At all times, people have been driven by a passionate goal - to preserve eternal youth and beauty. This dilemma has not lost its relevance to this day. Judge for yourself: at 30, 40, 50 years old, would you like to look, well... at least ten years younger? Of course!

Unfortunately, it is impossible to stop the physiological process of aging. But preserving youth, at least to a relative extent, is within the power of each of us. The main thing is not to be lazy and include new, healthy habits in your diet. Are you ready for dramatic changes in your usual diet, self-care, and pastime? If yes, then this article is just for you! Let's figure out what rules are very important to follow in order to preserve youth, health and beauty for a long time. Go!

Physical activity

Sport is not only the best cure for a bad mood, but also the most important component of a healthy lifestyle. Scientists say that by regularly devoting at least 30 minutes a day to physical exercise, you can protect yourself from obesity, cancer and arthritis. Physical activity reduces the likelihood of developing Alzheimer's disease by 50% and eliminates the manifestation of depression by approximately 47%.

Have you felt how insidious apathy has quietly crept up on you? immediately ! Well, or at least for an active walk. Just don’t mess around too much. Normally, a person should take at least 10 thousand steps a day. It would seem, so what’s so special about a walk... But you try to include it in your daily schedule as an integral procedure. In just a week, your emotional state will change for the better, your head will become fresh and light, and what can we say about toned legs and noticeable improvements on the scales.

Proper nutrition

Alas, it’s not possible to eat hamburgers and maintain youth for many years. Scientists from gerontologists have found that by reducing daily calorie consumption by literally 30%, we significantly prevent the progression of the aging process , which means we preserve our youth and attractiveness. Moreover, people who watch their diet are more energetic and have virtually no health problems.

A properly formulated diet can prolong the life cycle, protect against the possible risk of cancer, increase brain activity and significantly improve our reactions. What secret products contribute to this? In fact, their list is simple: fresh fruits and vegetables, cereals and other foods enriched with living fibers and vitamins A, C, E. It is the latter that act as natural antioxidants that cleanse our body of harmful toxins. Also, nutritionists highlight a number of products that, in their opinion, are the treasured key to long-lasting youth and attractiveness.

Seafood

Numerous clinical studies have revealed a very interesting fact: Japanese residents are least susceptible to developing cancer compared to other nations. This is due to their ardent love for seafood delicacies enriched with healthy omega acids. Especially, tuna, salmon and salmon are rightfully considered a storehouse of such.

Milk products

Calcium plays a key role in the proper formation of tissues and bones. Natural dairy products - cottage cheese, milk and sour cream - will help replenish its reserves in the body. As people age, some become lactose intolerant. In this case, you can pay attention to soy products . Soy contains no less useful substances. Regularly consuming delicacies based on it can significantly reduce blood cholesterol levels and even prevent the development of osteoporosis.

Tomatoes

Have you ever wondered why Italians are always in a great mood? Simply, there is always a natural antidepressant on their table - tomatoes. This juicy vegetable is full of lycopene, which has a beneficial effect on the psyche and cardiovascular system, and also prevents the development of a number of malignant tumors.

Broccoli

Broccoli is high in sulforaphane, which is responsible for the production of enzymes that remove toxins from the body. Also, asparagus cabbage is saturated with a large amount of vitamin A , which is often called the beauty vitamin, because it is responsible for the strength of nails and hair strength.

Walnuts

The benefit of walnuts is their satiety. By eating five nuts with honey, you can satiate your stomach for a long time without harming your figure. Also, this product can reduce the risk of developing breast cancer. Doctors boldly include it in the menu of people suffering from diabetes and gastritis. Their oil has no less beneficial effects on the liver. To maintain youth and beauty, as well as improve your health, it is enough to treat yourself to a hearty treat once a day, in the form of a small snack (up to 50 g).

Apples

This sweet, crunchy fruit is enriched with a lot of useful vitamins and substances, in particular quercetin. The latter is found in abundance in apple peels and is highly valued in medicine. Quercetin is often included in a number of food and dietary supplements. Also, the substance acts as a powerful opponent of age-related diseases Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

Green tea

The value of this drink has been known since time immemorial. Green tea actively removes waste and toxins from the body. Its regular use has a beneficial effect on the figure, calms the nervous system and improves heart function. The fair half should especially pay attention to it. Green tea reduces the circulation of estrogen in the body, which provokes the development of breast cancer.

Secrets of beauty and health: women's tricks

With age, the skin of girls and women loses freshness, elasticity and tone. Gradually, dry skin becomes covered with wrinkles, worsening women's health. Natural remedies have long been able to win the love of women of all ages.

Regularly using homemade masks made from natural products, you can keep your complexion fresh for a long time. Masks deeply nourish the epidermis and saturate it with vitamins. I offer recipes for proven and effective masks for dry skin.

