11 Things You Didn’t Know Could Literally Slow Down Aging

Many people drink and smoke and live to old age. However, that’s the exception- not the rule. The people who drink and smoke regularly aren’t doing any favors to their body or youthfulness, though.

To have healthy skin and healthy insides, you will want to limit or completely eliminate smoking or drinking if you are doing these on a daily basis. Since these substances can be highly addictive, reach out to an addiction counselor if you need help and develop a support system for yourself to help you stay on track.

4. Taking Supplements.

You need to give your body all of the nutrients it needs in order to really slow down the aging process.

On certain days, you may not get a fully balanced diet, so give your body anything it might be missing in the form of daily supplements.

In particular, you want to be sure to get vitamin B, vitamin C, vitamin E, and vitamin D. Vitamin B is important for energy and brain function. Vitamin C and vitamin E are known to enhance the immune system, keeping you from getting sick. Vitamin D helps support bone health, something that becomes ever more important as we age.

5. Eating A Healthy Diet.

Simply put, when we put healthy things into our bodies, it will help us look and feel younger. After all, the things we put into our bodies radiate on the outside.

So focus on eating fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein in order to slow down the aging process.

Buy organic foods if possible and eliminate processed foods if you can. You should also try to get rid of any empty calories, such as potato chips and fries. These foods don’t give you any nutrients. And even though it can be hard not to indulge every now and then, make it a rare occurrence and eat junk food in smaller portions.

There are many healthy ways to feed the body. You can do it sparingly in intervals using the intermittent fasting method, or you can eat healthy foods that are known to help aid in weight loss.

6. Religious Skincare Routine.

Did you know that the skin is the largest organ of the body? It’s also the organ of the body that shows age first.

So you need to make a point to take care of your skin every single day with a thoughtful skincare routine. One thing to emphasize every day is moisturizer. Use it every day.

You should also look into different masks and deep cleansers. Learn about your own skin to learn if you have dry skin or oily skin. Pick products appropriately and make sure to follow your skincare routine every single day to see the effects you want.

7. Protecting Yourself From The Sun.

One of the things that will dry out and age your skin more than anything else is the sun. You should make a point to protect yourself from the sun properly. Use sunscreen on sunny days and reapply when necessary.

You should also use hats and any cover-ups at all times, even on cloudy days. If you like how a tan looks on you, try spray tan or tanning lotion instead of going out into the sun. Since the sun helps create vitamin D, make sure you get the vitamin in other ways.

8. Pay Attention To Dental Hygiene.

One aspect many people tend to forget about is their dental health because bad teeth can also make you look older.

Make a point to brush your teeth twice a day, make flossing your teeth a regular ritual, use mouth wash, and visit a dentist twice a year. This will help make you feel more confident, smile more, and look younger.

9. Social Stimulation.
