Want To Age Gracefully? Here's How You Can!

By Joel Ricafort


Aging is an inevitable part of life for everyone, but it can be a positive experience if viewed with the right attitude. Various changes will take place in your body, but some of the effects can be minimized with the right lifestyle choices. Remember that you have options when it comes to how you face aging.

Increasing your social activities can improve your lifestyle as you get older. Being part of a group can help you to keep learning and experiencing new things. Join a seniors group, a craft class, or a cooking class. Keeping busy will give you no time to feel older!

Take some great anti-aging supplements with your vitamins each morning. Be sure to do your research about the supplement that you choose as they do not all have the same beneficial ingredients in them. Consult your doctor if you cannot decide on the kind of a supplement to take.

A true, lifelong friendship offers energy, love and emotional sustenance to live happily. It is never too late to make some new friends. Meet new people by strike up conversations with strangers in the grocery line, on the bus or at an event. It will improve your life.

Take the time to stretch each day. If you can retain your flexibility, you are sure to stay mobile and more independent for many more years. Many muscle and skeletal problems come from poor flexibility and if you continue to do stretches each day, you are sure to have far less problems.

Don't smoke! Smoking has been shown to prematurely age you. Not only can it make you look older, but it can actually reduce your life expectancy. If you stop smoking, your body will start to repair itself within a day of no longer smoking. This will lower your risk for heart and lung diseases.

Eat a sensible diet. Have balance in your diet with plenty of vegetables and fruits, while avoiding foods that are high in fat and sugars. Eating a healthy, balanced diet gives you the energy you need to live your day to the fullest while feeding a healthy body and mind.

Do protect your skin against wrinkles and cancer by wearing proper sunblock but don't over do it to the extent that you deprive yourself of much needed vitamin D! As much harm as too much sun can do, too little of it can also hurt you so find a suitable SPF that will prevent damage without completely prohibiting your intake of highly beneficial sunlight!

Perhaps there was something you really wanted to do when you were in your twenties, but you set it aside as impractical: you had to pay the bills, provide for your family. Now that you have reached retirement age, it is time to think back to those interests you set aside. Don't think you can't pursue them now. You can! Now that you've read this article, you know what you need to do to stave off the effects of old age. Best of luck in staying youthful!
