Tips to slow down Aging

Tips to help slow aging:

• Always use UV sunscreen and cosmetics. Sun exposure is a major contributor towards skin aging and wrinkles. Sun damage after the age of fifty can even increase risk of skin cancer.
• Hydrate. A large portion of the human body is made up of water – so it makes sense that you should drink water and natural juices throughout the day – especially in hot weather. Skin hydration is also aided by drinking water and will lessen age-related fatigue on skin.
• Stop smoking. Skin ‘vitamins and minerals’ are depleted greatly by nicotine. This means the greater risk of aging before your time. Smoking also contributes to the whole body aging, and also increases the risks of cancer, arthritis and osteoporosis.
• Take it easy. Chronic stress can increase the aging process – which is why 8 hours of sleep is recommended each night! Try to relax through yoga or massage techniques.
• Lacking essential vitamins and minerals is a major factor in aging – eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and food rich in antioxidants (vitamins A, E, C and selenium), zinc and copper – and add fiber to help your digestive system get rid of toxins.
