Aging comes down to a breakdown in your bodies energy systems. Over time, bad habits or health issues can create a domino effect that adds years onto your skin. When they say you can’t reverse aging, it has some truth. You certainly can’t stop the clock from ticking but you can reverse some of those side effects and start looking youthful again.
Here’s 8 great tips to help you with the anti-aging process.
8. Calcium is your friendBones keep us standing straight. Women lose bone density after menopause which can lead to weakened bones, fractures, breaks, hip replacements and osteoporosis. Don’t believe the hype and don’t expect to get your calcium from dairy, it just isn’t possible to truly get what we need. Take charge as soon as you can with pure calcium supplements to keep your bones strong and healthy. Moderation is the key with alcohol, avoid smoking all together, and increase your exercise to help keep your bones strong and healthy. Good posture is a sign of aging well.7. Avoid direct sunUV rays can damage and age your skin, leaving it dry, patchy, discolored or freckled. These can leave you looking older with loose and wrinkled skin. Sun ages your skin while you need the Vitamin D it provides, direct sunlight for long periods of time, should be avoided to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Remember to pack that wide brim hat for vacations and hiking trips!Even in your car, you’re exposed through the window’s and commonly whichever area of skin is exposed to the sun more frequently, you will see greater signs of damage. A good sunscreen lotion is a great idea, even when driving. A good sunscreen is easier than ever today with drinkable, loose powder brush on’s as well as the classic topical lotion formulas.6. Minimize StressStress kills! It can wreak havoc on your body and your internal organs and systems. Over 85% of disease is caused by stress and this takes a toll on your body. Find ways to reduce or alleviate it. Meditation, exercise, getting enough sleep, taking epsom salt baths, lighting candles, playing soothing music and use essential oils in the house are all great ways to help reduce the aging stress toxins. And don’t forget to breathe!! We typically hold our breath when we stress. Take 3 connected conscious breaths, it changes everything!5. Be HappyHappiness is a choice. When you’re feeling down, your body reacts. Your brain sends signals to your body that inhibit the flow of natural hormones in your body like endorphins and serotonin. Lift your spirits and find powerful, motivating, and uplifting ways to get your groove back. Listen to music, read a great book, exercise, take a walk, have a spa day, get a facial, or go out with friends. Do what makes you happy and gets your system’s positive energy flow moving again. A happier you, is a healthier you.4. FoodsWhat you eat has plenty to do with the way you age, how you feel, look and behave. Having a diet rich in healthy foods and water can keep you looking healthy and feeling young. That said, eating foods as close to their natural start as possible (whole foods!) creates healthy skin. Adding more fresh greens and colorful veggies like spinach, kale, or peppers, fresh fruit like watermelon or mangoes, and foods like quinoa or sweet potatoes keep you healthy on the inside and out.Eat organic whenever possible to reduce the toxins of pesticide and added hormones from your food intake and keep your digestive system strong. Don’t overcook – rather, steam your veggies whenever possible to keep nutrients intact.Avoid processed foods as much as you can including crackers, boxed cereals, most bars white flour and sugar which is the absolute worst thing for us!! Food is meant to provide nourishment and energy, so be sure to eat healthy, real food that is alive to defy the aging process.3. SupplementsOmega 3 DHA helps improve your brain power. When we don’t get enough through diet, supplementing is always a good idea. Omega 3 DHA is known to help reduce or slow the process of dementia and alzheimer’s. Getting it in your daily diet and supplements early in your life, can help prevent memory loss that comes with age.If you don’t use it, you loose it! Keep it working, do puzzles, take a dance class, learn something new, stay socially active or whatever you can to stay mentally sharp. A sharp mind is a young mind.2.
