No, there are things you can do starting right now to beat the aging process. Which includes maintaining your youthful looks and vigor well into an age nobody will be able to guess!
These tips are extremely simple- there’s no magic pill here. Read on to find out the five keys tips you should be doing:
Sleep More
Sleeping is one of life’s simple pleasures and something that should come naturally to everyone. However, more than half of the USA’s adult population is chronically sleep deprived. That is, in the sense that they get less than the recommended 8-9 hours nightly, many days running. Sleep is the one thing that everyone has going for them since it is the hit reset button for your body.
During sleep, repair ensues, so that proteins in the skin are fixed, hormone production is ramped up, and the process of rebuilding in general. Chronic sleep deficiency inhibits the ability of the body to fix structural defects. Including in DNA, which can accelerate greying of hair, wrinkling of skin and deterioration of organs.
Get Your Veggies
Eat lots of vegetables. It doesn’t really matter which, but include a variety of different ones, as each brings something different to the table. Most vegetables are extremely low calories, making them perfect for bulk at mealtimes. This means you can eat a lot, and not get a lot of calories. In addition, vegetables are full of fiber, which keep intestinal and colon health on point. As well as tons of anti-oxidants, vitamin, and minerals, which fend off free radicals and compounds that damage DNA and promote aging.
Shed Bad Recreational Hobbies
Sure, watching TV late into the night is a bad hobby, and it is damaging, but it is not bad in the sense we are referring to. The ways we are talking about, relate to drinking, smoking and eating junk food. Excessive alcohol consumption places undue stress on the liver that’s primary job is to remove toxins from the body, and in some cases makes it unable to do its job. This accumulation of toxins is bad for health, and kick-start accelerates the aging process.
Smoking, on the other hand, is worse in many aspects. With negative effects ranging from the lungs to blood vessels and more, smoking can age you 25 years in just 5 years. Nutrient delivery suffers, so skin ages and wrinkles far sooner than it should, and you increase the risk of dying from complications of the lung.
Stay Happy
We don’t expect you to be euphoric all day long, but being happy has proven benefits over being sad, or pouty. This can be explained by endorphins. These feel-good chemicals produced in the brain that boost mood, reduce heart rate and blood pressure, and reduce stress levels as well.
Practicing mindfulness meditation is one of the best ways to develop your appreciation of the little things in life. This will improve your happiness and outlook. Not to mention the fact that frowning just speeds up development of 
wrinkles and fine lines!
Weight Train
A little jogging or cycling is good at any point in life, but in order to diminish the effects of aging, weight training is a must. Not only does muscle help you fill out your clothing, but it can also help prevent skin from sagging, wrinkling, or your posture from stooping.
Nothing screams old like a hunched back and sagging skin, but luckily, weightlifting can delay this for years to come, not only that, but your overall mobility will be kept in check, and you will look great, so hit the weights!
