How To Get Younger Looking Skin

It’s no secret at all how younger looking skin is achieved. It’s not all about the expensive beauty products that you put on your face or the make up that you put on to cover skin discoloration, wrinkles and other imperfections.

With or without makeup, premature aging will show. It’s better to get down to the root of the problem so you will know how to solve it.

What are the steps that you can take to get younger looking skin?

Turn inward. Give yourself the pampering that you deserve. Get a massage. Start a hobby. Do what makes you happy. When you love what you are doing, you avoid stress and mood swings.

Take note of environmental factors. Internal aging is based on our genes. We will grow old whether we like it or not so deal with it. When it comes to external aging though, we can do something about it. External aging is brought about by a lot of factors including the effect of UV rays on our skin and pollution on our health. So do your share. Avoid the sun, use sunscreen, don’t squint and drink at least eight glasses of water a day.

Also, be aware of the top anti-aging foods such as avocado, berries, cruciferous vegetables, garlic, ginger, nuts, soya, pasta and rice, watermelon. Include it in your diet so you’ll get enough vitamins A, C and E, vitamins that are known to contain antioxidants. Antioxidants repair the damage caused by free radicals and even prevent it. When free radicals remain unchecked, that damage they caused to your cells may even become cancerous.

Aiming for overall health will show in your outward appearance. Makeup wouldn’t hide the fact that you feel sluggish or tired. Start making healthy changes from the inside out.

Anti aging for your brain

Superfoods for your brain ward off the effects of aging

We’ve all had days when we didn’t feel like we were ‘on our game.’ And as we age, both our bodies and our brains grow old as well. By making smart food choices though, we can preserve our precious gray matter longer and improve brain function. Here are some brainy choices for keeping our noggins in tip-top shape.

Blueberries have been shown to shield the brain from stress, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease. Research has also shown that diets rich in blueberries significantly improved both the learning capacity and motor skills.

Avocados, though considered a ‘fatty fruit,’ contribute to healthy blood flow and decreased blood pressure, lessening the chances of developing hypertension, which can lead to a stroke.

Deep-water fish, such as salmon is a wise, freshwater fish choice. It’s abundant in omega-3 essential fatty acids, which are essential for healthy brain function.

Nuts and seeds are good sources of vitamin E, an important vitamin needed by your brain to stave off declining cognitive functions. Cashews, peanuts, walnuts, sunflower and sesame seeds and almonds are all great choices.

Whole-grain breads, brown rice, and oatmeal also contribute to a healthy brain by reducing the risk for cardiac disease. By promoting a healthy heart and improved blood flow, the brain is sure to thrive via excellent oxygen and nutrient delivery through the bloodstream. Complex carbohydrates also supply the brain with a steady stream of glucose that enhances brain function. It’s important to avoid simple carbohydrates often found in junk food because the glucose gives the brain a short-lived sugar high, often followed by a crash that makes you feel hungry and tired.

Freshly brewed tea also has potent antioxidants, especially the class known as catechines, which also promotes healthy blood flow. Since black teas do contain caffeine it’s important to use it sensibly.

Dark chocolate has powerful antioxidant properties, contains several natural stimulants, which enhance focus and concentration, and encourages the production of endorphins, which helps improve mood. Again, moderation is the key.

The health benefits of cod liver oil for dry skin

Hello-

As a child, you may remember receiving a spoonful of cod liver oil from your grandmother.  While this “spoonful of sugar” didn’t necessarily help the “medicine go down”, it nonetheless was a remedy that was popular at that time.  Today, the benefits of cod liver oil for dry skin are still considered worthwhile.

Cod liver oil contains vitamin A, D, and E which are derived from the liver of the cod.  However, there are some manufacturers of cod liver oil who add Vitamin E in a synthetic form, while others use the original source of these vitamins contained in the liver of the cod.

Vitamin E helps in promoting healthy skin, while Vitamin A can prevent such skin conditions as acne and the like.  Vitamin D helps to lower the toxicity found in Vitamin A.  Since dry skin can results from a deficiency of Vitamin A, these three vitamins found in cod liver oil work in tandem to address the problem effectively.

Cod liver oil can be used as a topical agent or taken in capsule form.  What are the health benefits?  When used topically, cod liver oil allows for the acceleration of healing and overall good skin.  Taken orally, cod liver oil actually maintains the supple soft skin and may prevent aging skin signs such as “liver spots”. This oil also has been known to reduce the number of wrinkles on the skin as well.

While it is evident that the benefits of cod liver oil for dry skin are numerous, it should be noted that because this oil contains Vitamin A and D, that additional supplementation of these vitamins may cause side effects.  Thus, pregnant women should consult their doctors before taking cod liver oil.

In addition, there has been recent news regarding high amounts of mercury found in fish.  However, cod liver oil is tested for over 30 contaminants before it is made available to consumers.  Further, cod liver oil does not contain mercury, which can only be found in fish and not the oil itself.

Finally, choosing the right cod liver oil may take a bit of research on your part as some companies utilize synthetic vitamins in the processing of this oil.  There are well known brands of cod liver oil which you can find online or via your pharmacist that contain the appropriate amount of Vitamin A, D, and E.

With the crazy weather we have been having lately, most of which has probably contributed to dry skin, it is clear that cod liver oil not only helps prevent this condition but has been used for other ailments as well.  Just ask grandma!
