“Aging gracefully” is one of those phrases that sounds terrific until you actually try it. Growing old is a difficult task, one that never gives you a break. As you do start to grow older, though, you can do a lot to make the rest of your life healthier and more enjoyable.
Be sure to keep learning new things and this will keep your mind working. The elderly are known to be the wisest people, and it is important for you to continue to develop your wisdom. You may want to consider taking a class at your community college or just work on a crossword puzzle each day. No matter what you do, it will allow your mind to work and help keep you feeling mentally sharp.
Do not preoccupy yourself with numbers. Doctors are paid well to think about things such as your age, weight and height. Dwelling on your body’s condition will just stress you out and make it harder for you to enjoy life.
Increase the amount of time you spend working out. As your body gets older, it needs to stay active more to remain strong and flexible. Commit to walking a half hour a day, every weekday. Mix in some strength training exercises at least two times per week. Having a routine like this will keep your body healthy, and make you less susceptible to problems associated with age.
Powder makeup and foundation plays a big role in making your skin look older. So try to avoid using it. Hydration only gets more important as your skin ages, so the effects get more severe. Consider how simple cosmetics, such as lip gloss, mascara, and eye liner can fit into your lifestyle.
