Tips to Feel and Look Younger

Being young forever is only a dream, but feeling and looking youthful is not. For some people, we can see that they are looking much younger than their real ages. When we were still in the elementary school, back then, remember our peers, classmates, every one looked in the same age. But, why now after tens of years, some look older or younger than the others? How could they be?
For some people who look younger, they usually have some habit or mindset that make them feeling happy, looking fresh and energetic and maintaing their good health.
Here are some tips from them:

Drink Water

Since most of our body consist of water, it becomes very essential for helping functioning of our cells. Drinking sufficient amounts of water each day aids our kidneys in ridding our body of toxins and metabolic wastes and keeps our energy levels up. On the other hand, when our body runs low on water it is like a car running low on fuel and this leads to imbalances in our body as our cardiovascular system has to work harder to pump blood around the body.

Do Exercise Regularly

Exercising builds denser and stronger bones which helps lowers the risk of osteoporosis as we age. In our increasingly sedentary and lethargic lifestyles, obesity and fatigue are commonplace. Regular exercise and movement serve to boost our energy levels and mental alertness by sending more blood to the brain and more oxygen absorption by our brain cells. It can also boost serotonin levels, a chemical in our brain that stimulates calmness and that “happy feeling” and keeps stress and depression at bay.


Laugh

When we are laughing, it provides great physical release by exercising our diaphragm, abdominals and upper body. It relaxes our muscles and aids our mental, emotional and spiritual health. Each time we laugh or smile endorphins - the body’s natural pain killer - are released while excess stress hormones like cortisol are reduced. This helps us relieve pain, stress and sickness. It also connects us to others in a positive manner, increasing our social energy. So choose comedy shows, funny movies and humorous stories over gossip, horror flicks or violent computer games.

Spend Time and Play With Children, Be a Child

To feel younger, simply play like you did when you were younger. Spend time and play with kids whenever you can; wonder, laugh and marvel with them. Feel free to let your inner child emerge and join in their worry-free imagination and innocence. Even if you cannot physically catch up with them or participate in their games, being around their laughter, spontaneity and energy is invigorating and helps you fight ageing.
