Exercise! If you are physically fit, you’ll look much younger. So get a move on. Try something upbeat that gets you moving. If you play golf, walk, don’t use a cart. If you have physical limitations, ask your doctor about physical therapists in your area they can show you ways to put together a long-term fitness plan.

If you smoke, quit. Smoking is one of the major causes of premature aging in women to note just one consequence. Your skin and eyes are irritated and you inhale toxins that the body works constantly to rid itself of. Smoking loads the body with oxidents which are known causes of aging.
Don’t burn the candle at both ends. Its important to get enough sleep if you want to stop premature aging. Dont rob yourself of sleep. Get plenty of sleep and stay on a regular schedule.
Eat less. Dont snack. Our bodies expend more effort digesting food than on any other function. Causing the body to work too hard digesting too much food wears it out prematurely. The more added pounds we carry with us, the more we stress our bodies. Your body will let you know it needs if you will be sensitive to it. Fasting is an excellent way to get rid of toxins.
Don’t use tanning beds. You may look great now, but over use of them can lead to wrinkles and other skin problems. If you desire a tan, acquire it naturally, by sunning in moderation early in the day or late afternoon, when the sun is not at its peak.
We have to accept the ravages of getting older, but we don’t need to enhance them. Some common sense early on can pay off in the long run.
