Hello mommy .
. .
Looking young and energetic
is
closely related to exercise and physical activities. It is not necessary to
join a gym or something. You can choose to participate in any physical activity
like outdoor games, walking, running, jogging or anything you are comfortable
with. Exercise and/or physical activities are very good for good health and not
to forget that exercise helps you in several ways by keeping your improving
blood circulation, by burning calories and keeping your muscles and body in
shape. The best part exercise will make you internally strong and it helps you
in fighting against several diseases and health related problems which is
indeed very vital for anti-aging.
A major disease can reduce your age significantly, and exercise helps in
fighting diseases. Above all, it makes you feel young instead of looking young.
Include Omega-3 Fatty Acids in Your Diet
Omega-3s are anti-inflammatory, and can
help your skin stay younger looking. They are found mostly in fatty
fish and marines oils like fish oil, cod liver oil and green lip mussel oil.
Many health care practitioners who used to recommend fish like salmon in your
diet every week are now concerned about the high levels of mercury and PCBs
found in fish today. If you are too, try eating pastured eggs, and including
flax seed and walnuts in your diet.
However, this may not be enough, as
many people today cannot make an efficient conversion of plant-based omega-3s
to the omega 3 form that your body needs. So, many people feel they have
benefited from a high quality fish oil, cod liver oil or green lip mussel oil
supplement.
Also important is to avoid vegetable oils, believe
it or not, as they can age your skin faster. This is probably because they are
less stable, and often contain free radical-producing substances, even before
you cook with them. Try using coconut
oil for cooking.
Make Sure and Eat a Diet High in Antioxidants
Antioxidants help to quench free
radicals, and this can keep your skin looking younger! In fact, they can help
as much or maybe more than using a good skin care product! Antioxidants are
found in many foods, especially fruits and vegetables, and are especially high
in many berries. B complex and E complex vitamins are also great antioxidants,
found in abundance in whole grains and nuts and seeds. Some great foods for
your skin include berries as well as avocados and leafy greens. Organic food
often contains higher levels of antioxidants, and so does food that is fresh
from the farm, so try to eat organic from the farm or your garden as much as
you can!
If you don't think you get enough
antioxidants in your diet, or want to supplement to add more of them to your
diet, we highly recommend food-based supplements like dried greens and
fruit and berry mixes. Just make sure they take care when they dry them - using
low temperatures to preserve the nutrients.
Whey Protein Helps Boost the Master Antioxidant Glutathione
Glutathione helps the body reuse other
antioxidants, and has been called the "master antioxidant" by many.
Glutathione is produced by the body, but as we age, most of us produce less and
less glutathione. This seems to speed up the aging process, as we have more
difficulty quenching free radicals. These free radicals age your skin as well
as your body, and contribute too many diseases, including cancer and heart
disease.
We need amino acids to produce
glutathione, especially one called cysteine. This is where whey protein comes
in, as a high quality whey has a lot of cysteine, and can help the body produce
more glutathione. Whey protein can be found in dairy products like milk, yogurt
and ricotta cheese, but many decide to supplement with a whey protein powder.
We highly recommend finding one made from cows out on pasture where they use a
low temperature process that does not denature the whey. If you denature the
whey, you destroy cysteine and other amino acids, which make them unavailable
to your body as well as toxic!
