Aging Begins at Birth

We begin to age from the time we are born. Aging is natural and irreversible but it can be slowed down.
Read on for tips that will help you to age slowly and gracefully
Importance of Exercise

The importance of exercise in keeping a person young cannot be stressed enough.
Do not forget to engage in 30 minutes of daily exercise if youthfulness is your goal
Maintain a Balance

As we grow older we need fewer calories so we have to balance between what we need and what we end up eating
Avoid Saturated Fats

Avoid food with high levels of saturated fat such as red meat.
On the other hand, a low fat diet is rejuvenating, especially one that is plant- based.
Kick the Butt

Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption as it can cause premature wrinkles and wreck havoc on a person's skin
Low Sugar

Limit your sugar intake.
Sugar acts like an oxidant that produces free radicals and also brings about weight gain
Water Water Everywhere

Make sure you stay hydrated.
Drink 8-10 glasses of water every day for smooth and younger-looking skin.
Eat Well Eat Right

Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, especially the green and red variety. They act as anti oxidants and help to combat diseases associated with aging.
Multivitamins

Take oral supplements containing vitamins and minerals regularly to revitalize your skin, fight against diseases and maintain youthfulness
Go Green!

Consume green tea as it is an excellent anti oxidant which helps to detox and rejuvenate.
Sun Protection

Avoid the sun as 80% of aging is due to sun exposure.
Before stepping out do not forget to use a sunscreen with SPF 15-30.
Also wear those sunglasses!
Skin Care Routine

Follow the cleaning, toning, moisturizing (CTM) routine religiously.
Using an anti-aging cream with AHAs, vitamin C and E is also known to delay wrinkle formation.
Beat Stress

Stress is anathema to youthfulness. Practice meditation or other relaxation techniques to eliminate stress
Snatch those 40 Winks

Sleep has rejuvenating properties. Make sure you sleep well for 8 hours daily to promote damage-repair mechanisms and to energize yourself
Screening for Diseases

Periodic screenings and health checkups are vital for early detection and combating of diseases that are part of aging.
Indulge in Intimacy

Sex is revitalizing! Engage in healthy sex with your partner regularly to release those ''feel good'' chemicals - endorphins
