How to age gracefully, healthily, beautifully and vibrantly

There are a variety of simple things we can do to age gracefully, beautifully and healthily.  We can choose to eat a healthy diet, include protein in every meal.  We can stimulate our senses; indulge in the sensuous odor of lavender for instance.   

We can choose to attain a healthy weight loss if we are overweight.  Study the issues that effect women’s health.

Learn how to be stress free.  Or, at least learn how to control stress.  And be happy.  Happiness is not a gift; it is not a given talent.  Happiness needs to be pursued.  Go after it; make it your own.  Grab it!  Seriously, you can choose to be happy.  It is your ability to do this.  And, you will live longer and healthier.

Free Radical Damage.
Free radicals are molecules that destabilize oxygen.  The can enter the body by the air we breathe, the food we eat, and even our own bodies creates them.  They attach to our cells and they do to our cells what the air does to a peeled fruit that we see turned brown.

And let’s face it.  Life itself will have its toll on us.

So, let’s counteract these agers.  Let’s fight back.
First, make health, fitness your daily objectives.  Eat a healthy diet.  You do not have to go overboard, just be in control.  Omega 3 is a known anti aging natural supplement.  It is also great for “heart health.”

Manage your stress.
Walk more!  Take baths in sensuous smells.  Drink green tea.   And, do not be stingy with protein.  Just make sure it is not high fat protein.  Try many of the new soy products available.  If you can afford it, go for a massage every now and then.

Make sure you get enough vitamin B6 and B12.  Lavender is known to be an anti stress herb.  And, it has a terrific smell.

Exercise is so important.  Fitness!  The more fit, the less stress, the less aging will have its effect on us.

Sleep!  Make sure you get enough sleep.  This is so important.  Not just in bed at a good time, but strive for a fitful sleep.
