A Guide to Healthy Aging
Tips on Aging With Grace
Our Health in America.
Most of our health is not controlled by the health care system but by our own actions, our environment, our genes, and social factors. In addition, physicians are not perfect; medical errors do happen. The more patients participate in their own health care, the more satisfied they tend to be with the care they receive.
Healthy Skin
- Foods rich in Vitamin C and Zinc all promote anti-aging.
- Oils rich in Omega 3 produce anti-aging abilities and tighten the skin reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Cutting back on processed foods and sugars have been known to reduce inflammation in the skin and produce a normal dermal cell found in our pores and follicles.
- DRINK WATER. It, not only, can help you lose weight, but it will hydrate your skin to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Healthy Body & Mind
- Exercise. This can lead to fewer heart risks, improved sleep and memory, less depression and pain, better bone strength, and fewer falls.
- A healthy diet can lead to a better body. Load up on fruits, veggies, and fish to improve the mind and body, while slowing down body deterioration.
- Ditch the cigarettes. Smoking can cause premature wrinkles, as well as brittle our bones. Smoking can cause many different types of cancers and cause our lungs to turn black. Not only is smoking a bad habit, it's bad for our bodies, inside and out.
Slow Down the Hands of Time.
- Reduce Stress. Stress can lead to problematic skin and even sickness.
- Sleep. Humans can go longer without food than without sleep. Lack of sleep can cause depression, irritability, memory loss, and increase your risk of falling.
- Engage in your community. Studies show that people who are active in their community tend to be less depressed and, overall, healthier than the adults who don't.
