Age in Health and Wisdom: The Countdown is On

Sometimes, what people get out of life is only a matter of choice. While aging is an inevitable natural biological phenomenon, it can manifest itself harsher if a person also has very poor lifestyle choices. So, if you are serious about retaining your youthful glow by aging in good health and wisdom, here are some initiatives you may want to begin embracing:

5. Laugh when there is a chance

Laughter, as you may have already known, significantly reduces stress hormones called cortisol. Moreover, those giggles and laughs also hasten the body’s production of ‘endorphins’ which are health enhancing hormones.

4. Drink red wine

Red wine contains a powerful anti-aging compound called ‘resveratrol’. Researchers say that resveratrol is a key ingredient to preventing blood vessel damage, reducing ‘bad’ cholesterol, and stopping excessive blood clotting.

3. Avoid smoking

If you had not known, smoking hastens the rate of aging and is one major block to having a stunning skin. A cigar’s toxic ingredients travel around the body. Once the carbon monoxide cigars bring binds itself to the hemoglobin in red blood cells, affected cells can no longer carry sufficient oxygen.

2. Stay away from excess sugar

Experts say that sugar hastens the degeneration of collagen and elastin which are both key proteins for the skin. Consuming excessive sweets can cause major damage to the skin and it can ultimately lead to a person looking way older than he actually is.

1. Take in sufficient water

The cells in your body are 60 to 70% water. Thus, when you consume inadequate water, the cells can readily suffer from dehydration which eventually causes them to die. Ideally, a person should take in 8 to 10 liters of water to supplement the needs of the skin and the body as a whole.


And to reinforce all these healthy measures, it would pay to find an effective anti-wrinkle formula. Speaking of which, an anti-aging serum is a proven and tested solution. With an anti-aging skin care that truly delivers, you can look and feel young through the succeeding years.
