4 Ways to Prevent Aging Today

Fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, thinning and graying hair, they’re all signs of aging that everyone wants to avoid. It is never too soon to start thinking about taking steps to reduce and prevent these and other signs of aging. There is no magic cure for wrinkles and science has yet to discover a way to stop the aging process, but with these four simple steps, you can keep your hair, skin, and body looking and feeling its youngest.

You can start making these easy changes today to prevent aging.

Hydrate One of the easiest ways to fight aging is with hydration. Your skin needs proper moisture levels to maintain elasticity and plumpness. This helps diminish fine lines and wrinkles and contributes to a healthy glow. Add moisturizer to your routine if you don’t already use it daily. To give your skin a moisture boost, use a heavier moisturizer before bed. Hydration isn’t just for the surface of your skin either. Your body needs plenty of water to keep it running smoothly and reduce the effects of age.

Eat the Right Foods The nutrients and antioxidants found in certain foods can have a big impact on your skin’s appearance and other signs of aging. Adding healthy foods and drinks to your diet can make you look and feel younger. Look for foods that are high in vitamins like A, E, and C or find options that contain healthy omega fatty acids. Nourishing your body

will help firm skin, reduce lines, and give your hair and skin a healthy glow. Check out this list of anti-aging foods from Fitness Magazine.

Use Sunscreen As much as you might love the sun, your skin can’t handle too much of it. The sun can cause damage, age spots, and wrinkles. Wearing sunscreen can help reduce these negative effects and prevent signs of aging. Use a daily version to help protect you year round. If you’ll be spending a lot of time outdoor, opt for a higher SPF version. Pick one with moisturizing ingredients and you can get an extra boost of hydration too.

Switch Coffee for Tea The anti-aging benefits of tea have been celebrated for hundreds of years, but recent reports have shown a direct link between tea consumption and improvements in skin elasticity and texture. White and green teas have the highest levels of antioxidants so try adding a cup or two to your daily routine. Teas contain some caffeine too so making the switch shouldn’t be too hard.
