• Start your healthy living habits early. You can
  slow down aging by beginning to take care
  of yourself early enough. Avoid smoking, drinking
  alcohol, or abusing drugs. This means you should
  never use any form of drug including alcohol and
  caffeine. Also, avoid second-hand smoke because
  the chemicals contained in second-hand smoke can
  age you
• Do not let your weight fluctuate drastically
  over a short period because weight loss and gain
  stretches the skin and causes it to hang and
  wrinkle later in life.
• Include lots of fresh fruits and vegetables in
  your diet. Foods such as blueberries, beans, and
  walnuts are rich in antioxidants that help
  detoxify the body. Buy vegetables with bright
  skins because of their high antioxidant content,
  which helps repair damaged cells. Also,
  antioxidants help prevent heart diseases,
  Alzheimers and cancer. Eat as much naturally
  grown foods as possible to avoid contamination

• Avoid stress to age gracefully. Stick to a
  daily exercise regimen such as working out for at
  least half an hour every day to burn fats and
  tone your muscles. Exercise helps improve blood
  circulation, maintains blood sugar levels,
  improves stamina, and boosts immunity. Exercising
  will also help you sleep more peacefully at
  night.
• Practice yoga and meditation to relax your mind
  and maintain your emotional well-being. Relieve
  stress by practicing deep breathing, which helps
  to improve blood circulation and boost energy
  levels.
• Drink at least eight glasses of water every day
  to help your body flush toxins and improve the
  health of body organs such as the skin. Avoid
  drinking carbonated and caffeinated water because
  they dehydrate the body.
• Regularly undertake skin cleansing and
  exfoliation. Massage your face and neck with
  castor oil to firm muscles and improve the skin
  tone of your face. Apply sunscreen and
  moisturizer to protect your skin from the
  elements.

• Get at least eight hours of undisturbed,
  peaceful sleep every day to allow the body to
  rest and rejuvenate. Getting adequate sleep will
  improve your concentration and sharpness reflexes
  as well as help regulate hormones and reduce
  stress.
• Avoid drinking tea, coffee, or soda because
  they stain the teeth and may cause dental
  cavities. Aging gracefully involves taking care
  of your teeth as well to ensure dental health.
• Go for regular hair trimming and conditioning
  treatment. Consider taking hair vitamins if you
  notice that your hair is receding or thinning.
  Use safe and professional hair care products.
