Premature Ageing: From Screen Time To Prolonged Sitting - 7 Daily Habits That Are Making You Age Faster

In today’s world, adopting a healthy lifestyle has become more than just a choice, it’s a trend. People are cutting down on alcohol, avoiding junk food, and making conscious efforts to stay fit. Yet, despite these positive changes, there’s an overlooked reality: some of our daily habits may still be accelerating ageing from within. Ageing isn’t only about visible signs like wrinkles or grey hair. It also unfolds deep inside the body, at a cellular level. Over time, certain patterns in our routine can silently contribute to this process. Here’s a closer look at habits that may be doing more harm than we realise. ALSO READ: Skip Trendy Diets: 5 Easy Daily Habits That Support Healthy And Lasting Weight Loss Ignoring Strength Training As we age, muscle mass naturally declines. However, skipping strength training can speed up this process significantly. Without regular exercise, especially resistance training, the body may begin to feel weaker and less energetic. Over time, this can impact mobility, stamina, and overall vitality. Spending Too Much Time Sitting A sedentary lifestyle is one of the most concerning habits today. Sitting for long hours, especially without any physical activity, can slow down metabolism. According to the reasearches and surveys, people who sit for more than eight hours a day without exercise may face a mortality risk comparable to obesity or smoking. Prolonged sitting is also linked to faster shortening of telomeres, the protective caps on DNA, which is associated with accelerated ageing. Engaging in 60–75 minutes of physical activity daily can help reduce this risk. Too Much Sugar And Processed Food Diet plays a critical role in how the body ages. High intake of sugar and processed foods can trigger a process called glycation. This affects the skin’s elasticity, making it more prone to sagging and wrinkles over time. While occasional indulgence is normal, regular consumption can quietly accelerate ageing. Lack Of Sleep Cutting down on sleep might seem harmless, but it can have long-term consequences. If you think five hours of sleep is enough, your body may disagree. According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, sleep needs vary with age, and ignoring them can lead to health issues over time. During sleep, the body repairs itself, balances hormones, and restores energy. Consistently missing out on proper rest can affect skin health, weaken immunity, and even impact memory. Excessive Screen Time In an increasingly digital world, screen time has become unavoidable. However, excessive use of phones and laptops, especially late at night, can disrupt sleep cycles. Blue light exposure may also affect the skin. Over time, this habit can contribute to faster ageing, both internally and externally. Not Drinking Enough Water Hydration is often underestimated. When the body doesn’t get enough water, the skin can appear dull and lifeless. Dehydration also slows down essential bodily functions. Water plays a key role in detoxification and helps maintain overall balance within the body. Neglecting Social Connections Human connection is just as important as physical health. Research suggests that loneliness and social isolation may increase the risk of premature death. Ignoring relationships and staying disconnected can impact emotional well-being, which in turn affects overall health.

Ekadant Sankashti Chaturthi 2026 To Be Observed On May 5: Check Puja Muhurat, Vidhi, Significance And More

Ekadant Sankashti Chaturthi, observed during the Krishna Paksha of the Jyeshtha month, will be celebrated on May 5, 2026. Lord Ekadant is considered one of the Ashtavinayak forms of Lord Ganesh. The term ‘Ekadant’ literally means 'the one with a single tusk,' symbolising a unique and powerful form of the deity. According to mythological beliefs, once Lord Parashurama came to meet Lord Shiva, but Lord Ganesh stopped him from entering. Angered by this, Parashurama attacked Ganesh with his axe, which resulted in one of Ganesh’s tusks breaking. Since then, he became known as Ekadant.

