Effective ways to fight the aging process

If you are one of the millions of women who wonder how to stop ageing or reverse ageing. Here is a few natural tips to consider. Not only is it down to the basics but it works in fighting the aging process.

Sesame oil

It is good to apply and massage sesame oil each morning all over your body. It hydrates your skin while gets your blood circulation. Leaving a healthy and visible glow. Then take a shower to wash the dead skin away

Others would prefer olive oil for the same reasons. But leaving it on for a few hours makes it soft well nourished and fights the aging process.

Fish oil

It is good to consider fish oil as it is high in omega 3 and also considered a good source of anti inflammatories. Not only does it improve your immune system but helps your hair grow. Your skin looks more soft and supple. Consider 500mg daily and see the difference yourself. 

Sugar

Sugar is considered a culprit in premature aging. It speeds up the aging process as it causes sagging and wrinkles. Instead consider it as a scrub. Just add it to your cleanser while in the shower. Add a handful of sugar. Your skin will feel smoother.

Remember your eye area.

Face creams can be very harsh for your skin area. But using a cream or gel that is made for that sensitive eye area is considered best. it helps erase fine lines around the eye area without being harsh on the skin.

Don't forget your hands

It isn't only your face that can give your age away. Most will spend lots of time and money on their face and neck. Yet hands are forgotten. But considering how much we use our hands. Or even how easy it is to notice your hands. So with that in mind ask yourself this. When using a face mask why not apply some on your hands too? Or even when you exfoliate it is good to remember that you can treat your hands to some of that pampering too.

Consider a vitamin C cream

Not only will it help repair your skin but as it has a natural sunscreen protection. When added with your SPF cream it gives even more protection from the sun. The sun's harmful uv rays is also a reason people can age prematurely.

Water

I know I have repeatedly said this. But water is one of the most effective ways to hydrate your skin from within. It also helps your body gets rid of toxins. 

Eating habits

Remember this one simple rule when considering your eating habits. You become what you eat. It basically means this. What you digest will either benefit to your health. Or will be unhealthy for you. The choice is yours. So add more fruit and vegetables and less unhealthy foods.

Exercise

If you consider exercising your benefit your beauty and health at the same time. So don't be surprised that it s also mentioned. It even helps you to improve your immunity. 

Think happy thoughts

Be like Wendy and Peter Pan. Think happy thoughts. It makes a difference on your outlook on life. It does make a difference on your health and aging too. Your thoughts are so powerful. Make a difference by changing your thoughts to healthy and beneficial ones.

Extra tips to remember

Use your prefered facial cleanser. Wash your face gently dry your skin and apply your moisturiser that you prefer before sleeping. Night time is the time your skin repairs itself. Be realistic. You dont need a long beauty routine to see the difference. No need for a ten step program. Simplicity can sometimes be the best.

But as for me. 

I also say embrace who you are. Being overly critical of who you are or how you look has no benefits. Think about it. If you are not comfortable in your own skin. Then who will? Remember that you live in your own skin. So learn to be comfortable with who you are. If it means making changes then do it. But don't do it for others. Do it for you. You deserve it. But commit to it and change your life as you want it to be.

No artificial flavors. No artificial preservatives. No sugar. No to white flour also. No foods that has too much salt. No meats, that includes fish beef and poultry. No dairy products.

Other foods you can think of is whole grains, seeds, nuts. Healthier oils such as olive, canola, peanut and sesame oil. All whole grains are approved in this diet. Consider vegan diet foods as meal ideas.

Canned foods that doesnt have no sugars or preservatives can be added. Do remember the Daniel diet is about no meats too.  But as you are restricted from eating meat during this time it means you must find your proteins elsewhere. So it is good to think about adding beans nuts and seeds to your diet.Which is why I suggest vegan recipe ideas for a 21 day weight loss plan. Dont stick to one certain fruit or vegetable. It is about eating different fruits and vegetables as it has so many different nutrients. 

What you can drink 

Only fluids that you can drink is water. Yes it means no coffee tea, even herbal teas. Just pure water is approved. It also means no sodas or juice. Even if it says 100 pure juice. Not surprising if you consider the benefits of water. You can read about the benefits of water here.
