Aging is a concern for lots of us. Sure, many
people (namely celebrities), go under the knife, and undergo some type of
cosmetic procedure; but, this is not the only solution out there. In fact,
there are many things you can do, which do not require spending thousands of
dollars, to avoid aging.
There are several simple things you can do, when
searching for the best ways to fight aging. In fact, most of them are things
you can start doing at a young age, which will help keep you looking young,
help keep you feeling young, and help you avoid the common signs of aging, most
people want to avoid. Regardless of how old you are, it is never too early to
start with some of these techniques, when you are trying to avoid aging.
1. Wear sunscreen -
Believe it or not, the sun causes major damage to
your skin; and, for most people, sunscreen is just a way to protect your skin
from cancer. But, this is not the case. Too much exposure to the sun can cause
wrinkles, sun spots, dryness, and uneven skin tones; if you are outside more
than 10 to 15 minutes a day, sunscreen can help. Using something that is SPF 15
or stronger, is best for your skin. In addition to helping fight aging,
sunscreen is also going to help with even tan lines, and avoid that tomato red
skin shade.
2. Eat well -
Seems simple enough, right? But, for most of us,
our days are hectic. When we can’t make lunch, we stop at the fast food
restaurant. If we have a busy day at work, we might pick up dinner on the way
home. These things are not only unhealthy, but a poor diet, and lack of
balanced nutrition, will lead to early signs of aging.
Five servings of fruits
and veggies each day, getting in the required vitamin sources each day, and 8
glasses of water each day, will surely help keep your body looking younger, and
will help you feel younger as well. You should try to limit fat consumption to
35% of daily calories, and try to get in at least 15% of calories from rich
protein sources. Doing this will help fight aging, but will also help fight
different illnesses and ailments which are common in individuals who have a
poor diet, such as diabetes.
3. Sesame oil -
Massaging sesame oil in to the face, arms, and
areas of the body where wrinkles are common, can help fight the signs of aging
as well. The oils not only help get your blood pumping and flowing, but will
also help with hydrating the skin. Many people are not aware of how dehydrated
their skin is; this in turn results in a much older appearance. The oil also
helps to naturally cleanse away dead skin cells, so this will help with the
ashy appearance, and will help provide a balanced, all natural skin tone, which
looks healthier, and is healthier.
4. Hydration -
Drinking 8 glasses of water a day is not only
recommended to help your systems, and internal organs function, but is also a
way to fight the signs of aging. Water is required for nearly every body
function, this includes perspiration, which removes the harmful toxins from our
system. Drinking sufficient amounts of water will also help provide that plump
appearance, moisture, and soft supple skin that you strive for, without having
to purchase the $200 cream at the health and beauty shop. When you are
dehydrated, fine lines and wrinkles are more pronounced, and are far more
visible; when your skin is hydrated, not only does the appearance of your skin
look better, but it also helps to reduce these lines, wrinkles, and signs of
aging, which are bound to take place as we age.
5. Exercise -
Although you might hate doing it every morning,
exercise helps to release toxins from the body, helps to reduce stress levels,
and helps to balance your mind; all of these things will result in a younger
looking appearance, and will result in a healthier looking body. Regular
aerobic exercises greatly reduces the signs of aging; studies also show that
exercise helps balance bone density, stamina levels, and muscle development as
we age. Individuals who exercise more often, appear younger, and those who
exercise for a majority of their lives, will not only fight the signs of aging,
but will also feel much better, healthier, and tend to lead longer, and happier
lives as well.
6. Fish oil -
Not only does it help you get in your omega 3
fatty acids for the day, but these anti-inflammatory products are the best
anti-aging products available to you on the market today. They help improve
heart health, they help with hair growth, skin hydration, and other beneficial
functions to the human body.
7. Increase antioxidant intake -
Dozens of studies have shown that the release of
free radicals (which is one of the consequences of exercise), can be slowed
down, when you increase antioxidant consumption. Antioxidants help to
neutralize free radicals, and this in turn helps fight the signs of aging which
are all too often associated with free radicals. Diet and supplementation
should be taken, in order to help you get the sufficient intake of antioxidants
on a daily basis. Including berries as a part of the diet, is also a simple
(and tasty) way, to ensure you are getting sufficient antioxidant levels in
your system on a regular basis.
8. Cut back on alcohol intake -
Alcohol dehydrates the skin and it also depletes
the essential vitamin levels, and essential minerals which are found in your
system. This does not mean you can’t drink, it simply means when you do drink,
try to do so sparingly, and drink a couple of glasses of water for each
alcoholic drink you take in. This will help limit the consumption of alcohol,
and will also help avoid the nasty hangover that you tend to experience, after
a long night out.
