Practicing healthy lifestyle and habits is an ongoing process. Some of us may know the tips well but fail to practice in our routine. Here are some beauty tips for us to weave naturally into our schedule to maintain youth and beauty for as long as we wish.

Step 1: Drink lots of water, this is basic but not many of us are really drinking enough everyday. Drinking at least eight glasses a day. Juice is considered as one of the eight glasses if you are on juicing. Water cleanses your body, it’s great for your skin and you stay more energetic.

Step 2: Nurture the habit of juicing. Juicing is great; the nutrients are absorbed into your system easier and faster. You can have a variety of vegetables and fruits for well-balanced nutrition in your juice which almost gives you instant energy. You should juice twice a day, once in the morning as your first drink of the day before breakfast and once in the evening before dinner.

Step 3: Most of us are very stressed out in the course of our work. Make attempt to be around with nature when you are stressed. Take a walk in the nearest park or even jog around for 30 minutes after your busy day. An animal or pet at home to play with helps to release your stress.

Steps 4: Running a salt bath or having a salt scrub will do wonder for your stress. It is believed salt has properties that can disintegrate negativity. That explains why people spend a day at the beach feel so relaxed after being in salt water. If you can’t go to the beach and you don’t have a bathtub, just try soaking your feet in salt to drain away tensions and negative energy.

Step 5: If you wake up in a bad mood, it can impact you for the rest of the day. It is important when you first open your eyes in the morning and tell yourself you are going to have a good day. Starting your day with a positive happy thought can help put you in a good relaxed space from the moment you get up.

Step 6: Unwind yourself occasionally at home with a home hair treatment, mask and light candles round a bath. Soak yourself in the bathtub with your favorite spa.

Step 7: No matter how late you get back home from work or outing, always cleanse and remove your make-up. Your skin and face need to breathe too. Cleaning your face and body is the most basic of all skin care.

Step 8: If you find difficulties waking up in the morning, use a battery-operated eye massager on your eyes for a few minutes, it helps blood circulation and helps to look good on your eyes.

Step 9: Make effort to have a steam sauna once a week for a full body detoxification.

Step 10: Be consistent with the use of your skin care product: Cleanse, Tone, Nourish and Protect

On the March 24th Oprah show, Dr Oz recommended the anti aging resveratrol supplement. “This Extreme life extension pill could add up to 30 years on our life expectancy.” Dr Oz also discussed the benefits of calorie restriction and its affects on the aging process.

Dr Oz stated that when we restrict our calories, the body knows that it must be resourceful with what it has. “The body get very efficient” he says. Limited calories also means there is no toxic waste producing from our energy cells. This is why he states “We’re actually able to get the individual cells to live longer.”

“There are some risks”

Simply restricting your calories is not enough he says. After all, you can limit your calories by only eating a single Big Mac a day. Our Bodies need specific nutrients and if you’re not getting the proper amount of calcium for example, your bones will weaken. “There are factors to take into account.”

When the proper calorie restriction diet plan is followed, the aging process of some cells can actually be reversed. Tests have been done on many people who follow such a diet and find 50 year old men with the heart of a 30 year old.

Dr Oz stated that by simply consuming natural foods and a regular exercise ritual, we can extend our life by 20 years. 20 Years? Talk about anti aging!

Dr Oz also talked about the anti aging supplement Resveratrol. It is the main constituent of red wine and has shown to increase life expectancy by up to 50 percent! He also says in order to get the same effects from wine itself, you would have to drink over a dozen bottles a day.

One thing I never thought much about was anti aging skin care products. I saw the commercials on television and they held no interest for me. Now that I am getting older, this is suddenly something that is on my mind. I look young for my age, and I do not really have a problem with lines or wrinkles as of yet, but is it not the best defense a good offense? If I can find something that works well now, perhaps I can keep those sorts of things at bay a little longer rather than trying to deal with them as they pop up.

There are a ton of anti aging skin care products out there, and that is a huge problem. You never know what will work and what will not work. No one wants to spend a lot of money on something only to find out it does not do any good. Though you will always need a good moisturizer, and that is one of the key anti aging skin care products, there is so much more out there. There are many things that make many claims, but how do you know what works and what is a waste? You do not. Sometimes, it is a matter of trial and error.

The best testimonials for anti aging skin care products are ones that come from real people. Do not make the mistake of believing what some celebrity on a commercial says. They are getting paid to say that, and they may not even use any of the anti aging skin care products that they are talking about. Some might, but I would bet a majority of them do not. You want to hear from real people who have really used these things, and have used them for a while. Do not believe what someone in a commercial, famous or not, has to tell you. You want to talk to real people.

Your best bet is to find a source for reviews of anti aging skin care products online somewhere. I wish there were more of these sites online. Though you may not be able to tell if all of the testimonials are real, as long as that site is not connected with those who produce the anti aging skin care products, you can relax and be assured that you are hearing from real folks. You can tell by how the person speaks and writes. After a while you know the difference between public relations writing and how really people talk about products.

Human nature, combined with our survival instinct, drives us to seek out tips and information on how to live longer. Until someone locates the proverbial fountain of youth, there are four easy things you can do, starting today, to make sure you meet your grandkids’ kids.

Though these may seem like run-of-the-mill, “straight from Momma’s mouth” tips, they are backed up by 20,000 participants and a 14-year-long study.

Cut to the Chase – Just Give Me the 4 Tips!

Ok, ok, no need to yell. If you prefer to blindly follow great advice, here they are (if you rather see more about the study, see below):

Exercise – About 30 minutes per day of any activity that gets you off your cozy couch, including walking, running, lifting weights, etc. 5 Servings of Fruits and Vegetables – This one is two-fold: Not only will the addition of more fruits and vegetables provide you with several important vitamins and minerals, it should also keep you fuller between meals, thus reducing your Dorito habit. Toast to Alcohol – Careful, this isn’t an excuse for you to feel good about the entire 40 oz. you just downed. Moderate drinking in this case was considered to be 1-14 glasses of wine or beers per week. Quit Smoking – This one is pretty self-explanatory, and if it applies to you, you clearly aren’t concerned with living a long, healthy life anyway.

From 1993 to 1997, British researchers gathered information and blood samples from 20,000 healthy men and women, giving them a score of between 0 and 4, based on how many of the above tips they followed.

After tracking the participants for over a decade, while accounting for age and other factors, the team found that the “0″ people were four times as likely to have died during the course of the study.

Also, people with a perfect score of 4 were shown to have a shelf life of 14 years longer than their lowly “0″ counterparts.

The number one lifestyle change for how to live longer was to quit smoking (big surprise!).
