Anti Aging Remedies - Solutions To Looking Younger

It seems these days anti aging remedies are everywhere. You can take a tablet for just about any part of your body with promises of miraculous cures and youthful looks. Many of these claims are of course bogus but there is some truth to it and this is where we will look into in this hub. If you do a search on any of the main search engines for the word anti aging, you’ll see that most of the results are for anti aging skin care products or wrinkle busters which also come in the form of creams which you apply to your face or other parts of the body. These creams are made by huge pharmaceutical companies who make billions of dollars each and every year from people who want to look younger.

Anti Aging Creams
Most of these creams in the past were junk and didn’t really do anything for your appearance but these days if they say they have anti aging wrinkles properties then they had better prove it. In short, read the label of anything you buy which claims to make you 10 years or more younger. You’ll find that most of these creams are just packed with vitamin E & vitamin C which you can get elsewhere for a 10th of the cost, so do some research before you fork out your hard earned money for these products and remember that if you really want anti aging methods then you’ll need to change your diet and take some exercise, just doing these two things can make you look 10 to 15 years younger and you’ll feel better too. So what are the best things you could do to have better longevity & what anti aging supplements should you take to stop the aging process? Some of us are now starting to use IP6 Inositol which has been known to rid the body of excess metals which some believe is a major cause of aging.

Weight & Exercise
Firstly, you’re going to have to accept that looking younger is going to take some work, its not as hard as most people make it out to be but it still involves just a little bit of extra effort & is probably one of the best anti aging remedies out there. If you’re overweight then you’ll need to get to you optimum weight or two pounds under it. I say two pounds under it because it’s been proven that people who are lean live way longer than people who are overweight or average weight. Yes, you hear correctly, even if you are a few pounds over your proper weight, you could be taking 15 years off your life. So, in short, most of us will need to lose some weight.

Rest Leads to Rust
If you’ve tried to lose weight but have failed time and time again, don’t worry. Most of the people who tell you how to lose weight are making money from you in one way or another; they’re trying to push the latest exercise machine on you or some other super duper fitness product. The truth is that you don’t need all this; you only need a few items at most. So, if you need to lose weight start walking three times a week for at least 5 miles or more, you’ll need to swing your arms while walking for maximum benefit, this act alone will burn up to 20% more fat. Make sure you drink a mug of green tea beforehand as green tea interacts with fat and muscle and will burn off more fat when you are exercising. You can take a rest anytime but remember that rest leads to rust so it’s better keep active for as long as you can.

Strengthen Your Inner Core
Next, look into getting an AB toning belt; I think Slender-tone are the best ones on the market so look for the latest belt from them. Wear the belt twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening with at least 6 hours in between uses. Once you get into a routine, you’ll find that the fat starts to fall off and that’s with no gym, no strenuous exercise or anything like that. This all happens because its been proven that walking at a fast pace burns off more fat than if you were running or jogging and the fact that your inner core muscles are also being strengthened also burns off even more fat. After about six months you should be back to the weight you were in your 20’s, i.e. your optimum weight. Remember, you must do a fast walk at least three times a week for this to work so get walking.


Water – 8 Glasses Filtered
We simply don’t drink enough of it and this is why many elderly are sick. Most people in their old age are dehydrated, they don’t drink the recommended 8 or more glasses of water a day and this is a shame because if they did, then they wouldn’t get sick so often. As well as keeping the body hydrated, water is also essential for the skin. So if you want to look younger then you’re going to have to get into the habit of drinking at least 8 glasses of the stuff a day. Also, make sure this water is filtered as there are lots of impurities such as bacteria and heavy metals in most tap water.

Anti aging Supplements
Always make sure you take a high quality vitamin supplement which should contain all of your required vitamins. There are many great multivitamin supplements available today so make sure you start taking them. Almost everyone who starts taking multivitamins reports a marked improvement in their health including their looks.

Vitamin C – Internally
Vitamin C which is also known as ascorbic acid is very important to the overall maintenance of the body. As humans we don’t have the ability to make your own vitamin C so we need to obtain it from different food sources. Vitamin C is essential for collagen production and because we can’t retain it, we need to keep replenishing it. Vitamin C in facial creams doesn’t seem to work because vitamin C doesn’t have any real shelf life and quickly breaks down, so save your money and start eating vitamin C rich fruits & vegetables like oranges and broccoli.

Vitamin E
This vitamin is without a doubt one of the most important vitamins when it comes to keeping omega 3 from oxidizing. So without vitamin E any omega 3 in your system will oxidise and release free radicals which isn’t good if you want to look young as free radicals can cause all sort of damage as well as giving you a mass of wrinkles. The shelf life of this vitamin is very good so you can apply it topically to your face and others area of the body in the form of a cream. Many companies are now introducing Vitamin E into their creams and more and more people are starting to realize the importance of this wonder vitamin. Another health product worth taking a look at is Acai Extract.

Vitamin D3
The importance of this vitamin can’t be stressed more, its without a doubt one of the most important of all vitamins. Vitamin D is also known as the sunshine vitamin and has recently been studied by scientists for its disease preventing role. Its been shown to have a positive effect on the following diseases, Osteoporosis, Cancer, Alzheimer's Disease, Diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis and Hypertension. It’s one of the most important anti aging remedies and everyone who doesn’t get enough sunshine everyday should supplement with D3.

Health experts now agree that we should get around 20 minutes a day of sunshine on our face and arms to get the beneficial amount of D3 in our bodies. However, most of us don’t get anywhere near this amount and recent studies have found that people living in northern latitudes are getting more diseases such as cancer and heart disease due to the lack of sunshine in these northern climates. Its also recently been noted that with the scare of skin cancer making the rounds, most of us put on high factor sun creams which not only blocks dangerous UV rays but also blocks out the good vitamin D creating sunshine. The only really way around this is to supplement with vitamin D3 every day.

Turmeric
Turmeric has long been known for its unique health benefits in Asia and has recently made its entrance into the west. It’s used as a yellow spice color in rice and other foods but it’s much more than just a colorant. Turmeric contains curcumin which is a close relative to polyphenols which is an antioxidant. Because of its unique antioxidant properties, Turmeric is now thought to be excellent for preventing cardiac problems, cancer and age related brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Indians use it almost every day in their rice and they have one of the lowest reported number of cases of Alzheimer’s disease in the world, it’s practically nonexistent in India. Turmeric is also a natural detoxifier and has been known as a great aid for clearing skin of such problems as psoriasis and acne.


Dark chocolate – 2 squares a day
Dark chocolate has been making headlines for the past number of years to the delight of many chocolate lovers. Dark chocolate has been linked to lowering high blood pressure and many other health benefits too. It’s packed with flavinoids which have a positive effect on heart disease and LDL Cholesterol . Note, its very easy to eat a whole bar a day so be careful, you only need around 1oz of dark chocolate so keep it to around 2 squares a day for maximum benefit without the weight gain.
