Working on skin.
As you age, the first and immediate sign will show on the skin and its appearance of wrinkles. With age and improper beauty regime, our skin becomes dry and rough which leads to wrinkles. The thin lines around our eyes are noticeable signs of ageing which are called crow's feet. The sun damage adds to the misery in the form of discolouration. Follow the 3-step beauty routine of scrubbing, toning, moisturizing and later slathering on plenty of sunscreen. And if wrinkles are bothering you a bit too much, botox isn't a bad option either. Olive oil also works wonders in banishing wrinkles.
Exercising and checking weight.
Exercising must go according to the weight gain and health experts say that one must aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate activity a day. Yoga, aerobics, swimming, Pilates, etc any one of them should be done regularly. Leena Mogre, fitness expert, says, "As you cross 30, a good mix of exercise is important. " sticking physical activity will benefit our bodies in a great way. Do not forget facial exercises to firm your facial muscles.
Eating plant based diet
dieting is not mean being on a same kind of food but experimenting and mixture of green vegetables, fruits, whole grains and beans. "try to choose foods that represent a rainbow of colours, such as spinach, corn, tomatoes, bell pepper, strawberries, blueberry and grapes. Your food plate should have at least 75 per cent plant based food and rest should be lower fat sources of protein such as eggs, fish or meat. This diet helps you fight evils of ageing such as osteoporosis, diabetes and heart disease," says dietician.
Adding calcium.
Adding Vitamin D in our everyday diet prevents osteoporosis which is the leading cause of bone fractures in women. Especially if you have crossed the age of 50, a daily dose of 1200 mg of calcium is necessary. Good dose of calcium include low-fat dairy products, calcium-fortified soymilk, orange juice, and fish with edible bones (like canned salmon or sardines). You can talk to your doctor to know if you need additional supplements.
Drink in moderation
Drinking limited amount of alcohol prevents heart disease is well known saying among medical fraternity. Consuming alcoholic beverages can interfere with the effectiveness of certain medications. It also may increase the risk for some cancers. Limit alcoholic beverages if you are bent on drinking by having not more than a few pegs a day.
Good rest
Sleep is very important for the human body. Some of us may sleep for barely 5-6 hours at night, others maybe sound asleep for as much as 9-10 hours. A human body needs a minimum of 7 to 8 hours of sleep a day. Instead of battling sleep in the daytime, take short power naps of 10-15 minutes as they too will make you feel rested.
