Strategies On How To Achieve Slow Aging


by Hollis Hatch

There are many stereotypes and myths about aging, mostly about not being able to see or hear. Myths aside, there are more elderly people living exciting, interesting lives than at any other time in history. Keep the advice from the tips below in mind, so you can enjoy all that life has to offer.<br /><br />One of the most important things to remember when aging is to not focus on any numbers. You will drive yourself crazy obsessing over your age, height and weight. Keep less focus on the numbers and more focus on making the most of your life.<br /><br />It's important to get many different sources of antioxidants in your everyday diet to reap their health benefits. Antioxidants are directly related to longer life, as research has shown. Antioxidants are important because they help to remove harmful free radicals from your body. Live a healthier life by consuming a diet high in antioxidants.<br /><br />Always have a list of current medications available. This is a great idea if you go to different pharmacies for your medicines and supplements. This list will enable pharmacists to be able to cross reference medications for ones that counteract or react to each other.<br /><br />Get enough sleep. By sleeping for a full seven hours or more each night you will maintain a normal hormone balance and feel more relaxed throughout the day. If you are sleep deprived you will become agitated, easily irritated and feel just plain lousy.<br /><br />Use your make up in a different way to go well with gray hair. Grey hair can give a washed out look to your complexion so you will need to alter your makeup palate. Use a rose or peach shade for your lips and warm up your skin with blush. Consider selecting a slightly darker foundation than you normally use. Choose a slightly yellowish concealer for difficult shadows under your eyes. Use an eyebrow pencil to define your eyebrows. With the right makeup your gray hair will look fantastic, and you will actually look younger.<br /><br />Try using avocado oil as an anti-aging agent for your skin. This oil has a great absorption into the skin and is perfect for dry skin. Avocado oil also has increased amounts of sterolins, which are agents that have been shown to aid in decreasing the appearance of skin spots caused by aging.<br /><br />Eating a healthy diet is probably the most influential aspect of aging well. Your diet needs to include healthy fats and natural foods such as whole grains, veggies and lean meats. Avoid processed foods because they have few nutrients and do not assist you in avoiding signs of aging.<br /><br />Hormone balance is of the utmost importance to all men and women as they age. Hormonal imbalances can cause insomnia, weight gain and depression and these can also negatively affect the impact of our aging. See a doctor, and find out the best way to keep your hormones balanced in order to significantly improve the quality of your later years.<br /><br />Don't forget to drink enough water. As people age, dehydration becomes more prevalent. To prevent this, it is suggested that 8-10 glasses of water be drunk every day.<br /><br />Restoring your hormones will help you feel younger. When you age your hormone levels decrease, which leads to low energy, stamina and libido. If you are suffering from any of these symptoms, have your hormone levels checked and start HRT, if appropriate.<br /><br />They say youth is wasted on the young, but that's all the more reason to get your youth back. With the tips in this article, you'll be able to look and feel like you did years ago, but you'll retain all the wisdom age has brought you. You won't mind growing older now that you have this advice to guide you.
