You can stave off the damage nature does to your body, both inside and out, by starting an anti-ageing regime today.
“Apply sunscreen every day”
Dr Huma Jaffar, consultant, Division of Dermatology, National University Hospital
“Fight ageing: Be smart with your day and night skin regimes! For example, regularly applying sunscreen during the day (to minimise harmful sunray damage) and a vitamin A -based cream at night (to build up skin collagen) can make a tremendous difference!
“Around 90 per cent of the signs we normally attribute to ageing skin, like brown pigmentation and wrinkling, are related to UV damage from the sun. Protection is key.”
“I walk my dog”
Dr Sonia Davidson, endocrinologist
“I go on a 30-minute brisk walk every day with my ‘personal trainer’, Sputnik. He’s a rescue dog our family adopted from a shelter about three years ago and he’s an extremely enthusiastic walker.
“My daily walk with Sputnik provides excellent exercise, allows me to maintain my weight and is a great form of stress release. I hope that keeping fit will help the ageing process and provide protection against the development of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.”
“I exercise my brain”
Dr Alex Knopman, clinical neuropsychologist
