| Slowing down the Aging Process |

Lifestyle changes can slow the aging process. Here are some anti aging tips:
Regular facials with massage can help increase the skin's circulation.
Firming masks and hydrating treatments with mild exfoliation will also help to rejuvenate the skin's appearance.Intrinsic Aging which occurs with natural passage of Time.
Consistent use of moisturizers and products containing anti-aging staples like retinoids, AHA's, antioxidants, and humectants will help to reduce the signs of aging skin on the face and neck, and the ravages of hormone loss.
Drink 6-8 glasses of purified or spring water each day to keep your body hydrated inside and out.
Make reducing stress a priority. When you are stressed your body produces large amounts of cortisol, a steroid hormone that causes you to produce excess oil, which clogs glands and can lead to acne. Reduce stress by talking to your friends at least once a week, find reasons to laugh every day, work out at the gym and get the rest your body needs. Some doctors maintain that a good sex life can reduce stress and lower cortisol levels.

Are we in control of our aging?
Aging is psychological as well as physical. It begins at an early age. People who live fuller, longer lives have certain basic attributes. This has been proven in recent results from the longest and most comprehensive study of human development ever undertaken. This study was done at Harvard and began in 1920. It followed a group of individuals from their teens into their 80’s.
The results found that there are four attributes that are vital to successful aging:
The ability to anticipate, to plan and to hope.
Seeing the glass as half-full, not half-empty and living in an attitude of gratitude, forgiveness and optimism.
The ability to imagine the world as it seems to other people.
The ability to reach out to other people, to want to interact with other people positively.
Dr. George E. Vaillant, the director of the Harvard study, points out seven keys to aging well. People who had four or more of these seven factors by age 50 were one-third less likely to be dead by the age of 80. People with three or fewer of these factors by age 50 were three times as likely to die during the following 30 years.
Here are the seven factor to aging well:
1. Not smoking, or quitting early: "Smoking is probably the most significant factor in terms of health."
2. The ability to take life’s ups and downs in stride: Adapt a coping style that let’s you roll with the punches. Keep your sense of humor, learn new things and have fun, give of yourself and make friends with people who are younger than you are.
3. Don’t abuse alcohol: over indulging in alcohol can destroy your physical and mental health.
4. Maintaining a strong marriage: the study showed that, if people are willing to work through their problems, marriages improve over time and contribute to a long and happy life.
5. Maintain a healthy weight: being over weight is a risk factor to good health.
6. Physical activity: The Harvard study showed that even doing some exercise improves both mental and physical health.
7. Continued education: Dr. Vaillant says that "People seek education because they believe it is possible to control the course of their lives." People who are interested in "self care and perseverance are more likely to continue their eduction.
Facial Expressions: You can blame
all those furrows and crow's feet on your facial movement.
Control your expressions by changing the way you emote.
Try not to grimace or frown too much- break the habit
now!
Good News: It just takes 14 muscles
to smile, but over 70 muscles to frown.
Gravity: It doesn't just work
on the apple, it works on your skin too! The earth's
gravitational pull is responsible for the gradual elongation
of our earlobes and nose. With age we lose underlying
fat, so that the eyelids and jowls start to droop. Our
bones shrink, resulting in loose sagging skin. Major weight
loss also contributes to gravity inducing wrinkles -
so avoid a drastic weight change in a short period of
time. Bodies that are well toned and muscular age better
than bodies that are not.
Good News: Yoga can be used to a
certain extent as a preventive measure since it involves
anti-gravity exercises. Meditate on that.
Sleeping Position: The average person
sleeps for one-fourth to one-third of his or her life.
By the age of 60 a person would have slept for at least
20 years. So each night you spend six to eight hours pressing
wrinkles to form. Chinese women slept on their back using
concave porcelain pillows so that their heads don’t
sink to cause wrinkles. You can sleep on your back, on
propped up pillows and place cushions under your knees
to give you support. Invest in a silky smooth satin pillow
cover so that your skin does not stick to it like it does
to cotton.