Since the day falls on a Tuesday, it is also known as Angarki Sankashti Chaturthi. According to astrology, worshipping Lord Ganesh on this day can help reduce the negative effects of Mars (Mangal) in one’s horoscope. Angarki Chaturthi is believed to offer significantly greater spiritual benefits compared to other Sankashti Chaturthi observances. Moonrise Timing The moon will rise at 10:35 PM on May 5, 2026. Devotees observe the fast throughout the day and break it only after offering arghya (water offering) to the moon following evening prayers. Puja Rituals To Follow Light a ghee lamp in front of Lord Ganesh for the well-being and long life of children. Recite the Santaan Ganpati Stotram to remove obstacles and seek blessings. Offer durva grass, sindoor, and aak flowers to Lord Ganesh. Prepare and offer modak as bhog. Donate food, water, and money to the needy as an act of charity. Story Behind Ekadant Form Of Lord Ganesh As per the Mudgala Purana, Lord Ganesh took the Ekadant form to protect the gods from the demon Madasura, who was creating chaos. Terrified by this form, the demon eventually surrendered and retreated to the netherworld (Patal Lok), restoring peace. Benefits Of Observing The Fast Observing the Ekadant Sankashti Chaturthi fast is believed to: Remove obstacles, illnesses, debts, and mental stress Enhance wisdom, wealth, and overall prosperity Bring success in tasks and fulfil desires [Disclaimer: The content of this article is based solely on beliefs, and should be taken as general guidance.

Trump Says He’ll Review Iran’s New Proposal, Warns Of Renewed US Strikes If Tehran 'Misbehaves'

US President Donald Trump on Saturday said he is reviewing a fresh proposal from Iran aimed at ending the ongoing conflict, while expressing doubt over its acceptability and cautioning that military options remain on the table as the West Asia crisis continues to deepen. In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote: “I will soon be reviewing the plan that Iran has just sent to us, but can’t imagine that it would be acceptable in that they have not yet paid a big enough price for what they have done to Humanity, and the World, over the last 47 years.”  The remarks came shortly after Trump spoke to reporters while boarding Air Force One in Florida, where he reiterated uncertainty about the possibility of a deal. “I’ll let you know about it later,” he said, adding that “they’re going to give me the exact wording now.” ALSO READ: Iran-US War May Resume, Senior Iranian Military Officer Warns After Trump Rejects Proposal Trump Hints Possibility Of Renewed US Strikes Trump indicated that the United States could resume military action if Tehran’s conduct escalates. Speaking earlier in West Palm Beach, he said, “If they misbehave, if they do something bad — but right now, we’ll see. It’s a possibility that could happen, certainly.” His comments come amid heightened concerns of renewed conflict following stalled diplomatic engagement over Iran’s nuclear programme and tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened a meeting of Israel’s security cabinet, signalling regional apprehension over a potential escalation. Stalled Negotiations Over Nuclear Programme Trump had earlier voiced dissatisfaction with an initial Iranian offer during ongoing negotiations.  “They want to make a deal, I’m not satisfied with it, so we’ll see what happens,” he told reporters at the White House. He further claimed that Tehran is eager to reach an agreement but lacks cohesion in its negotiating position, which was pushing the deal further. “They’re asking for things that I can’t agree to,” Trump said. ALSO READ: Iran: Jailed Nobel Winner Narges Mohammadi Hospitalised Iran, for its part, has insisted that Washington lift restrictions affecting the Strait of Hormuz before substantive talks on nuclear issues can proceed. The US had previously moved to block Iranian vessels after Tehran restricted international access to the key maritime route. Iranian officials have signalled the possibility of renewed hostilities. Islamic Revolutionary Guard officer Mohammad Jafar Asadi said, “Renewed conflict between Iran and the United States is likely.” The warning followed Trump’s suggestion that the United States might consider abandoning negotiations altogether. Despite expressing reluctance to escalate militarily, Trump underscored the stark choices facing Washington. “There are the options: Do you want to go blast the hell out of ’em and finish them forever, or do we want to try and make a deal? I mean, those are the options,” he told reporters. As diplomatic efforts continue, the situation remains uncertain, with the possibility for either a settlement or renewed confrontation between the US and Iran.
