As we age there is often the desire to feel younger like we did years ago. When we were young everything was easy and fun to do.
As the years go by we begin to ache a bit more, have less energy and can even find it more difficult to think as well as we should.
Well don’t feel alone. Many of us are in the same boat and want a better quality of life.
You have seen certain older people that seem to defy aging. They just keep on doing what they enjoy and seem younger than their years. You can tell they are having a great time enjoying life. What’s their secret? Are they just blessed with good genes? Well, they could be.
Maybe they just know how to take care of themselves and have acquired the knowledge and desire to look and feel younger.
There are many factors involved in staying fit. Activities like exercise, both physical and mental, diet, interactions with others and of course your genetic makeup can decide this.
As far as exercise goes, it really does help. If you are one of those that doesn’t like exercising then you could find something physical that you enjoy. What about a sport? Even walking in places you enjoy like a park will benefit you.
Pollution can have an effect on aging as well. Try to cut down on pollution as much as possible. You may not be able to do a lot about the world you live in, but at least you can control your immediate environment to some extent.
Some things you can do in your own home is keeping it clean, use a water filter and keep toxins out at much as possible. A good hepa vacuum can really do wonders by getting rid of dust and animal dander.
If you eat a lot of fast food and processed food, then it’s no wonder you are aging faster then necessary. Do you grab a donut and coffee for breakfast or do you eat a balanced meal?
Try eating whole foods including some raw fruits and vegetables that are filled with antioxidants. Drink plenty of water too.
Some foods just seem to be extraordinary in the anti aging department. These include blueberries, green tea, aloe vera, ginkgo biloba and beets.
There are many supplements that will help you to look and feel younger as well.
If you start following a healthier lifestyle by exercising, eating a wholesome diet, taking a few supplements and doing things you enjoy, then you will find that you will be younger at heart and look better as well.
Just imagine a life with less stress, greater mental clarity, full of energy and less aches and pains.
Now is that a change worth making?
