Reversing Biological Age: Abhi's Age-Defying Morning Routine

My morning routine also places emphasis on oral health. I believe in taking care of my oral microbiome by rinsing my mouth with coconut oil, an ancient practice known as oil pulling. After this, I brush with a non-toxic toothpaste, ensuring I maintain a healthy, chemical-free oral environment.

Myy first food of the day is often a bowl of plant-based yogurt laden with a variety of berries. These fruits are rich in polyphenols, a class of compounds with notable health benefits including anti-inflammatory, heart, and brain health promotion. Alongside, a warm cup of green matcha tea further adds to my intake of polyphenols, starting the day on a healthy note.

One of the most well-known polyphenols is resveratrol, famously found in red wine. This compound is believed to have a range of benefits, including promoting heart health, supporting brain health, and offering potent anti-inflammatory effects. By including a variety of polyphenol-rich foods in my diet, such as berries and green matcha tea, I am able to reap these incredible health benefits, further supporting my goal of reversing biological age. Resveratrol can also be taken as a supplement.

After my breakfast, I follow the intermittent fasting method. This period of fasting, which often lasts until dinner, gives my body a chance to fully digest and metabolize the breakfast and helps me maintain a healthy weight and energy level throughout the day.

Continuing with my morning routine, I have another cup of green matcha tea mid-morning. This offers a top-up of polyphenols and serves as a great antioxidant boost for the day.

To break the monotony of sitting and to encourage an active lifestyle, I use a standing desk for my work, whether at home or at the office. This not only helps in reducing sedentary behavior but also improves posture and burns more calories.

My philosophy on health and well-being extends beyond the morning routine. I firmly believe in the power of a wholesome diet and hence, avoid sugar and alcohol.

Regular physical activity, including strength training, cardiovascular activities, and yoga breathing sessions from “The School of Breath”, is an integral part of my routine. But it's not just about physical health - mental well-being is equally important. Hence, stress management through meditation and deep breathing exercises form a crucial part of my daily routine. To go deeper into the breathing practices I recommend please watch my video on Ancient breathing techniques for a longer and healthier life.

My day is filled with small yet effective changes like taking the stairs instead of the elevator, and maintaining a brisk walking pace. These minor modifications in daily life contribute massively towards overall well-being and longevity.
