Okay, today I am turning 44, do I look like 44? how does a 44 years old is supposed to look like? Today is about my birthday and feeling my age.
Many of us still are searching for the Fountain of Youth. We go to all extremes to look younger. We spend endless dollars on surgical face lifts to bioxin treatments. There are other methods, not as drastic, to assist in giving us a more youthful look, make us feel better about ourselves, and not as costly.
Also, looking younger is not always about great skin or a terrific body. Sometimes there are little things we can do to help us appear years younger than what we really are.
The # 1 - Eat a healthy, nutritious diet and drink water every day. You hear it all the time, you are what you eat. Proper nutrition is a key to looking your best and living a longer, healthy life and that is why the new Dietary Guidelines for Americans advises that adults should consume between 9-13 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables a day. But for most people, the expense, time, and effort to consume that many fruits and vegetables is just too great. Juice Plus+ helps us get closer to the goal of 9-13 servings a day by encapsulating the nutritional essence of 17 fresh fruits, vegetables, and grains for our convenience. It can’t get easier than this. Learn to have a positive, rather than negative attitude. The way you think, reflects on the way you look. Frowning causes wrinkles faster than smiling and makes you look less attractive. So, smile a lot. Young people have bright eyes and bright smiles. When you smile it can take years off instantly.
Exercise to improve your shape and muscle tone. Exercise to be fit, trim and feel great longer and of course feel younger.
If you want to appear younger, you have to dress young, but not too young. There is such a thing as going too far. Somebody should know when is too far...
Do not go to the old lady or man department. Stay in the juniors. Do not get carried away though. Keep it young, but not too young. If it looks good on a ten year old, it is not for you. Gggrrrr!!!
Look in current magazines and see what people are wearing, I do. Even if you do not think you can wear it, try it on. Youth is all about trying new things, taking chances and being spontaneous.
Play everyday, let loose your inner child. If you have children or grandchildren play with them watch their funny antics. Pets can also be a source of funny moments, but positive interactions with them also have a beneficial effect on you. Harmonise with your natural surroundings.
While many people would consider dressing in a younger fashion, to be a definite NO, it has been shown that if you look at the age group of 5-10 years younger than your current age, it frequently allows you to adopt the clothing styles and appear to be a younger individual by virtue of association. And that is why I wear and look good with skinny jeans. Plus, really... do I have to care what others think or say? This is how I feel..
I am happy and look young… eat healthy and get all my fruits and vegetables…
Thank you to all those friends and family who remembered me today "my" special day!!
