Anti-aging and resistance training: Reversing nature during slow-wave sleep to preserve youth.
So wait a minute-are you telling me that I can fight aging on my own?
Humans have effective anti-aging methods, deeply rooted in the body's regeneration mechanism we discussed earlier, namely "slow-wave sleep".
You may have heard of this term.
It is our means of rebuilding and revitalizing all aging tissues, and it is also our opportunity-if you are willing-to resist aging.
Come on, aren't we all going to get old and die eventually? I mean, people get weaker and weaker, don't they? Around the age of twenty-five, our brain cells start dying at a certain rate every day, so anti-aging is meaningless, and there is no such thing as "eternal youth".
Do you know what the "Second Law of Thermodynamics" is? This concept states that we are all in a slow process of decomposition. Entropy, or decay, is as essential to humans as it is to everything else in the universe-from polystyrene plastic cups to biodegradable toilet paper.
However, humans are constantly renewing themselves, so we question the "second law of thermodynamics," since we are organized, energetic, and constantly renewing and rebuilding-this absolutely refutes the theory.
So, are we doing these things during "slow-wave sleep"? In what you call the regenerative physiological stage, are we rebuilding ourselves? So, do we really have a way to reverse nature?
Reversal, yes, we can say that.
We are reversing the natural process of decay and decomposition.
We must preserve time.
So, to put it bluntly, you mean that if we can enhance the regeneration process during "slow-wave sleep," we can gain more of our youth, right?
We didn't tell you that humans can live forever, nor did we say that there's any possibility of eternal youth.
This book argues that if we can harmonize our own circulatory rhythm-which you could call our own physiological symphony-we will surely be able to make the melody of nature dance before us.
Besides this, what else can we do to make this change more effective?
**Effective Resistance Exercise**
We've already discussed resistance motion; now let's take a closer look at it.
For a long time, the fitness and wellness trend has emphasized aerobic exercise-making your heart beat faster, your whole body heat up and you pant-and then telling you that this can burn calories.
Aerobic exercise is beneficial to our overall health, as it can help lower blood pressure and improve endurance. However, the claim that it can burn a large number of calories is somewhat misleading.
In fact, when you are out of breath from running, your body needs more energy to keep going, and most of that energy comes from your muscles.
Digesting muscle to obtain calories won't help you lose weight; what you need is to burn stored body fat.
You don't necessarily need to do resistance training; the "hibernation diet" can work on its own, but doing so can accelerate weight loss and improve your flexibility and overall health.
Resistance training can accelerate the process, giving the body a special stimulus, and making it work harder to repair and regenerate at night-meaning burning more calories at night, thus accelerating weight loss.
If you are already doing resistance training, and it is your choice, remember to consult a doctor first.
In addition, you should be especially careful if you have a history of back pain, heart disease, arthritis, or rheumatism.
If you want to go to the gym, then you should find a friendly and professionally qualified coach to tailor a training plan to your needs.
If you want to exercise on your own, you can refer to the simple resistance exercises we provide.
Compared to suddenly jumping onto a treadmill and pedaling for an hour every day, resistance training is much safer and suitable for all ages, body types, and physical conditions.
However, whether or not to do resistance training is up to you. Even if you don't exercise, the "hibernation diet" can still change your life.
