SKIN CARE AND AGING SECRETS: DON'T LET AGING MAKE YOU FEEL OLDER!

There are many stereotypes based on seniors, such as the short-sighted, stooped, little, elderly man or the little, old, hard-of-hearing lady. Older people are now living enjoyable lives unhindered by age.  The following tips will help you be a person who is living healthy and aging gracefully.
Minimize the negative effects of aging by consuming foods that are rich in fiber. Fiber can help to prevent the accumulation of toxins in the digestive system. This helps slow digestion and helps lower bad cholesterol to keep your blood sugar stable during the day. Foods high in fiber are like a tonic for your whole digestive system.
Many of the disadvantages of aging including weight gain, loss of energy, and memory problems can be mitigated by living a healthy life and staying fit. A well-balanced diet in combination with some form of physical activity can stimulate your mind and body in a positive way.
Make sure your hormones are at normal levels while aging. Loss of hormones in your body can cause all sorts of problems, including low exercise tolerance and depression as well as a decrease in endurance and your sex drive. You may need to speak with your doctor about hormone replacement therapy and starting a regimen of your own.
Encourage your mind to stay active through learning. Older people are wiser, so you should work on furthering your intelligence as you grow. You could take a course at a local community college or just read lots of books on what really interests you. What's important is that you are always alert and thinking.
Creating and maintaining healthy relationships is important to healthy aging. Being involved in your community has been shown to help people have a healthier and longer life span. Focusing on those who you can emotionally depend on is the best part of social interactions.
Stay young forever with exercise. Research proves that individuals who exercise regularly are at a lowered risk of signs of aging than people who are sedentary. Exercise benefits your body in many different ways, such as improving muscle tone and increasing circulation, while also helping maintain healthy skin and increased stamina.
Adding special, personal touches to the place you live will make it homier. As we age, we may feel differently about our home than we originally intended. If you have moved to a new home, use special things around your living space that make you feel welcome and comfortable.
Try not to fall. Falling injuries are a serious issue among seniors. Walking is a low impact exercise that can really make a difference in your health. For good bone health, make sure to take a calcium supplement and consider weight training.
Many people gain weight as they age. If you remain within your recommended weight range, you reduce your risk of suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, osteoarthritis, and certain forms of cancer. With the right diet and exercise program, you will stay at a good weight.
It is important to visit your doctor to get regular exams. Being examined on a regular basis will let your doctor catch any potential health problems and deal with them before they become too serious. Diseases like cancer are more treatable in the early stages, so it is wise to get checked out just in case.
One key to aging well is to practice good skin care. People over 50 should minimize their sun exposure to prevent damage. Excessive time in the sun can further the progression of wrinkles and skin cancer.
Age really is just a number. People do age differently and your actual age is not as important as your physical condition. If you feel young, then don't let your age convince you otherwise. Your chronological age does not have to determine how old you feel. It is important to realize that age is just a number, and you should live your life to the fullest every day.
It can be a time for you to truly enjoy life more than ever before. If you take these tips to heart, you can live well even when you get up there in years.
