8 EASY STEPS TO MAKE YOU LOOK YOUNGER

• Eat the right kind of food

Food helps preserve your body but not just any kind of food. Vegetables and fruits should be a constant part of your meal if you want to look younger. They contain elements and vitamins that serve as antioxidants (vitamins A, C and E which help slow down the aging process).

• Drink lots of water

We need about two to three litres of water daily to maintain normal body functions. If your skin is not getting enough water, it begins to wrinkle and you start to age.

• Avoid stress

Find time daily to rest no matter how busy you are. Have a regular sleeping and waking time. The more the stress your body experiences  the higher the level of cortisol ( stress hormone) released into your system. This can cause you to age fast.

• Avoid too much exposure to sunlight

The ultraviolet rays of the sun causes a lot of damage to the skin. Avoid spending long hours under the sun. Wear protective clothing and sunglasses when it is very sunny.

• Exercise

This helps to keep the body fit and in shape. Exercise keeps you healthy and thus prevents you from aging fast

• Avoid alcohol and cigarette

Alcohol and cigarette have a lot of adverse effect on the body. Taking excess of these substances stress your body organs. This will not only cause you to age fast but will also predispose you to diseases.

• Laugh often

Laughter, they say is the best medicine. Apart from making you look good outwardly, laughter relaxes you and makes you feel good. You strain more facial muscles when u frown and this will over time cause wrinkling and aging.

• Work on your outward appearance

Your carriage is important in making you look young. If you go about with slumped shoulders and a bent back, you definitely will look much older than your age. Having a good poise will help you look younger.
Dress well, comb your hair neatly and wear clean and ironed clothes. Use body creams that are rich in vitamin E. You’ll be surprised at how much you’ll improve your looks just by caring for your outward appearance.
