3 Ways Massage Therapy helps in Retaining Youth
Healthy choices that nourish the body and mind are vital to living a youthful life.
Massage Therapy is one such choice, and due to its anti-ageing benefits, it has become a significant part of many people’s lives. Although it is commonly perceived as a means to relax and decompress, it plays a vital role in maintaining youth.
Following are three ways a Massage can help in reducing the effects of ageing:
-
Massage Therapy Increases Blood Circulation
A regulated circulatory system is essential for overall health, including proper blood flow and circulation of lymph fluid. It ensures the delivery of adequate oxygen and vital nutrients such as proteins, vitamins and minerals to all the tissues in our body, dispels harmful toxins, and counteracts any fluid build-up. Regular massages encourage blood flow and stimulate the lymphatic system, thereby keeping the circulatory system in check resulting in healthy organs, muscles, joints and skin.
-
Massage Therapy Reduces Stress
Stress is the most common contributing factor to nearly every ailment in our body. Other than poor sleep, the body experiences elevated cortisol, emotional drainage, food cravings and unhealthy food choices, to name a few. Such adverse effects of stress lead to premature ageing, sometimes manifesting as stress lines on the forehead. A specialised Massage for Stress helps combat these effects by actively reducing cortisol and increasing serotonin to lift your mood, lower your anxiety levels and restore the suppressed vim and vigour in your body and mind.

Massage Therapy Induces Better Sleep
Getting regular and adequate sleep is an uphill struggle for many of us. And research shows that sleep deprivation directly contributes to accelerated and premature skin ageing, making you look tired and aged. Conversely, a massage can induce better sleep for its inherently relaxing effects. And after any kind of bodywork, natural and healthy fatigue is created by our body to process the changes in the targeted areas of treatment. So if done a couple of hours before bedtime, the calming effect and healthy fatigue can give you that much-needed shut-eye in no time.
