Aging is an inevitable process. How fast we age, how we feel and look may be a result of what we do to ourselves.
1. Vitamin C is well known for it antioxidant properties and its role in preventing the free-radical damage that contributes to aging and age-related conditions.
2. Studies indicate that Vitamin E may slow the aging process and prevent premature aging by prolonging the useful life of our cells, thus maintaining the function of our organs.
3. Vitamin A and beta-carotene have been used to treat many skin conditions including acne and wrinkles. Studies indicate that vitamin A is useful in promoting healthy skin.
4. Coenzyme Q10 also known as "ubiquinone", behaves like a vitamin in the body and is found in every cell of the body. It has attracted recent interest for its potential as an antioxidant and is getting some positive results when used topically for treatment and prevention of fine lines and wrinkles.
5. The nutrient I will address is water. It is an essential nutrient often forgotten for its importance in maintaining a healthy body and vibrant complexion. One of the best ways to moisturize the skin is from the inside. Make sure you consume at least 64 ounces of pure water every day for a healthy complexion.
6. Exercise-Experts agree that there's nothing science can do for you that can forestall the aging process more than exercise. Not only will you feel invigorated afterwards, but also improved circulation will make your skin look and feel healthier. An active and fit 70-year old can have a healthier heart and skin than a sedentary and unfit 25-year old.
7. Sleep-Quality, deep sleep promotes your body's release of growth hormone, which helps to melt fat and aid muscle development. Besides sleep for at least 6-7 hrs per day is a complete essential to provide body physical and metal rest from day to day worries . While we rest or sleep every cell of the body gets rejuvenated from the stress of life ,putting us back on the right track.
8. Reducing Stress-Stress is a part of everyday life--it's unavoidable, but very manageable. Stress has been proven to be one of the biggest factors in illness and disease. Lifestyle adjustments are essential . . . no excuses! Learning to relax may seem unrealistic, but it is easier than you think. Remember only you have the power to change the course of your lives. If you're feeling down, exercise may help pick you up. A review of past studies found that long-term exercise, especially when it includes long-lasting, strenuous training sessions, has about as much of an effect on depression as psychotherapy.
9. Eat a healthy balanced Diet- based on the Food Guide Pyramid. Try to consume more of foods at the bottom of the pyramid like cereals and pulses along with fruits and vegetables and less of foods at the top of the pyramid .Always eat breakfast! Skipping breakfast sends the message to your body that you're "starving" because you haven't had food in 18+ hours (dinner meal one day to lunch meal the following day). As a protective mechanism, your metabolism slows down. Leaving you drained out of energy . Food, especially complex carbohydrates, fuels your metabolism.
10. Cut down on Tea and Coffee. Women who drink a lot of tea ,coffee, hot chocolate and cola-type drinks are more likely to have tired -looking skin and to suffer from conditions such as a greasy skin and spots . The coffee or soda you drink throughout the day can be a mental and physical health nightmare. Too much caffeine can cause dehydration ,prevent absorption of essential nutrients by the body, cause shaky hands, restlessness and irritability, all of which increase stressful feelings. Try drinking not more than 3-4 cups a day of any caffeine containing drinks.
