Instead of dwelling on my flaws, weight gain, acne scars, furrow between my brows, etc. I am going to focus on keeping my self healthy from now on.
It is shown that people are living longer for a number of reasons:
- they remain socially active
- they adapt well to change
- they rebound from bad situations
- they rely less on medication than there less-healthy peers
- they view themselves positively
- they have frequent contact with friends and family
Along with exercise and a well balanced diet, you can help the signs of aging. Sugar ages your skin, so avoid over indulging. Smoking, and alcohol can also make you look older, and make for unhealthy insides.
There are hundreds of anti aging creams in the market, but beware, they won't work! Plastic surgery is really the only way to reverse wrinkles, sun damage, etc. The key is to take care of your skin as early as possible. Use sun screen every day, with a SPF of at least 15. Wear broad rimmed sunglasses that block UVA and UVB (at least 95%), and wear a hat to protect your head.
Live longer and age less tips:
Eat tomatoes and cantaloupe, both contain nutrients that protect the skin from sun damage.
Eat less. America's portion size is way too big. Use a 9-inch plate at meals, instead of the usual 11 or 13-inch.
Eat Fiber.
Drink green tea.
Take a Vitamin C supplement, for best results combine with Vitamin E. (400mg of Vitamin C, 400 IU of Vitamin E)
Laugh more! Laughing reduces stress.
