Like any battle, the fight against aging is best fought on
several fronts simultaneously.
Get Up and Get Moving Exercise is they key to a healthy life if
you're eight or 80. A brisk 30 minute walk every day can do
wonders. Take friends along or get a dog for company. It helps
with motivation too. Even those unable to walk can still get
some exercise while stationary through repetitive movement
exercises. It's important to do what you can.
Eat Smart The right kind of foods in the right quantities can do
wonders to stave off the aging process. Plenty of fruits and
vegetables, particularly the most colorful ones, which tend to
be rich in nutrients, are important. So is keeping your total
fat intake down, saturated fats in particular. Read food labels
and substitute saturated fat in the diet for complex
carbohydrates like starch and fiber.
Busy Body, Busy Mind Exercise keeps the body working, but a
flexible mind is just as important. The more occupied the mind
stays, the more its cells are stretched, the better shape it
stays in. Start tackling the daily crossword and read the rest
of the newspaper while you're at it. Take up a hobby, keep busy
and give yourself things to look forward to.
Products It never hurts to have a little help and there are a
wide variety of anti-aging products on the market to help beat
the aging process. Aging most obviously manifests itself in
outward appearance and there's no shortage of products that
tackle that problem. Anti-wrinkle creams that hydrate and
tighten skin can take years off a face and are a more cost
effective and safer alternative to expensive plastic surgery
procedures or injections of substances like Botox.
As well as creams and lotions, there are numerous hormone
supplements and pharmaceuticals available that make varying
claims of slowing or even reversing the aging process. The
production of the hormone Dehydroepiandrosterone, or DHEA for
short, decline sharply in the elderly and has been popular in
the marketplace for almost 10 years thanks to its reported
life-extending qualities.
Other natural supplements that have been lauded include fish
oil, which helps combat heart disease, and green tea, which is
said to inhibit the growth of undesirable cells in the body.
Laugh Loud, Live Long It's the best medicine, it keeps you
young, it's birthed a thousand clichés, but there's no getting a
round it - laughter feels good and that can't be bad. Rent a
comedy, read a book of humorous fiction, share some jokes, get
together with friends and reminisce about the good old days.
Whatever gets you laughing keeps you young at heart, which is a
good thing physically and emotionally. Smiling makes you look
younger, too.
