5 Tips to Looking Young

Recapture your youth, and hold onto it for years to come. These are the top 5 ways to drastically slow down the aging process.
1. Exercise. Regular work-outs are essential for anyone wishing to slow down the aging process. Increased bone density, balance, stamina and strength can be achieved with a combination of anaerobic and aerobic exercise. 20 minutes on the treadmill, followed by 20 minutes of strength training, 5 days per week, will really pay off in the long run.

2. Diet. Close supervision over what goes in your body on a daily basis can be very beneficial. Consuming foods high in sugar can lead to the breakdown of the skin's building blocks; resulting in premature aging. Meat and dairy products should be eaten in moderation. Most animal products and bi-products are loaded with hormones. These hormones, when ingested, put the aging process in to fast gear. Foods that are high in fiber should be eaten with great regularity. Fiber helps rid the body of toxic waste build-up.

3. Vitamins. Getting into the routine of taking a multi-vitamin every day should not be a difficult task. Taking a great vitamin supplement is vital to sustaining youth and vitality. Even the most health conscious eater needs to supplement. Vitamins will not only make you feel better and more energetic, they are antioxidants, so will work to detox your skin. They fight back against all the free-radical activity our skin is exposed to on a regular basis.

4. Fluids. Coffee, diet coke and alcohol do not count. Fruit juices, although full of Vitamin-C, should be limited as well. Juices, even the all natural ones, contain a lot of sugar. Sugar in the bloodstream leads to the breakdown of collagen and elastic in the skin. As long as you are taking your vitamins, you should not need that glass of OJ in the morning. 8 glasses of water per day is the minimum. Sugar-Free Vitamin Water and Propel Fitness Water are great choices, if regular water is too boring.

5. Skin Care. Get in the routine of taking care of your face. What you put on your skin every day matters. Finding a cutting-edge product line is imperative to looking young. Look for a brand that is either produced by a physician or recommended by one. ViDermSkin and Obagi are two excellent choices. Whatever brand you choose, it is always best to use multiple products from one manufacturer, as the pH levels are the same and they are made to work together.
