Four Things You Can Do When You’re Younger to Feel Better When You’re Older

If you’re very young right now, then you may think that anti-aging articles and tips don’t apply to you. Those are for older people right?

Wrong! 👇

In reality, those articles apply to you more than anyone else! After all, it’s too late to prevent aging once you are already feeling and looking a lot older. And when you get to that point where the crow’s feet and age spots are showing, you’ll only wish that you had taken the opportunity to protect yourself against aging when you were younger.

So what can you do right now, to make sure that you keep your good looks and good health well into older age?

LIFESTYLE: 

In terms of lifestyle, there are a ton of things you need to do to stay younger and healthier in the way you look and feel. For starters, try to avoid too much direct sunlight. Anything more than 20 minutes of unprotected sun and UV rays damage the skin cells. While you might think nothing of this; it makes a huge cumulative difference that is very apparent when you’re older! Likewise, you absolutely have to make sure you are getting plenty of high quality sleep. This will help you improve your health in all kinds of ways, as sleep is when the body restores cells, forms new neural connections and produces lots of growth hormone and testosterone.

SKIN CARE:

The right skin care regimen can make a massive difference. Any good skin care routine should incorporate an exfoliator, some kind of protection and some kind of moisturizer. And don’t forget the hands. Often the hands are the biggest giveaway of your true age when you’re older.

NUTRITION:

Nutrition is massively important when it comes to the way you age. Many of the illnesses we associate with old age are, in fact, just the result of long-term nutrient deficiencies. If you ensure that you keep getting enough of your micro-nutrients, your body will be supplied with all the raw materials it needs to keep you looking and feeling as young as possible.

MOVEMENT:

Finally: exercise!

And don’t just exercise. Move more. Sitting takes years off of your life because it allows your heart to become weaker. What’s more, it also weakens your muscles, ruins your flexibility and damages your posture. It’s very important that you keep moving as you get older to avoid a hunched over appearance.

Slow Down the Aging Process

Excerpt from my latest free report: How to Slow Down the Aging Process

What does an old person look like? 

Ditch the cigar, Sis! Lol

Hunched over? Slow? Doddering? Shaky?

And how likely are you to see an older person in their 70’s or older go running or performing gymnastics? 

Not very?

Our assumptions about the elderly are generally fueled by stereotypes and perhaps the people we know in our own lives. But just because a lot of people lose their ability to move well as they age, that doesn’t mean you have to.

Consider Arnold Schwarzenegger, age 71, and Sylvester Stallone, age 72. These guys are still more muscular and healthy than most of us will ever be in our whole lives!  And there are Grandmas in their 80’s that can still perform top-level gymnastics, and at any marathon you will see a lot of elderly contenders. 

Obviously, these people haven’t subscribed to the idea of a ‘best before’ date. Actually, our bodies should be more than capable of lasting our entire lives. The problem is the way we use it and how we take care of it.

How Your Body Deteriorates:

Think about what most of us do between the hours of 9 - 5, 5 days a week. We sit in an office, hunched over at our desk, working. No doubt most of us will pick up some kind of back problems and this then signals us that we need to slow down and stop being active (which is encouraged by most people we know).

We spend our retirement also sitting down and during all this time, our bodies start to lose their flexibility, their muscle tone and their dynamic synergy. This is when imbalances arrive and it’s when we start to experience chronic pain.

Sometimes this is exacerbated by illness or inflammation but very often it is simply the result of a lack of use, improper movement and muscular imbalances.
