We normally relate aging with wrinkles and wheelchairs, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Wheater we like it or not our current habits define the quality of life that we will experience in a few years.
Today we want to share with you a few tips to age healthy, gracefully, and overall feeling great.

Keeping your brain young

Your brain requires two main things to function its best: energy, and protection. 
It is well established that the brain uses more energy than any other human organ, accounting for up to 20 percent of the body’s total haul. 
Energy travels to the brain via blood vessels in the form of glucose, which is transported across the blood-brain barrier and used to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main currency of chemical energy within cells., in other words,  your brain runs on sugar and oxygen.
This is why when you are dieting you find that you’re not thinking as clearly.

Nutrition plays a big role in your brain`s functioning and today we will share a few tips to improve it:

Keeping your skin young

It’s not a secret that your appearance plays a big role in your life. People perceive attractive people as:
  • Happier.
  • More successful.
  • Trustworthy.

  • Vitamin C:  A high intake of vitamin C is tied to a younger appearance because it helps to build collagen, which strengthens your skin and gives it elasticity. You can get skin benefits from vitamin C by eating vitamin C-rich foods (Broccoli, peppers, oranges, spinach, etc), taking a vitamin C supplement, and applying vitamin C serum topically. 
  • Get a good sleep: Aside from the fact that sleeping gives you the energy to last the next day, it also helps you retain a younger look. Sleeping encourages the body to produce human growth hormone HGH, especially if you sleep for a full eight-hour period. HGH is responsible for maintaining skin elasticity as it triggers the body to produce collagen, thereby, preventing the appearance of a lot of wrinkles, especially on the face. This natural way of preventing wrinkles and feel and look young as you age.
