Tips to Fight the Aging Process - January 5, 2012

In keeping with the new year and resolutions to work on improving our health and wellness I wanted to share some daily anti-aging tips with you.  As everyone knows, everyday your skin gets older but it doesn't have to look older!  By utilizing these 5 tips, everyone can enjoy healthier younger looking skin.

    1.  Hydration - Remember to drink plenty of water  throughout the day to keep you hydrated so that your cells can function properly and regenerate.

    2.  Fruits and Veggies - The phytonutrients in fruits and vegetables are essential for our body's health and overall wellness, so make sure you eat plenty of fruits and vegetables everyday.

    3.  Rest - Everyone knows that rest is necessary for your body to be function properly and be healthy.   Recently I read that the best way to figure out how much sleep your body needs is to think about when you fall asleep naturally and then wake up without an alarm clock.  That is a good indication of the hours of rest your body needs to run at its best.

    4.  Interaction - Studies have shown that it is beneficial for person to take time to spend with their friends or  loved ones.  This interaction helps socially and boosts your mental health.

    5.  Moving - Exercise is a key to living a long life.  Even if it is a short walk around the block, walking up a flight of stairs or any activity will help your body to avoid getting stiff, and exercising releases endorphins which help to improve your mood.  So next time you get up and take a walk on your lunch hour, remember you are not only helping your body physically but mentally also!