1. Mix one teaspoon of honey with two teaspoons of fresh aloe juice. Apply to facial skin for 15-20 minutes, then rinse with warm water.
2. Mash the boiled potatoes, add a teaspoon of cream and the same amount of olive oil. Mix everything and apply a thin layer on the face. Leave for 15-20 minutes, then rinse with chamomile decoction.
3. Mash half a ripe banana into a paste, pour in a teaspoon of cream and add a little oatmeal ground into powder. Apply for 15 minutes, then rinse with warm water.

Facial care is not limited to just masks a couple of times a week. For freshness, you can make a homemade tonic from medicinal herbs and wipe your skin with it in the morning. For example, you can take chamomile to care for dry and aging skin or St. John's wort to wipe oily skin.

If your face does not have a network of capillaries located close to the surface, then it is recommended to wipe it in the morning with an ice cube, starting from the area around the eyes, and then gently moving along the massage lines. Ice can be frozen from purified water or chamomile decoction.

Beauty and care

Relief from stress

Of course, no one is immune from stressful situations in which it is difficult to control one’s nerves. But you can always look at any problem from a different perspective. Only a child does not know that nerve cells are not restored. So let's stop losing them over trifles. There are a number of simple recommendations that increase our resistance to stress and, as a result, help maintain youth:

• stop pampering yourself with invigorating drinks, which excite the psyche and disrupt sleep patterns, which is fraught with periodic attacks of groundless anxiety;
• Surprisingly, straight posture and resistance to stress are directly related to each other, so “keep your back straight and your nose high, gentlemen”;
• give your brain a break from television and gadgets at least a couple of hours before bed. Read a fascinating novel, free your imagination from news feeds and notice for yourself how the quality of your night's rest has improved.

Body flexibility

There is a saying: “You are only as young as the flexibility of your spine.” Indeed, our youth directly depends on the flexibility of our body. If washing floors without a mop is a fabulous feat, then what kind of youth can we even talk about? The lack of physical mobility will certainly make itself felt by the age of 35. Muscles and ligaments will lose their elasticity, joints will begin to bend and unbend with the sound of a “country gate” and, therefore, gradually the scales will begin to please less and less often...

In order not to let the situation get to this point, to maintain youth and flexibility of the body, it is important to overcome laziness and take care of yourself. For these purposes, it is not necessary to join the ranks of bodybuilders. It is enough to include simple physical exercises such as yoga, stretching, Pilates and others in your daily diet. This kind of activity will restore elasticity to the muscles, improve blood circulation and even help relieve nervous tension. By regularly performing even light exercises, we already have a reason to be proud. Also, such a habit increases self-esteem, which is also an indisputable plus.

Sun protection

Long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays causes enormous damage to our skin: they destroy collagen and elastin, cause pigment spots and activate the premature aging process in its cells. What can we say about sunburn, excessive dryness and flaking?

Yes, the sun is certainly great. It lifts your mood, gives your skin a beautiful tan, and ultimately warms you up... But it is important not to overdo it with exposure to its hot rays and arm yourself with all the precautions: protective cream with UV filters, a hat, sunglasses. We especially do not neglect the latter. It’s clear that you want to fully enjoy the beauty of a sunny day! But long contemplation of the radiant sky is not very beneficial for our eyes. Moreover, it is fraught with cataracts! So, we stock up on anti-solar attributes and try to stay in the shade as long as possible in the first half of the day.

Cleanse your skin gently

You need to cleanse your skin carefully. Gentle exfoliation promotes cell regeneration and removes dirt, dust and small particles. Sometimes girls do skin cleansing procedures incorrectly. The advice of cosmetologists is simple:

1. Do not use rough scrubbing agents. Use gentle cleansing lotions, toners and serums.
2. Do not stretch the skin while washing. Do not rub your face with a towel; pat gently to remove any remaining moisture after washing.
3. Use a moisturizer to restore hydrolipid balance.

Facial care

The skin of the face is extremely delicate and requires especially delicate care, because it is completely defenseless against the harmful effects of the environment. To protect and strengthen the skin, as well as preserve its youth for many years, it is important to follow all the rules of caring for it.

Cleansing with a special foam or gel should become a daily habit. It is carried out like brushing your teeth - twice a day: in the morning after waking up, and in the evening, a few hours before bedtime. Several times a week, use scrubs and peeling for deep cleansing, masks for intensive nutrition and skin regeneration.
Also, do not forget to use special creams according to your skin type. And remember: not only women should take care of their faces. This aspect also applies to men.

How to maintain youth without compromising your quality of life?

Contrary to general prejudices, in order to look great at any age you do not need to radically change your life. To maintain health, beauty and youth for a long time, significantly improve your well-being and increase the overall quality of life, you just need to make minimal adjustments to your usual routine.

As for maintaining physical youth, here are some tips for women of any age:

• rational nutrition with the inclusion of environmentally friendly dishes with low calorie content in the menu;
• sufficient sleep duration;
• regular gymnastics;
• hygiene and systematic skin care procedures;
• reducing the number of emotional and physical overloads, sufficient rest after them;
• giving up bad habits or reducing them;
• adding variety to your life.

The closest path to youth is a healthy lifestyle, and our advice will be based on compliance with its components.

