Born 60 years ago in La Plata, lawyer and journalist, Alejandra Marisa Rodríguez one of his dreams came true: he was crowned Miss Universe Buenos Aires, beating 34 other participants of all ages. The women ranged in age from 18 to 73 years old, after the event organization eliminated the age limits in 2024. Today, applicants can compete from 18 years of age and older.
Soon, he will compete at the national level in Miss Universe Argentina 2024 in the final on May 25 in the City of Buenos Aires.
“People don’t believe my age.”, assured Rodríguez. Regarding her beauty and longevity routine, she explained: “I think the basic thing is to have a healthy lifestyle, eat well, do physical activity, normal care; nothing too extraordinary, and a bit of genetics”as he said in statements to The thirteen.
“In general I try to do intermittent fasting, which is spending a period of time without eating food, I think that helps a lot. I try to eat organic food, without pesticidesthese types of issues,” he described about his eating habits.
Furthermore, he stated in an interview with the newspaper The latest news from Chile who eats fruits, vegetables, and meat. “I was vegetarian for a long time and now I am incorporating a little meat, I find it wise not to go to extremes.”
As you might expect, an important part of your routine is physical activity: “At least three times a week he goes for a walk and a jog. “I really like physical activity, nature, the sea,” she added.
To these healthy habits, the brand new Miss Universe Buenos Aires adds other care such as “vitamin supplements, good cosmetics, good creamsthere too radio frequency on the skin”.
“Until now, luckily, I have not resorted to any surgery. My body is zero kilometer, I never did anything, only physical activity,” he assured La Tercera.
- Do intermittent fasting. Research shows that intermittent fasting can reduce the risk of diabetes, heart disease and dementia, many of the pillars of aging.
The doctor David Sinclair, professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School and author of the book “Extend Your Life Expectancy. “How science helps us control and reverse the aging process,” he explained in a recent note in Infobae that he ‘scarcity mode’ It is a crucial aspect of anti-aging treatment, since modern life offers us a ‘abundance mode’ that makes the body sick. Through the fastthe elimination of ultra-processed foods from the diet and the exercise physical as our main allies, we will observe how certain deprivations activate the defenses against aging”.
Thus, Sinclair skips breakfast and does intermittent fasts of between 16 and 18 hours between his large meals – dinner and lunch. He also takes resverastrol. It is a polyphenol or natural antioxidant commonly found in berries, grapes, peanuts, and red wine. The expert consumes it in supplement form every morning.
Coincidentally, the doctor Valter LongoItalian biologist and professor, director of the Longevity Institute at the University of Southern California and author of “The Longevity Diet,” fasts for 12 hours and maintains a diet high in veganism and fish.
His method is based on an intake reduced carbohydrates and proteins, emphasizing fatty acids. Their website explains that their special diet mimics the fast, keeping the body in a state similar to meal time restriction. This activates a set of defensive responses, a result of evolution, thus optimizing the functioning of the organism, promoting cellular regeneration and favoring adaptation to adverse conditions.
- Do exercise. In a note with Infobae, Longo recommended “practicing 150 minutes of physical activity a week, 15 minutes should be more strenuous. Plus 1 hour a day of walking. “You have to choose something that you enjoy and that you can do all year round, like biking, skiing or running.”
Researchers have found that certain exercises can even make our cells look biologically younger. Common age-related illnesses such as pneumonia, stroke, diabetes complications and serious urinary tract infections could be prevented by simply increasing moderate physical activity, a recent study by UK researchers revealed.
Scientists found that among almost 82,000 British adults, those who exercised regularly were less likely to be hospitalized for various health conditions in the coming years.
- Give up smoking. Tobacco consumption kills about 8 million people in the world every year, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Likewise, more than half of people who smoke die from their effects and live on average 10 to 15 years less than non-smokers. Tobacco is harmful in all its forms and there is no safe level of exposure to tobacco.
- Sleep properly, which means at least 7 hours a night for adults, plays an essential role in biological and mental repair. Despite its importance, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that about 40% of the global population does not achieve quality sleep.
In addition, the lack of restorative rest or alterations produced during sleep “can trigger or exacerbate underlying diseases,” the doctor warned in Infobae. Daniel Perez Chadapresident of the Argentine Sleep Foundation and director of the Sleep Clinic of the Austral University Hospital.
- Manage stress levels. Improper management of the stresses of daily life accelerates aging, according to a Harvard University study on external factors that trigger increased biological age.
- Avoid drinking alcohol. According to the World Health Organization, excessive alcohol consumption can cause more than 200 diseases over time. It is not about abstaining completely, but about avoiding excesses.
- Maintain positive social relationships. The longest research in history on happiness, carried out by Harvard experts, identified that maintaining healthy, positive relationships is the key element to a healthy, long and happy life.
