Aging is a
simple and natural fact of living. There are certainly ways to slow down the
effects of aging, that can keep your face and body looking younger than they
really are. See the tips below to look and feel younger, and will fool people
as to your true age.
Go for regular preventive health
Check-ups
with your local physician. As you get older, your body is more susceptible to
disease and injury. By having regular check-ups, you could detect and treat
small health problems before they turn into bigger problems. It is also
recommended that you attend dental and eyes check-ups as well.
Keep your friendships alive
And the aging
process will be one of enjoyment. By working at these friendships, you are
providing yourself with fuel, which gives you energy and provides you with
love. Remember, that you are never too old to begin new friendships. Your new
friend could be sitting at the next table to you in the coffee shop.
Depression is a "hidden"
risk
For
developing osteoporosis. Cortisol is a stress-related hormone related to
depression that depletes the bones of minerals. Studies have shown that women
with depression have lower bone density in their spines and hips. So, if you're
feeling down, see your doctor to find out if you have depression.
Do protect your skin against wrinkles
And cancer by
wearing proper sunblock but don't over do it to the extent that you deprive
yourself of much needed vitamin D! As much harm as too much sun can do, too
little of it can also hurt you so find a suitable SPF that will prevent damage
without completely prohibiting your intake of highly beneficial sunlight!
There are 19 foods
That are
considered to be must have items in your refrigerator and pantry, and they will
work wonders for your health and vitality as you age. Write these down and post
it somewhere in your home to keep yourself reminded to stay stocked: seafood,
dairy, spinach, nuts, olive oil, broccoli, oatmeal, flax seed meal, avocados,
pomegranate juice, tomatoes, tofu, yogurt, red onions, garlic, beans and
lentils! It may seem like a lot but it is the least you can do for yourself and
the best results you can yield from your meal planning efforts!
You will have less of a chance
To get a
heart disease if you eat less red meat and more fish. Some of the ingredients
of red meat can clog your arteries, leading to heart conditions. Fish, on the
other hand, has the opposite effect, so eat more fish to live a long and
healthy life.
Analyze your finances
Do you have
enough to live on for the rest of your life? Do you have to make some changes
in order to live your older life happily? Check out the state of your personal
finances and prepare yourself so that you can live as comfortably as possible.
In order to look and feel young
Doing some
strength training every other day is a key. People who have toned, strong
muscles always look younger than their years. Not much is necessary in order to
see the benefits of strength training, just twenty minutes every other day can
lead to a toned and more youthful appearance.
As you get older
Fortify your
diet with more healthy foods like fish, vegetables and fruits. As you age, your
body becomes more sensitive to artificial ingredients that are found in
processed foods. Keeping your diet full of healthier alternatives will save
your body from the adverse effects of the artificial fillers.
Look at your aging as an opportunity
To re-engage
in a favorite activity. Now you have time for things you enjoyed when you were
younger; often, these activities get set aside as work and family become
priorities. Hobbies are a great way to connect with others and do something
outside the home.
Most people lose some degree
Of their
hearing as they grow older. This may not present a problem for you yet.
However, it is important to know how sharp your hearing is because it greatly
affects your quality of life. If you find yourself missing what others say,
asking them to repeat themselves, or turning up the radio or TV, you may be at
risk for hearing loss and should have it checked immediately.
As with so many areas of life
The secrets
of staying young, and aging well, have to do with taking care of yourself. Eat
right, drink plenty of water, get 8 hours of sleep each night and maintain a
healthy social life. All of these things have been shown to reduce the
appearance of aging, as well as keeping you healthier and happier.
Go easy on alcohol
Moderate
drinking has been claimed to lower the risk of heart problems and other
ailments. For older people, "moderate" means one drink for men and
half a drink for women a day. A "drink" is defined as either 12
ounces of beer, 6 ounces of wine, or 1 ounce of hard liquor. To avoid drug
interactions, ask your doctor if any alcohol is safe.
Many centurions have agreed
That the
secret to a long life lies in keeping your brain active. Studies have shown
that memory loss is not inevitable when getting older. Older people might not
be able to remember certain kinds of things, but they can boost their memory by
keeping their brains active working on puzzles, paying attention to what they
want to remember, and keeping the general health of the brain in check.
Enjoy the time you get after
retirement!
Engage in
activities you enjoy with the people you love and you'll find your heart is
stronger and your mind is clearer. Being happy goes along with being healthy
and the more you do to keep your spirits high, the slower the aging process
will become.
