Anti aging tips with Oprah and Dr. Oz

Hello-

Oprah and Dr. Oz just had a show with anti aging tips that I thought were insightful.  Instead of taking 10-20 different types of vitamins and supplements, they condensed it all down into 5.  You can see more about the show here, make sure you take a look at the anti aging checklist.

The five main topics you need to be concerned about concerning aging were food, exercise, meditation, sleep and sex, and vitamins.

Most of the advice was not complicated and most of it will not take hours and hours of your time.  Take for example meditation, you can meditate in as little as five minutes a day and it will help reduce your stress levels.  Meditation can also help lower your blood pressure.

Sleep was another one of the main ways to combat premature aging.  Make sure you get 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night.  Getting adequate sleep will help you lose weight as well.  It’s been proven in several studies.  If you have sleep problems, you will more than likely be overweight.

All these things work together too.  If you exercise more, you’ll sleep better and feel like having more sex.  If you lose weight and meditate, your stress levels will decrease and you’ll sleep better and feel like having more sex.  And then all you have to do is add a few healthy foods rich in antioxidants such as red wine, green tea, blueberries, acai berries, and walnuts.

Take care of yourself.

Re: How to get healthy skin and a healthy body for 2008

2008 is almost here and it’s time to start thinking about how we want to change our lives to make sure we live longer, happier, and healthier. Many of the top New Year’s resolutions people make each year – lose weight, eat right, get fit, drink less alcohol, and reduce stress – all have an impact on how we age.

This is important to keep in mind. If you’re reading this blog, you want to know about anti aging and how to get healthy skin and how to live longer. The keys to doing that are all summed up in those New Year’s resolutions we fail to keep each year – year in and year out. By reducing the stress in your life or how you handle it, you can reduce the appearance of premature aging and wrinkles on your skin and face. By eating right – eating more fruits and vegetables – you can boost your collagen production which will help keep your skin firm and supple.

Losing weight will prevent numerous health and age related problems the being overweight causes.

Getting fit by exercising – walking, running, swimming, playing sports – will help you deal with stress and provide a healthy release for you instead of consuming alcohol.

All these issues work together to take care of your body and if you choose to stick with these resolutions you will look better, your skin will feel better and not require hundreds of dollars of expensive anti aging face creams.

So here’s to the end of 2007 and the beginning of 2008.

Have a safe, healthy, and prosperous New Year!

A simple tip to help with anti aging

Hello-

One of the leading causes of aging is stress.  Too much stress in your life can cause premature aging and it can make you overweight and make you look much older than you really are.  The earlier in life you learn how to manage the stress in your life, the better off you’ll look.

I want to share a short article with you today about dealing with stress.

How to deal with stress: smile

There have been tons of studies one to show that smiling makes us feel better.  Just the physical act of smiling improves our mood and helps shift our thoughts from negative to positive.  Sure, we usually smile when we’re happy already, but studies have shown that the smiling helps uplift our spirits and improve our mood even when it’s forced or if we don’t know we’re doing it at all!

Sure, smiling makes you feel better, but how does that help de-stress someone else?  Next time you walk past someone on the street or in a hallway, try this experiment: look at them, smile, and then watch their face.  Chances are they’ll smile back.  When someone smiles at us, we tend to smile, whether it’s on purpose or just by instinct.   Smiling is contagious, and as I already said, just the act of smiling makes that person feel better about life.  Sure, the smile’s probably forced, but it works either way.

Want to know what’s even more infectious than a smile?  A positive attitude.  If we think positively, and point out the good things in life, we encourage others around us to do so to.  Since smiling puts us in a better mood, we’re not only spreading stress relief through getting other people to smile, we’re also doing it my spreading our good mood.  That makes smiling a double whammy.

Are you more likely to be friends with a person who smiles and is kind to you or someone who is always busy, stressed, and never pays attention to you?  Hopefully you answered the person who is kind to you.  Being pleasant and smiling at a person makes them more likely to open up and be friends with you, and friends are a fantastic stress reliever.  It gives us someone to share problems with, relax with, or just blow off steam to.  Don’t stop smiling once someone is your friend.  A smile can be a silent show of support or a reminder of friendship.

So, what’re you waiting for?  Help de-stress someone around you while giving your cheeks a workout.  Smile!

There you have – a simple tip you can use to help fight off the appearance of aging and wrinkles.  Smile and laugh for no reason throughout your day.  See how much more enjoyable your day will be.

Treatments for premature aging – So many choices, so little time.

With so many products out there, how do you choose one?

There are so many choices…

  • Over the counter products
  • Prescription products
  • Do it yourself (DIY) products
  • Skin peels
  • Surgery
  • Combination of any of these
  • And on and on

In my opinion surgery should be a last resort but I know it is not for many women out there. 

I have searched high and low for many more hours than I wish to count for products that work.  I have read so many reviews both good and bad about high priced products that make so many promises but deliver little results and then there are some that actually work. 

There is one caveat though – your mileage may vary.  What works for one person will not work for another.  One can cause smooth beautiful skin in one person and cause acne in another.  Factors affecting your results are: your race, ethnicity, and genetics.  These help determine your skin type.

What I’ve found is that you need to take a combined approach to fighting off the signs of aging.  Some of it is unavoidable as we age but we can minimize the damage as we go along waiting for the latest and greatest products to come along. 

The main components of this recommended skin care regimen are going to be eating foods that help produce collagen, Vitamin C, sunscreen, DIY products, Obagi products, Retin A, Hydroquinone, and reducing some of the causes of aging in the first place – too much unprotected sun exposure, smoking and bad eating habits.

Now you may have heard about some of these products and you may have tried some of them already.  What I want to share with you is results that others have had with their skin care regimens and how you may incorporate some of these ideas in your own skin care regimen if you’re not getting the results you want.
