Eat a balanced and healthy diet
Within your daily diet you must include raw fruits and vegetables so that the body receives enzymes. These substances are intended to improve the functioning of organs and cells.
In addition, they have many benefits for the digestive system. If we do not have these enzymes, the body loses vitality and ages. This results in general deterioration.
In turn, it is important to eat foods that are rich in antioxidants. Among them we highlight:
Olive oil.
Nuts.
Green Tea.
Whole grains.
Vegetables.
Blue fish (salmon, tuna, etc).
On the other hand, it is necessary that you stop eating what has been refined, treated with preservatives and colorings, products full of sugar or fat, etc. If when you see the package you do not understand what its ingredients are, it is probably not good for your health. Try to eat less packaged and more natural foods.
Sleep and rest well
Have you ever been told that you have a "tired face"? This is because during the hours of sleep the body is revitalized and regenerated. Therefore, it is vital that you rest. How many? That will be determined by your body. The average for an adult is between 6 and 8 hours in a row each night.
Go to bed earlier and try to take a nap of even half an hour each afternoon. Get up around the same time, don't stay up late and stick to a sleep routine.
According to a study by the Cleveland University Hospitals Medical Center in the USA, chronic poor sleep quality is associated with increased intrinsic signs of aging, decreased skin barrier function, and decreased satisfaction with their appearance.
do exercise
One of the ways we have to feel more vital and healthy is by playing sports. You don't have to join a gym or become an Olympic medalist. Going out for a walk each day and leaving the car parked a little further than usual is enough.
There is even some research that suggests that a daily walk, in addition to having positive effects on our physique, can improve moods.
You can also take the opportunity to go on a bicycle to do the shopping or go to work, go up the stairs instead of using the elevator or dance at home. You can also take the dog for a walk and clean your home with energy. Other options are swimming, aquagym, aerobic exercise classes, etc.
A sedentary lifestyle causes many diseases (such as obesity, osteoporosis, back pain, and fluid retention). And, in addition, it makes you look more tired and old, without energy or desire to do anything.
Avoid stress
Sure you ask yourself ... How do I reduce my stress levels living in a city or working so many hours a day? Will I have to move to the mountains or to the country? Not really.
Despite the fact that life in the metropolis is quite busy, it all depends on how we take it. This means that even if all people walk fast in the street, honk their horns in their cars or fight with others ... you do not have to do the same. It's difficult, but these stressful situations are worth avoiding whenever possible.
In turn, you can practice yoga, meditation or tai chi in many specialized centers. If not, try breathing slowly and slowly with your eyes closed when everything seems to collapse. This will help you to be calmer and, as a consequence, that you can avoid diseases such as:
Hypertension.
Gastritis.
Ulcers.
Insomnia.
Fatigue.
Irritability.
Care your skin
This also allows you to look much younger. If your skin is clean, hydrated, luminous and exfoliated, you will feel better and you will take several years off your face.
It is essential that you eliminate all the impurities that accumulate in the dermis for different reasons: the passage of time, environmental pollution, hormonal changes, lack of care, etc.
Pay close attention to caring for the areas most vulnerable to flaccidity such as the lips, neck and eyes. It is important that you follow a good skin cleansing and exfoliation routine.
An unhealthy diet and smoking or drinking excessively are, in turn, enemies for your skin. You also need to protect it from the sun, cold and certain external agents.
For example, if you work in the city center, when you return home, wash your face and hands well to remove all dirt. If you go to the beach, put on a good protection factor and don't forget a regenerating cream.
Although there is nothing that can be done to avoid the passage of time, some habits could help us to cope in the best possible way.
