Reverse the Clock

We are All Aging All the Time!

Whether you are a grandmother on the go, a busy business woman, or a student struggling to finish that last semester, the clock is working against you. Stepping outside each day, you are exposed to accelerated aging factors, as well as when you flick the light switch and settle into bed each night. By implementing a few of these easy effective tips, you will have mother nature second-guessing the year!


Tip #1
While getting enough Sleep is imperative to overall well-being, the way in which you receive those 8 recommended hours may be causing some wrinkles!  While most individuals find comfort in sleeping on their side or stomach, this position causes what is known as "sleep crush," leading to and enhancing  the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

 Reverse the Clock!! Sleep On Your Back, so as not to destroy the collagen and elastin fibers in your skin. This position also prevents the stretching of your cheek and neck muscles, which later result in unsightly jowels.

Tip #2

Research has shown that those who participate in vigorous exercise 3 hours a week are biologically nine years younger than those who exercised fewer than fifteen minutes a week.  9 YEARS!  What then constitutes as vigorous exercise?  According to experts any activity which raises your heart rate between 130 and 157 beats per minute is considered vigorous. By performing a 30-minute routine six times a week, you will be adding years to your life. Even completing the exercise regimen only three times each week will reduce our biological age by 4 Years!!  

Also, doing weighted exercises in addition to taking calcium and magnesium daily strengthens bones and prevents osteoporosis. Get Moving!!!

Tip #3

De-stress & Indulge. This may seem an unlikely tip in how to reverse the biological clock, but notice I did not preface the one word tip with Over. Indulging in certain ways helps reduce stress, and we all know stress can wreak havoc on not only your appearance, but your health as well. By participating in various breathing methods, or exercising we can reduce and eliminate the under-eye circles, limp hair, and fine lines that are brought on by stress.  After calming yourself with nice evening walk, unwind with a glass of red wine. 

Benefits of drinking one to two glasses of red wine daily include: greater bone density, increased antioxidant consumption (which results in decreased tumor development), and an 80% lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. 
Some Varieties to Look For: 
-Cabernet
-Pinot Noir
-Merlot
-Syrah

Tip #4

Eating healthy plays an enormous role in our well-being and how we age. No matter how healthy and mindful we are regarding what we consume, we can never gain all the vital nutrients our bodies need through eating alone. If nothing else, taking a daily multi-vitamin can boost health levels and lead to an overall younger appearance. Ingredients to look for

• Folate
• Magnesium
• Iron
• Omega-3 (Omega-6) Fatty Acids
• Vitamin D3
• Calcium Citrate

Also, divide it up! For best absorption, and to receive the most from your daily supplement, take half in the morning and half at night. 

Remember, it is never too late to start changing your future. Research shows that it takes 21 days for something to become a habit! Start today, and by next month you will be looking and feeling younger!
