Introduction

We all age, and at one time or another, wish we didn’t. In the majority of cases, your health, fitness, vitality and resistance to disease and infirmity comes down to your own inputs. Like any system, garbage in – garbage out. Probably the greatest single realization that anyone facing fears of aging can embrace, is that many of the problems attributed to aging are not inevitable, or at least that the degree is not absolute.

Anti aging involves undertaking actions that have been shown to reduce and even reverse signs and symptoms normally associated with growing older. Some of these signs are visible, others are more internal and hidden. They can be physical, mental or emotional.

Tried and tested methods exist for overcoming and dealing with these changes and also for accepting and coming to terms with them. Choose the methods that best suit your circumstances, ability and willingness. Create a toolbox of coping behaviors and habits that will help you look forward to every new day.

We have the power within us to make changes to different aspects of our lives to bring about improvements to our quality of life, now and in the future. These changes may be small initially, but can be built upon and their effects will lead to other, bigger, better changes.

The Evolution of Your Anti Aging Plans

Good health isn’t static throughout our lives. It changes. Our bodies become different and our health needs alter continually. Not just our physical health, but also our mental well-being.

Aging encompasses so much more than whatever wrinkles you see on your face. It’s more than age spots or aches and pains that you feel over time. It’s a total mind and body process – inside and out.

From the day we are born we start aging. In our formative years, it’s up to our parents to help us prevent faster aging. For example, they choose our foods and put sunscreen on our bodies before a day at the beach.

But once we reach our teen years, the responsibilities shift to us and from that point on, we should enact a self-care routine that helps us maintain our youth as long as possible.

Anti Aging in Your Teens

It’s so hard to think about anti aging regimens when we’re teenagers. After all, our bodies and minds are fit and healthy at this age. Skin is taut - and aside from acne, there are no age spots or wrinkles to be concerned with. Still, some girls and boys in this age group are being educated about the aging process, so they’re able to make immediate changes that help them stay younger, longer.

In your teens, you want to do everything you can to:

Protect your skin from sun damage
Max out your mental capabilities
Exercise your body by pushing it to its (safe) limits
Cater to your sleep needs
Feed your body the nutrients it needs to thrive
Learn how to achieve happiness and stress relief on demand

The earlier these habits are adopted, the easier it will be to utilize them in your later years. This is a time when you probably won’t have trouble sleeping or finding the energy you need to accomplish your to do list. But unfortunately, it’s also a time when we’re lazy about anti aging behaviors.

We go to sleep with makeup on, stay up until all hours of the night and run on fumes, lay out in the sun wearing baby oil instead of sunscreen, and so on.

Educating yourself is half the battle. Taking the needed steps to protect your youthful appearance and energy is the second – and the most important - part of your battle.

Anti Aging in Your 20s

In our twenties, we start to recognize that time marches on. In our early twenties, we’re still enjoying some of the teenaged perks we had before – but later in our twenties, we start to realize that our skin is changing, our bodies are evolving – and we’re suddenly alert to those differences.

This is when you should really try to kick those awful habits you adopted in your late teens, early 20s – like smoking because you thought it would look cool, but you now realize only hurts your health (and beauty).

In your twenties, you might start seeing changes in your skin from your teen years. If you’re working in your career, you also might start realizing you can’t keep up with the teen and early 20s crowd like you once did – partying until 3 AM and up at 5 to go to work.

This is the decade when you wake up and start feeling – both physically and mentally – like you’re not a kid anymore. It’s time to start preparing for your adult years with internal and external solutions.

Anti Aging in Your 30s

The thirties are when men and women alike sound off alarm bells in their heads about the aging process. The first real signs of aging begin to show up – your first gray hair, your first fine line around the eyes.

It’s enough to send a panic through your body.

If you’re a parent, then chances are you’re feeling exhausted – whether it’s because you’re chasing toddlers around or because your body is aging faster than it should be.

This is the decade where you need to take back control. You’re still young enough to be filled to the brim with energy if you approach it right – but you’re old enough to understand that you can’t stop time, so the self-care is imperative for you.

Anti Aging in Your 40s

When you reach your 40th birthday, you’re officially known as being “over the hill.”

Everything is downhill from this point on – unless it’s not! You’re the only one who can determine that.

It’s at this age that the signs of aging truly show up in some way, shape or form. It might be crow’s feet or sagging skin that you can’t seem to battle any more. Sometimes it’s weight gain and depression.
