5 Surefire Ways to Stay Young, Healthy & Happy!

Most people, especially women, consider ageing to be the ultimate 'enemy'. No matter what the underlying reasons are behind your not wanting to age, it is a fact that you would have to face sooner or later.

However, the way that you live your life and take care of yourself would go a long way towards delaying the ageing process. Whether it's for health reasons or for cosmetic reasons that you want to prevent the signs of ageing from showing on your face, here are five surefire ways on how you can stay young, healthy and happy:

1. Watch what you eat.

This may sound like cliché advice but you are what you eat. Remember that as you age, your metabolism will not be as fast as when you are younger, so there could already be some restrictions to your diet.

If there are no underlying health reason which prevent you from consuming certain food items, then make sure to eat a lot of fruits and veggies, seafood, whole grain cereals, beans and just enough protein from red meat to create an overall healthy diet.

2. Minimize your consumption of sugary or salty foods.

Not only will eating a lot of sugary foods mess up your diet, but too much of it may also cause you to have medical conditions like diabetes. The same thing applies to having too much salt in your diet - it can lead to developing kidney stones. A moderate balance between sugar and salt is always a good compromise.

3. Take the vitamin supplements that you need.

Ask your doctor to prescribe vitamin supplements to make up for whatever nutrient it is which is lacking in your diet.

4. Boost up on antioxidants.

One of the best ways to reverse the signs of aging from showing on your face and body is by boosting up on antioxidants. Eat a lot of fruits and veggies which have a high antioxidant content.

5. Try to minimize your exposure to the sun.

If you want to prevent sun damage from showing sun spots and age spots on your skin, try to minimize your exposure to the sun as much as possible. If it can't be helped, always wear sun protection.

These are just five ways to help reverse the signs of ageing from showing on your face and your body. By eating healthy, living well and taking good care of yourself, you can stay young, healthy and happy no matter how seemingly 'old' you think you are!
