / cap and some sunscreen. Skin damage from the sun can be difficult to turn around. Don’t hide from the sun altogether. We need sunlight for Vitamin D and calcium metabolism.
