10 ways you can stay younger longer
For the past 15 years, I have maintained a healthy diet and kept up with a regular exercise regimen ... all to stay in great shape and to be able to live as long as I could. Recently though, my focus has changed. Now, not only do I want to live longer, but I also want to stay younger (or at least look it) for as long as I can. Since I've been starting to show signs of aging, like fine lines and wrinkles, it's probably a good time to start doing what I can. Here are 10 Ways to Beat Aging that I found from Quick & Simple:
- Nourish Yourself: Eat a well-balanced low-fat, high-fiber diet that's rich in fruits and veggies.
- Limit Alcohol: Alcohol can leave skin dry and lead to broken capillaries and a ruddy complexion.
- Maintain a Healthy Weight: Being overweight or underweight can take years of your life.
- Get Moving: It's unanimous among experts: Exercise keeps us around longer.
- Stop Smoking: People who smoke are biologically older than non-smokers.
- Guard Against the Sun: Sun damage can lead to leathery, wrinkly skin, blotchy pigmentation and some skin cancer.
- Dump Stress: Stress affects the immune, nervous and digestive systems and can definitely show on your face in the form of contracting muscles.
- Keep Your Brain Busy: Studies indicate that flexing your mind and keeping yourself mentally stimulated can help ward off Alzheimer's disease.
- Stay Social: Loners don't age well. A strong network of friends significantly increases ones life span.
- Don't Skimp on Sleep: During sleep, the body releases the most growth hormones, which aid in cell repair.
