Don't give up, because there are plenty of steps you can take to hold the signs of aging at bay for a very long time. But the most effective of them are very basic: diet, exercise, and a good skin care regimen. This article will explore each of them.
An Antiaging Diet
The secret to eating an anti aging diet is to make sure you are getting plenty of colorful foods like blueberries, carrots, pomegranates, melons, and leafy green vegetables. Eating between five and nine one-half cup servings of these each day (more is better) will ensure that you're getting all the antioxidants and nutrients you need to fight aging.
Combine that increase in fruits and veggies with a reduction of your intake of fatty red meats. Go with lean poultry and lots of cold-water fish which is rich in the Omega fatty acids so essential to keep your body flexible and your skin youthful.
Eating this diet will not only make you look and feel younger; it will cut your chances of developing cardiovascular disease, cancer, and other illnesses which accompany the aging process.
Working Out with Weights
While any good exercise program should include a cardio element, you won't get the best anti aging effects unless you're also working out with weights. Both weight-bearing exercise and weight lifting will help you create lean muscle mass, burn fat, and boost your metabolism.
Working out with weights will also give you that toned and sculpted look which knocks years off your appearance. You'll replace the flab with a tighter trimmer physique.
Working out with weights doesn't mean that you have to start bench pressing like a body builder. Research has shown that you will get the results you want using light weights, as long as you stick with it and have a 15-minute session with your weights every other day.
A Good Skin Care Program
You may sometimes think that women go overboard when it comes to their skin care regimens. You don't understand why using your shower soap on your face isn't IK, until you can feel it becoming painfully dry. Even then you might feel funny about using a moisturizer. But dry skin adds years to anyone's appearance.
Get ahead of the competition by using only organic skin care products which are free of the chemical fragrances, colors, and additives you'll find in most anti aging skin care products or anti aging cream. Concentrate on keeping your skin clean and hydrated.
You can't keep yourself from growing older, but you can have some say in how quickly you feel and look your age. In that, all men and all women are the same. By improving your diet, adding weights to your exercise and using a few simple skin care techniques, you'll have an anti-aging program any woman would be proud of!
