Slow aging
Slow aging is a Korean term for aging gradually and staying healthy through everyday diet and lifestyle choices, rather than waiting until later in life to make changes.
The idea is to slow the pace of aging by adjusting habits like meals and skincare early, instead of responding only after signs of aging show up. In Korea, food and beauty companies have been marketing products around this idea, and outlets have put out recipes and skincare guides built on it. One thing to know: slow aging is a lifestyle concept, not a medical claim, so it helps to read specific product claims carefully.
