The
Anti-Aging Guide
By Steve Hill
With more and more people living for longer periods, anti-aging
is becoming big business. This article looks into what causes
premature aging and gives advice on how to keep looking younger
for longer.
The
latest research shows that around seventy-five percent of skin
aging is caused by an over exposure to the sun. This is a huge
figure and one that has to be taken seriously for anyone who is
looking at ways in delaying the aging process.
In
my opinion this is actually common sense as when anything becomes
burnt it tends to shrivel up and become all wrinkly. This is what
can happen to peoples skin, it may not happen straight away but
after maybe thirty years of this over exposure to the sun, wrinkles
are likely to appear.
For
people who enjoy spending time sunbathing as it makes them feel
good and because they like looking tanned, I would advise a strong
sun cream. This should be used regularly as per the instructions
and if you start to feel your body burning up this is the time
when you should be looking for some shade or to cover up.
It
is also important to ensure we get enough sleep. Research suggests
that people who only average around six hours sleep per night
will age in looks far quicker than people who average eight hours.
Again
this is very logical as if you have a period of a couple of weeks
when you do not get enough sleep, bags can appear under your eyes.
If you have a really good nights sleep you tend to wake up not
only feeling fresh and awake but also looking fresh and healthy.
My advice here for people who have developed these bags under
their eyes would be to use a good eye cream or to gently massage
their eyes every day.
Smoking
can certainly speed up the aging process. To quit smoking is not
easy however, but it is a must for people on a quest to delay
the aging process. There are of course many other reasons to stop
smoking, therefore be brave and look at ways to quit smoking today.
I
have often heard people refer to somebody with a comment such
as, he looks as if he has had a hard life. This is often referred
to somebody who looks far older than they actually are. They look
like they have not been looked after or that they have not had
enough love in their lives.
What
I think has happened is that they have had a stressful life. What
we therefore need to do is to attempt to live as much of a stress-free
life as possible. This of course is not that easy. What we need
to do is to think in a more positive and pro-active way. We need
to start to like ourselves and be happy with who we are and what
we have. Thinking in this way will certainly in my opinion help
you in your quest of anti-aging.
