Isn’t it strange? When we were children, we wanted to grow older as fast as possible because we wanted to have and enjoy all the good things that only grownups were allowed to! When we reached the adult age, we missed our childhood because of all the responsibilities that came with growing up. And when we grow old, we miss both!

So, how do you ensure that you age gracefully with fewer burdens to yourself or others? Allow me to list a few things that will help you in this endeavor:

1. First of all, remember that aging is all in the mind. If you think you’ve grown old, you most certainly have. But if you remain young at heart, you’ll age more slowly and gracefully.

2. Try to maintain a routine in your life. This includes waking up early in the morning, going to bed early, taking a short nap in the afternoon, eating the right food at the right time, etc.

3. Exercise at least 3 times a week. If you can’t do pushups, do some light aerobic exercise. Take a walk for at least 45 minutes a day, preferably in the morning.

What company makes the best skincare products? If you believe advertising, all of them do. If instead you listen to expert opinions, you can really find safe and effective products.

What Do Dermatologists Say?

Avoid petrolatum, parabens and artificial preservatives, as well as added fragrances. Petrolatum, a byproduct of petroleum or gasoline production, clogs the pores and interferes with the natural skin rejuvenation process.

Other petroleum byproducts that are often found in moisturizers include mineral oil, paraffin wax and liquid paraffin. None of these are effective moisturizers. They are cheap ingredients that eventually lead to excessive dryness.

Sixty is said to be the new forty. I personally find it more and more difficult to determine people’s ages as I age. People are looking younger and younger. Or am I getting older and older?

There are many new discoveries today to look younger, feel good and have a steady stream of energy. I am extremely energetic, however after a very long hike I have been known to steal a quick ten minute power nap. It is a treat I allow myself, being basically retired. I actually do work; I am writing all the time, but I am at home, and I can work when I want. What a great life!

The one thing people fear most about aging is the possible loss of their memory and cognitive ability. There are many ways to insure brain health as we age. And since people are living longer today they are faced with these possibilities. There are three categories each providing support to brain health:

1. Food and supplements

2. Brain usage (puzzles, games, learning new things)

3. daily exercise

Each and every one of us loves not only to look younger but also feel young and energetic during our entire lifespan. While it may be possible mentally to feel young and energetic at heart, the same might not be the case physically. As every day passes, we get older by a day and the proces of aging hastens by a day.

The aging process is inevitable in everybody’s life. The demand or need for energy in our physical body tends to decline as one gets older. A number of bodily changes take place as we get older. Due to disuse, the mass of the muscles decreases over a period of time. At the same time, fatty tissues tend to grow more than required. In order to cope with these bodily changes, the intake of calories needs to be curbed and supplemented with nutrients, which will, in a way, help to postpone or slowdown the process of aging.

By reducing the calorie intake by as much as 10% as one goes past the age of 50, a person can slowdown the process of aging. For example, if a 50-year old person requires an average intake of 1,800 calories per day, the same person might need to consume 1,620 calories only when he or she reaches the age of 60, and only 1,440 calories per day when he or she approaches the age of 70. The reduction in intake of calories can be supplemented with the intake of nutrients such as calcium, potassium, zinc and vitamins, which will result in maintaining higher energy levels and thus help in postponing or slowing down the impact of aging.

Desperate people do desperate things and surgery is one of those desperate things that aging Baby Boomers hope can “fix” their sagging faces.

This is exactly what the practitioners that dispense paralyzing and plumping injections along with surgeries of every kind hope you believe. Cha-Ching! Cha-Ching! Cha-Ching!

Recent reports disclose that many anti-aging modalities actually have the opposite affect; rather than slowing or stopping the aging process, some doctors now say that facial plastic surgery and injections may indeed speed up aging. Their reasoning is this: healthy skin that has been cut and sutured never really looks or acts healthy.

Faces that are injected and injected again and again may portray a freakish look that is not equated with youthfulness.

Once a face is either plumped up with fillers or paralyzed with Botulinum A that face may begin to appear distorted. It is difficult not to stare at a face that is distinctly different; the forehead does not move, the eyes have less expression and the overall facial prettiness has departed the scene.

Anti aging? Anti means opposed to, we can’t oppose Aging it’s going to happen. Instead lets embrace it and understand how we can age in health. I don’t want my last years fighting what we can’t stop. I want to learn what to eat, think and do to make them the best. There is a big market for Anti-aging stuff, it sounds like a battle, Folks your going to lose, how about aging graceful, healthy. I’m surprised they haven’t come up with anti death vitamins.

I know you guys, you will still try to “anti the age” so lets look at some things that will help:

Proanthocyanidins and Vitamin C – deserve their stellar reputations as antioxidants that quench free radicals and potentiate other antioxidants. When working together the proantho increased the span vitamin C could stay in our system by 400 percent. Proanthocyanidins was discovered in 1936 by Professor Jacques Masquelier and called Vitamin P. Of course they dropped the Vitamin P and went with the longer word nobody could spell.

DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is an adrenal hormone that is the precursor for steroid hormones such as testosterone and estrogen. DHEA declines precipitously with advancing age in both men and women. DHEA became credible to the medical establishment when the New York Academy of Sciences published a book entitled DHEA and Aging. This book provided scientific validation for the many life extending effects of DHEA.

Your body naturally makes human growth hormone (HGH) to help with growth and maintaining your body’s tissues, bones and muscles throughout your life. The pituitary gland, which is considered the body’s “master gland”, is a small gland at the base of your brain that produces this hormone.

Since this gland is far more active in childhood than it is later in life there is a vital relationship between human growth hormone and the aging process. As the body produces and releases less and less HGH we begin to feel many undesirable symptoms, which we know as aging. These symptoms can include less energy, reduced muscle mass, more difficulty in exercising, increased body fat, decreased bone density, anxiety, moodiness, and many others.

Many clinical studies suggest that getting more of this hormone produced and released through our body may be able to reverse many of these aging symptoms. Studies have shown that HGH supplementation can increase bone density, increase muscle mass, decrease body fat and improve ability to exercise and reduce many other physical and mental symptoms of aging in adults who were previously deficient in HGH.

HGH can come in an injectable form that requires a prescription from a doctor and is very expensive and can run up to $1,000 per month when you consider all the doctor’s visits necessary to monitor your progress. The injectable form usually contains high levels of synthetic human growth hormone and is also obviously an invasive and quite unnatural therapy. A few of the least frightening side effects of these injections include joint pain carpel tunnel syndrome and fluid retention and in some cases the user’s pituitary gland can stop working properly.