Walks in the open air

For optimal and vigorous well-being, a person needs about thirty cubic meters of fresh air per hour. Don’t be too lazy in the evening after work to walk a couple of stops. Unwind your head and replenish your body’s supply of fresh air. At home, even in winter, try to never close the windows. And in general: get out to the park more often, to picnics, to the dacha... All this will enrich you not only with oxygen, but also with a sea of ​​positive emotions!

Minimum fried

Many people are ready to sell their souls for fried potatoes with a crispy crust, or a tasty sizzling steak fresh from the frying pan. But a momentary enjoyment of such delicacies causes disproportionate harm to the body. Protein and fat molecules damaged during frying are no longer responsible for the optimal performance of their functions. Now, these “cross-linked” carbohydrates pose a serious threat: diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, chronic kidney disease, Alzheimer's disease... These are just some of the options that lead to abuse of fried foods.

To preserve your outer youth, you first need to take care of your inner youth. Try replacing fried foods with boiled, stewed, or steamed ones. Also, reconsider your “savory” preferences. Now we are talking about seasonings and herbs. Some of them can stop the aging process: thyme, oregano, rosemary, basil, sage, tarragon, dill. They not only give food an amazing spicy aroma, but also prevent the development of cardiovascular diseases.

are considered excellent anti-aging agents . They contain the geroprotective substance curcumin, which slows down the progression of cell aging in the body.

Dyes, preservatives, fragrances

Don't listen to manufacturers when they say their cosmetics do not contain preservatives. Without them, the products deteriorate within a few days. And if you use the cream for at least a month, then it probably contains preservatives. In most cases, it does not matter at all whether they are natural or artificial substances. Their quantity in cosmetics is so small (less than 0.5%) that they do not have a noticeable effect on the skin.

Fans of natural organic cosmetics will never buy a cream or lotion that contains parabens, disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) or phenoxyethanol. However, there is no real reason to be afraid of these substances. This is more of a fashion statement than a vital necessity.

Dyes and fragrances are needed to make a cosmetic product look and smell attractive. And here everything is decided by individual sensitivity to the components. Some of them can cause allergic reactions, so any cosmetics should be tested before use.

Every woman, regardless of financial status and professional knowledge, can become an excellent cosmetologist for herself. It’s enough just to choose the right set of procedures and effective cosmetics for each time of year. And, of course, use them regularly!

Getting rid of bad habits

Many people passionately talk about how much they long to preserve their youth for at least another ten years. But at the same time, these people do not think about the dangers of cigarettes and alcohol both for general health and for appearance. Smoking activates premature aging of the skin and significantly damages teeth.

American studies have proven that the mortality rate of smokers is three times higher than the mortality rate of non-smokers. At the same time, the list of cancer, respiratory and vascular diseases that cause death is truly frightening...

Drinking clean water daily

Do you want to maintain youth and good health for a long time? Drink as much clean water as possible, 2 to 2.5 liters per day. We can talk endlessly about the beneficial properties of this universal solvent, but we will highlight a number of the main ones:

• moisturizes and smoothes the skin;
• removes waste and toxins from the body;
• is directly involved in the formation of joint lubrication;
• responsible for thermoregulation of the body;
• promotes accelerated entry into the body of minerals, trace elements and vitamins absorbed from food;
• speeds up metabolism;
• promotes weight loss;
• protects body cells from death and starvation by transporting nutrients to them.

Do not forget that we are talking about clean water; tea and coffee are not suitable in this case. If it is difficult to start drinking 2 liters of water a day, then start with at least 3 glasses a day: morning, afternoon and evening.

Tip seven: cleansing the body

In order to stay young longer, we need to take care of the timely removal of harmful substances that accumulate throughout life and clog our body from the inside. Even if you eat right, you need to take measures to cleanse the body, especially the intestines. Several ways to naturally and regularly cleanse the body under normal conditions:

• compliance with the correct drinking regime (you must drink at least 1.5-2 liters of clean water daily);
• drinking freshly squeezed berry, fruit and vegetable juices (beetroot and carrot juice has a particularly strong effect);
• herbal infusions will relieve you of toxins: herbs such as St. John's wort, chamomile, birch buds, and immortelle are especially useful;
• cleansing with folk remedies. So, a paste made from 10 heads of garlic, 10 lemons and 1 liter of natural honey is very effective. Drink this “potion” on an empty stomach, 4 tsp each, until the remedy runs out;
• cleansing and rejuvenation with tea made from strawberry, raspberry and rosehip leaves.

Eating foods rich in antioxidants

There are a number of foods that, when we feast on them, we unknowingly protect ourselves from diseases, slow down the aging process in the body and help damaged cells return to optimal functioning. The fact is that these foods are enriched with high levels of antioxidants that perform all this magic inside us:

• spinach;
• pomegranate;
• nuts;
• blueberry;
• dark grapes;
• green tea.

By including these simple dishes in the daily menu, we are able to preserve our youth, beauty, optimal well-being and accompanying mood for many many years to come.
