How To Slow Down the Aging Process Starting This Year
There are so many little things that you can do to slow down the aging process. With our lifestyle, we are probably doing the exact opposite. Implement some of these changes into your daily life and see the clock slow down.Difficulty: N/A
Time Required: N/A
Here's How:
1. Eliminate unnecessary sugars from your diet. Empty calories lead to excess weight. And that means less energy.
2. Wipe out as many of the stress causing things in your life as possible. Research is already pointing to stress as a cause for wrinkles, not to mention a host of other ailments.
3. Use an adequate amount of sunblock. Apparently most people don't use nearly enough. And, it is just as important to use it in the winter as in the summer.
4. Get a good night's sleep. It is more important you can could ever imagine. The body's maintenance is taking place as you dream good dreams. (See tip 1)
5. Join a gym. It is the easiest way to exercise. You meet people, get to play on equipment you don't have at home, and feel good the rest of the day.
6. Feeling down in the dumps? Researchers have found that the scent of cinnamon buns does an amazing job of lifting the spirits. Works for me!
7. Do something you enjoy. For me, it's stretching out in the den on a lazyboy, listening to Enya and closing my eyes for 10 minutes.
8. Increase your fruits and veggies to between 5 and 7 servings a day. Not only can they reduce your chances of getting some forms of cancer, they are easy on the waistline.
9. Learn to laugh. Every morning my family reads the comics. It's as simple as that!
10. Learn to do nothing or at least learn to sit quietly and do nothing but observe. It is actually quite healthy.
Tips:
- Never go to bed hungry. You aren't doing yourself any favors. Have a light snack about an hour before bedtime.
