Coconut is one of the wonder foods Mother Nature has provided. Everything about coconut is valuable- its meat, juice, milk, oil, husk, shell and leaves have multifarious purpose and provide many health benefits beyond its nutritional and medicinal properties. Nearly one third of the world’s population depend on coconut to some degree for their food and their economy. Among these cultures, the coconut has a long and respected history. Coconut is rich in fibre, vitamins, and minerals. Let’s check out the benefits of coconut water and coconut oil in ageing beautifully.

Skin Regulation
Coconut water contains cytokinins, which regulates ageing of the skin. Regular application of it with lime juice on the skin enhances the elasticity of the skin and prevents it from sagging.

Skin Moisturiser
Mix coconut water with your body soap or body lotion to keep your skin glowing throughout the day.

Skin Whitening
Sun tan can be rid off with coconut water. Apply a face pack which consists of bentonite (natural clay), sandalwood, holy basil and calamine powder with coconut water on the affected area and scrub it. This leaves the dry skin rejuvenated. For greater results, apply it daily.

Scar Removal
Use coconut water to wash scars everyday and let it dry on your skin. Repeat this method four times a day (for quicker results) and then rinse with cold water. This can even cure acne scars.

Finally a magazine for Senior Citizens has come to the newsstand for the public to read. There are many reading materials published for children, teenagers, men and women and now, it is time to publish one for our golden people.

Although this magazine is meant for the Senior Citizens, the articles contributed are for the benefit of all. All are welcomed to write, contribute, participate and comment. This is the inaugural issue and is packed with a lot of information, activities, events, health tips, interviews and biographies. Wisdom comes with age.

Likewise, senior citizens’ expertise, knowledge and advice are valuable assets to the younger generation. Aging is not only a seniority of calendar years but also an accumulation of wisdom. As we progress technologically, the humanitarian aspect of helping people should not be forgotten.

Progression of arts and science is the acquisition and execution of knowledge and progression of age is the combination of perseverance, righteousness and sense control which produces wisdom. Age is not confined to numbers; aging is a biological process not a psychological one. So long as your psyche is strong, you do not age.
