How to stop the old aging process is the ultimate age old question. Overtime, the cells of our body grow and die. There is nothing that can stop this process totally, but we are finding out so much more about the body and aging that we can slow down the ravages of time. So much of anti aging is a mind body connection. If you want to keep as young as you can in your body, you should stay young in your mind as well. Energy will follow what you focus on with your mind; so if you are worrying about how tired you are feeling, or how stiff your body is, or you are counting the wrinkles or gray hairs on your head, your energy and the energy around you will give you more of what you are focusing on. I propose to you that one of the first tips for anti aging is to stop thinking about aging; and start focusing on healthy you are, how good you feel and how great you look.
Another easy tip for anti aging is looking at the foods you eat. I remember when I was a kid in the 50's and 60's and there was almost no fast food or processed foods in the grocery stores. I remember when there were no TV dinners and you couldn't find a box of Meat Helper anywhere. It was also rare for us to be overweight too. I didn't have any friends that were overweight and you probably didn't either. Eating too fast, and not eating enough of the good unprocessed foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables is one reason we are more unhealthy and age quicker than years past. If you aren't getting enough vitamins in your diet, you might consider taking supplements. There are a host of vitamins on the market today so ask your pharmacist what brand is recommended and trusted for potency.
We women are looking for the magic wrinkle cream or body lotion that will erase wrinkles. If you find one that erases those wrinkles will you let me know? Some creams are better than others and some have natural herbs in them. Some doctors tout clearing up brown spots and reducing the signs of aging with retinoids. These retinoids are the most documented of the anti agers. It all goes back to prevention and sunscreen instead of trying to clear up the skin damage when it is already done.
It is also well known that stress will make you sicker and age you more quickly than just about anything. You have heard the expression "I just aged 5 years from that experience" or "I just lost 5 years of my life". What can you do to live a more stress free life? If you can't pick up and move to the country like I did, you have to find ways with exercise, meditation, leaving the work at the office, listen to classical music on the commute and so on to de-stress. Here again, stop a moment when it is quiet and focus on how relaxed and de-stressed you are. See yourself very calm and happy and everything is happening just as it should. If you have never tried doing that, I suggest you try just slowing down for a brief moment and see how good that feels. "Stop and smell the roses" as the saying goes. Sleep is also critical so don't try to be super anything and take care of yourself first. If you aren't taken care of, how can you possibly give back something you don't have?
If you really want to slow the aging process, focus your attention on health, your family, friends, and how good it is to be alive. Be grateful for what you have in life and wake everyday knowing everything is playing out exactly as it is supposed to. Try not to "sweat the small stuff" and monitor your reactions to things. It usually isn't the event that stresses us; it is how we react to the event. If you don't let the event take control you will remain calm and your body won't get thrown into a fight or flight mode. Whenever you can keep your blood pressure normal you are ahead of the game of life.
