Kickstart Your Anti-Aging Skincare Program
While there are some great anti-wrinkle products available, what is the point of spending money on them unless we take care of the inside of our bodies as well. There are several things we can do to help our bodies stay younger, boost our energy levels and give our skin a natural, healthy glow.
Aerobic Exercise
Whether you walk, hike, bike, swim, dance, play tennis, ride an elliptical it will make a big difference in the way you look and feel and will provide long term benefits that no jar of wrinkle cream can offer. Try different activities until you find the one you enjoy and can do on a regular basis. Here are just a few benefits of aerobic exercise:
- Boost metabolism by burning calories. This helps us control our weight.
- Boost energy. You may have heard of the "runner's high." When you exercise your body produces feel-good chemicals called endorphins. When you feel tired or sleepy, try a short walk to revive.
- Reduce stress and rev up your sex life
- Prevent disease. Regular exercise can prevent common diseases that occur as we age, like diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, strokes and even depression.
- Give your skin a natural glow as your heart pumps more blood through your body. Plus, people who exercise generally feel better about their bodies and give off a natural radiance.
Drink More Water
Yes, you're probably tired of hearing you should drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. But water really is critical to keeping skin hydrated, smooth and supple. Over time, dry skin can age more quickly and wrinkles will be more apparent. Moisturizers can help, but hydrating your body from within is very important.
Did you know you can lose one or two percent of your body weight in water without being thirsty? While it doesn't sound like much, your body is operating below efficiency. Drinking plenty of water will help keep you regular and may reduce your risk of colon cancer. It can also help prevent bothersome bladder infections and painful kidney stones by flushing out bacteria and dissolving wastes that could create a kidney stone. Water also helps fill you up so you eat less, a bonus for those trying to lose weight.
Experts say all eight glasses don't have to be pure water. Milk, juice and seltzer can also count. High-water content foods like watermelon and grapes can also go toward your goal. Because alcohol and caffeinated beverages actually dehydrate you, don't count them toward your daily water intake. In fact you should drink more water if you consume these beverages.
