It would be truly wonderful if an actual “fountain of youth” existed, wouldn’t it? We can only imagine how long the line ups would be if people could walk up to the fountain and take a sip of its magical youth-providing fluids. It is unlikely that any such fountain will literally exist in our lifetimes. However, there are plenty of other methods we can use to keep ourselves looking and feeling young.
The solution to maintaining our youthfulness is really no big secret. Both medical and beauty experts are likely to agree. A life void of vices (such as cigarette smoking) and rich in practices (such as exercising and healthy eating) are bound to help your quest to look and feel young. There are many simple steps to take if you want to maintain your youthfulness.
Here are three:
1. Eat healthy fats.
It’s important to address the issue of healthy eating. Most people hear the word “fat” and assume they need to avoid it at all costs. There are healthy fats that are actually excellent anti-aging agents. Omega-3 fatty acids are the healthy kinds of fats that our bodies need to help prevent visible signs of aging. They are found in such foods as salmon, walnuts and seeds.
Omega-3s boost the ability of the body’s enzymes to pull fat out of storage and use it as energy. These fatty acids keep you healthy and make your skin radiant.
2. Do less partying and get more sleep.
Ironically, many people believe that to feel young, they need to act young. As a result, they spend far too much time partying and drinking alcohol. Their efforts to have fun and maintain their youthful, carefree approach to living life may seem like a great time. But all of that activity equates to far too little sleep and far too much alcohol consumption. Both contribute to the signs of aging.
As Carly Cardellino explains on Cosmopolitan.com, “skin repairs itself while you sleep, so not getting at least eight hours can lead to a sallow, dull complexion. That alone will make you look much older than you are, not to mention the dark circles that’ll come with it.” She goes on to point out that drinking too much on a regular basis can dehydrate your skin, leaving it more susceptible to fine lines and wrinkles.
3. Tighten your skin with Thermage.
When all else fails, there is a safe and effective treatment that will help to restore your youthful look. Thermage is a clinically proven way to tighten and contour your skin. It also improves tone, contour and texture naturally through the stimulation of your own collagen. Thermage is completely non-invasive. It involves no surgery, no injections and no downtime.
A single treatment tightens your existing collagen and stimulates new collagen growth. Improvements are both immediately visible and can continue up to six months. Results can last for years depending on your skin condition and aging process. For more information, please don’t hesitate to call Aurora Skin & Vein at 403-358-5818.
