1. Stay Out of the Sun to Stay Young
Always, always, always wear sunscreen with at least a 30 SPF rating, and make sure it’s broad-spectrum (blocks both UVA and UVB rays). Doesn’t matter if the day is cloudy or bright – the UV rays are always there. And remember to reapply every few hours so it continues to protect your skin
2. Eat A Plant-Rich Diet
3. Drink Plenty of Water
4. Boost Your Physical Activity
5. Avoid Tobacco Products
8. Boost With Nutritional Supplements
9. Go See a Pro
10. Consider an Aesthetic Procedure
Staying young and healthy is easier when you eat a healthy diet of mostly fruits and vegetables supplemented with lean protein and whole grains. These foods provide key nutrients that support healthy aging inside and out. Fruits & veggies also boost your intake of important phytonutrients that help defend against damaging free-radicals.
3. Drink Plenty of Water
Want to know how to look younger naturally? Drink 6-8 glasses of filtered water each day to keep skin supple and support optimum health.
Dehydration causes skin to become dry and wrinkled. Proper hydration ensures tissues and skin cells are replenished, allowing for younger, healthier-looking skin.
4. Boost Your Physical Activity
Make sure you’re active daily – recent research shows that vigorous exercise, particularly high-intensity interval training, can slow aging by almost a decade at a cellular level! Exercise also increases blood flow, moving oxygen and nutrients to working cells in the body – skin included – promoting a more youthful look.
5. Avoid Tobacco Products
Smoking is one of the worst things you can do to your body and skin. Ditching tobacco is essential if you want to stay young looking.
6. Limit Alcohol & Caffeine
Alcohol (in moderation) can have some health benefits, but too much alcohol and caffeine has a negative impact on both your health and appearance.
7. Adopt a Good Skin Care Regimen
Start your daily skin care routine with a gently exfoliating cleanser. Apply a moisturizer to hydrate the skin, allowing it to stay firm and elastic and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Ingredients like green-tea extract, vitamins A, C & E, and hyaluronic acid help protect against free-radicals, increase collagen, and retain moisture.
8. Boost With Nutritional Supplements
Aging skin results from a combination of biological and environmental factors. While the first line of defense should be a healthy diet, it’s a good idea to use anti-aging supplements and beauty supplements to help cover any nutrient gaps.
9. Go See a Pro
As we age, facial volume decreases due to loss of fat, bone density and muscle, making lines and wrinkles more obvious. Repetitive facial expressions can also cause deep frown lines (Hello, 11s and forehead lines!) that contribute to an aged or even angry appearance. In addition, hyperpigmentation, broken capillaries and acne scars can become more prominent with age. A number of non-invasive professional treatments are available to address these concerns and help you stay young looking longer.
10. Consider an Aesthetic Procedure
Remember, good health inside is visible on the outside. However, some things (like genes and time) can be out of our control, despite our best efforts. Why be afraid to get a little help looking good and feeling good about it?
11. Get Plenty of Protein
12. Eat More Fat
13. Take It Easy
14. Cut Calories
15. Exercise Your Brain
16. Trim Belly Fat
17. Don’t Skimp on Beauty Sleep
18. Sleep on Your Back
19. Keep Companionship
20. Don’t Act Your Age
Your body needs a ready supply of protein available to build new collagen and elastin. You don’t need to eat like a bodybuilder. Just aim to eat a small amount of high-quality protein at every meal, like nonfat plain Greek yogurt at breakfast, beans or peas at lunch, a whey protein shake for a mid-day boost, and lean poultry or fish at dinner.
12. Eat More Fat
Not all fat is bad – Omega-3 fatty acids (found in oily fish, nuts, and seeds) have been associated with slowing a key biological process.
13. Take It Easy
Staying young means stressing less. Set aside a small chunk of time every day, about 10-20 minutes, to relax, meditate, or just breathe deeply, while letting worries melt away and helping yourself look younger naturally.
14. Cut Calories
Eating fewer calories has been linked to longer lifespan. And other studies have shown that exercising and restricting calories lowers production of a thyroid hormone called T3, slowing metabolism and helping slow the aging process.
15. Exercise Your Brain
“Use it or lose it” is true when it comes to brain function. In the same way that physical exercise helps brain fitness by improving both long-term and episodic memory as well as concentration, brain exercises may be able to “train” your brain and keep cognitive decline at bay even up to 10 years later.
16. Trim Belly Fat
Maintaining a healthy weight is key to looking and feeling younger, so get rid of that fat around the middle.
17. Don’t Skimp on Beauty Sleep
It’s not a myth – even science shows that you look less attractive, less healthy, and even sad when you’re sleep-deprived. Sleeping more means staying young!
18. Sleep on Your Back
The way you sleep can affect the way wrinkles develop on your face. Just as when muscle movement against collagen, like laughing or frowning, can promote its breakdown, “sleep lines” can be formed through nightly application of pressure as we lie with our faces against the pillow. Sleeping on your back instead of on your stomach or sides alleviates pressure on the face, helping to prevent these wrinkles.
19. Keep Companionship
Having a partner in life, whether a spouse or even a companion animal, can have a positive effect on aging. Both can help lower stress, improve brain function, boost immunity and mood, and help us live longer. Consider it a testament to the power of love!
20. Don’t Act Your Age
Mind wins over matter when it comes to aging, because studies show that people who thrive in old age think younger
