Defy Age — For You Are As Young As You Feel
Anita Peter teaches Mohiniyattam in Hyderabad to wonderful women for whom 60 is just a number. Wang Deshun (80) conquered the runway at China Fashion Week and became a fitness ambassador. At a recent marathon in Hyderabad, many participants were 60+, brisk-walking their way through the route and winning medals. Our marketing team reports a steady increase in customers who are 80+. Age is not a barrier — it’s a number.
Learning Is Always ‘In’
The upper age limit for learning is only applicable at some places. Today, there are so many new avenues — Udemy, hobby centres, online courses. When you are feeling blue, try to learn something new. Today’s skill can become tomorrow’s lifesaver.

Nothing ages us faster than our minds, and nothing compares to Dhyana (meditation) for mind-control. Lack of time is not an excuse — forget the snooze and make Dhyana a daily habit. It helps tune out noise and negativity.
Travel
A recent study of terminally ill patients showed that one of the biggest regrets people had was not travelling. It need not be an expensive destination — a short trip to a nearby town, a beach, or a forest shelter offering ecotourism is the best route to feel younger. Our grandparents braved treacherous roads to Kedarnath. Connect with nature.

Sleep Well
Sleep debt and irregular sleep hours contribute to more than dark circles and wrinkles. Obesity, heart disease, and several other conditions have been linked to fewer sleep hours. Fitness experts and doctors recommend regular eight hours of sleep to revitalise your life.
