How Not To Look Like Your Age Even If You Are That Old

June 06, 2008 By: Reneena Category: beauty and fashion

I don’t think everybody wants to get old sooner. But see, the trend today has urged people to look at their “youngest best” and whatever that means, really. Perhaps companies want to sell more products and take advantage of aging, not really helping how to make people embrace the idea of youth. Personally, age is just an idea, and finding a way to hold on that thought might not really cost you as much as advertisements would like you to think.

Face it aging is a fact of life. The only way to cheat aging is to work with your self, and not just the physical self but the whole self. Yes, there are products that keep skin young and still glowing, but you have to position yourself in a way that you are not too relying on creams, lotions and even surgery.

Again, it’s all in the mind and somehow aging is a decision. It is not about not acting or looking like your age. It’s about perspective in life. If you think old or you’re too old for the world, then aging becomes more than a reality.

These might be the usual ways to stay young, but if you do more than what it takes, you could actually outlive yourself:

Eat healthy. Switch to something organic. There is an unspoken conspiracy that food products contains chemicals that contribute to aging. This is a certain way to hasten death so population could be controlled. It’s an absurd idea somehow, but regardless chemicals always destroy the beauty of human existence. And, don’t just eat healthy because you want to stay you, eat healthy because it is the right thing to do. Be good to your body.

Exercise. Why would you not take time to sweat? Sure, you have many excuses like you’re too busy or too lazy, or yet, you’re too old. It’s never too late to exercise. It’s not just about defying age, but it’s a way to remind your body to move in order to survive. Stretch a muscle or two or get that bones working. If the body moves constantly, it won’t slow down sooner.

Positivity. Thinking affects the whole idea of age big time. If you really want to stay a bit younger than your age, be positive on your outlook. List all the negative elements of your life and avoid them. Stay away from things and people that could upset you. Worrying, stress and even depression are emotions, but they have a great effect on the body.

Like beauty, aging is relative. There maybe a standard of what’s being young, but still, it is a matter of choice. Are you going to stay young, or are you going to decide to get old sooner? Others may not praise you for that decision, however at the end of the day, it is only what you think and feel that matters most. It won’t kill if you will think you are still 18 even if you are already 35. Everything somehow is all in the mind.
