Secrets to Staying Young
Aging shouldn't be something that you are afraid of. If done right and if the body is well-taken care of, aging can be one of the best things that can happen in your life. After all, this is the time when you will mature.
Aging shouldn't be seen as old but distinguished looking. It need not be haggard but more respectful and conservative. Looking young is a choice that you will make and it will solely depend on you, how you will look and how others will see your coming of age, so to speak.
Although aging is a biological process that is solely dependent on genetics, lifestyle practice also factors in. What you eat, what you drink and what you do with your body— a body that you will probably be stuck with all your life will affect how your body and appearance age.
Here are some of the strategies that you should employ.
Don’t fluctuate your weight
Dieting can be dangerous especially when not done the right way. Eating right is the number one way to achieve young looking skin. This is because there are vitamins and minerals that can be found in foods that are essential in skin renewal and cell regeneration. In addition, fluctuating weight can result in sagging skin, which may lend an older appearance to the skin. The lack of nutrients will also make your body lose its collagen and elastin supply, two chemicals that aid in skin health.
Don't smoke.
Cigarette smoking is bad for your health. If you don’t know that yet then it is high time that you catch up on your literature. In addition to weakening the lungs, putting carcinogenic deposits in your body and increasing your risk to all kinds of illnesses, including a heart problems, smoking can also make you appear haggard and old. This is because smoking rob the body of its stored Vitamin C, a much needed element in cell renewal.
Wear your sunscreen
Shield your self from the harmful rays of the sun. Not only will you be a candidate for skin cancer, you will also have dry withered skin that may eventually develop wrinkles. To protect yourself, wear sunscreens that have SPF of at least 15. If you can put a higher SPF, all the better. It is also good to avoid the sun as much as you can and always carry with you a hat or an umbrella.

Diet and Weight Loss
What is the Raw Food Diet?
Have you started hearing about the Raw Food Diet? It’s gaining popularity and buzz, not just as a diet to lose weight, but a diet for a long and healthy life. We eat so much in the way of processed food that we don’t even stop to think about what we’re putting into our bodies, and how far we’ve come nutritionally from our ancestral, agrarian roots.
A raw food diet means consuming food in its natural, unprocessed form. There are several common-sense rationales for why this is a good idea. Processing and cooking food can take so much of the basic nutritional value away. Think of some of the conventional wisdom you’ve heard about for years, such as: If you cook pasta just to the al dente (or medium) stage, it will have more calories, yes, but it will have more the nutritional value in it than if you cooked it to a well-done stage. Or you probably remember hearing not to peel carrots or potatoes too deeply, because most of the nutrients and values are just under the surface.
The raw food diet means eating unprocessed, uncooked, organic, whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, dried fruits, seaweeds, etc. It means a diet that is at least 75% uncooked! Cooking takes out flavor and nutrition from vegetables and fruits. A raw food diet means eating more the way our ancient ancestors did. Our healthier, more fit ancestors. They cooked very little, and certainly didn’t cook or process fruits and vegetables. They ate them RAW. Their water wasn’t from a tap; it was natural, spring water. Maybe they drank some coconut milk on occasion.
Doesn’t it just make sense that this is how our bodies were meant to eat? It’s a way of eating that’s in harmony with the planet and in harmony with our own metabolisms. Our bodies were meant to work, and need to work to be efficient. That means exercise, certainly, but it also means eating natural, raw foods that require more energy to digest them.
