Aging ... one stage of natural life cycle that we all go through. It is indeed one stage, though, that we all dread going through. So how about I tell you that you can age without any fear now. How so? Well because today I will give you tips to age ... gracefully.
- Drink WATER! – as much as possible, as pure as possible. On an average, the normal amount of water for a young adult to drink is about eight 8-ounce glasses per day
- Increase the consumption of anti-oxidants in your diet; foods like: blueberries, raspberries, sprouts, raw nuts are very rich in anti-oxidants
- Add MSM in your diet. MSM is an organosulfur compound, which not only heals skin problems but also helps in reducing wrinkles and gives your skin a much younger look. Raw vegetables usually contain MSM: broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower are some of the best raw vegetables to include in you diet
- Never forget your Vitamins. Multivitamins are very essential to include in daily diet. Based on your daily needs, consult your doctor for more information on vitamin intake
- Limit caffeine and alcohol consumption. Alcohol and caffeine are diuretic and in excess consumption they may cause dehydration; which will result in drying your skin and hence in aging soon.
- Meditate. Meditate does not mean sitting in a lotus position and try to levitate yourself for half an hour. What meditate truly means is: relaxing, breathing, feeling positive, being happy and content in doing what you are doing. Meditation calms you down, reduces stress, improves your skin, and ... no price for guessing - makes you look younger
- Exercise. Now again exercising does not necessarily mean going to gym and working out for an hour every day but it means to keep your muscles and body toned.
