It is an interesting commentary on our society that we live in a world in which getting older is only natural and is inevitable, yet the market is saturated with products that claim to give us a younger, more youthful appearance. If your goal is to age gracefully, then read on!
Keep your fruit intake high. Fruits are a great source of antioxidants, which help inhibit the growing older process of our cells. They are also a great source of other vitamins that provide a host of benefits to our getting older bodies. Use fruit as your desert instead of sugar filled treats as an easy way of getting them in your diet.
Whiten your teeth to take some serious years off of your age. Years of drinking coffee and wine and smoking can do a serious number of the appearance of our teeth. Shave off some years by having your teeth professionally whitened. The difference it makes will astound you.
In order to look young and slow down the aging process, it is necessary that you eat good amounts of fruits, daily. Like vegetables, fruits contain antioxidants that help your body with hydration. Another thing that fruits have is vitamin C, which helps you to maintain very radiant looking skin.
Eating small amounts of food more often during the day instead of big, heavy meals all at once, will work wonders for your entire system, and help you to control weight gain as you age! Your ability to absorb nutrients is greatly aided by frequent, small portions of food and can also cut down on your heartburn. So plan these mini-meals out in advance and stick to the program. Your body will thank you for it!
Try to spread cheer wherever you go. Taking that sunny disposition and spreading it around makes the world a better place and makes you feel better as well. Happiness is free and you can make as much as you want, so it is a truly meaningful gift.
Our hectic times tend to push us into pointless, repetitive activity. Resist this. Take control of this precious time given you in old age. Read a deeply meaningful book. Reach out to someone in need, someone you wouldn't have met during your working life, and give each other the gift of appreciation and understanding.
Just because you are aging doesn't mean you should just sit back and take it easy. To maintain good health, you need to continue to be as active as you possibly can. Sure, you may not be able to go out and race in a marathon, but you still can incorporate some activity into you daily activities. It is suggested that you include at least 30 minutes of physical activity each day. Maybe you could take a 15-minute walk twice a day. Dust off that old bike and take a ride around the neighborhood.
If you want to have the feeling of being forever young, then you will want to maintain a healthy lifestyle and laugh. Laughing reduces stress and stress is not good for anyone, whether they are young or old. Laughter also helps circulation, lowers blood pressure, reduces negativity, improves respiration and encourages digestion. These are all good things, when living a healthy lifestyle, so laugh and laugh often!
To slow down the growing older process, exercise is extremely important. By exercising several times a week, you will help your body keep its muscle strength, stamina, balance and bone density. It is important to include cardio routines as well as strength training sessions, in order to keep the aging process from going too fast.
One of the best ways to increase happiness and decrease stress is to enjoy the company of good friends! Especially as we age, good friendships can go a long way in improving moods and mental health and have even been shown to increase longevity! Get out often or invite friends over frequently to brighten not only your day but your prospects for health as well!
Are you caring for an aged family member who has Alzheimer's disease? If so, it can sometimes be a stressful undertaking. You need to remember to carve a bit of time from your caregiver role to devote to some personal time for yourself. Make an appointment every day to meet a friend or spouse for a meal or a cup of coffee. Give yourself permission to ask others to take over your duties as caregiver while you take a break. You can also check out services offered by reputable adult day care programs.
As a body ages bone loss is a great risk. It is a greater risk for women going through menopause. Eat lots of dark leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, molasses and tofu. Adding seaweed to your diet is great, as seaweeds contain a lot of calcium and magnesium.
To summarize, you know that you cannot escape certain facts about getting old. However, as long as you follow good advice and look after yourself (and it's never too late to start)you can make the most out of your older years and enjoy them as much or more than you ever anticipated. Hopefully this will bring you much joy.
