Nobody likes it but the alternative to getting older is not that pleasant to face.
One of the things you should be doing if you don't want to lose your looks or your health as the years pile on is to take care of your health.
There are a lot of things you can do to "grow old gracefully"as they say.
The first thing should be taking care of your health.
That begins with the most basic things, including diet, exercise and, of course, your beauty sleep.
They don't call it beauty sleep for nothing.
Not getting enough sleep is going to stack on the pounds, especially around your belly, for both men and women.
Get your zzzzzz's.
Avoiding growing old can be assisted with your diet.
Making sure you don't eat junk food that contains sugars (all kinds of them), starches also known as refined carbohydrates and eat less red meat because red meat not only causes cholesterol problems, it can cause cancer.
Also be sure to eat lots of dark green vegetables such as spinach, broccoli and then add the colorful vegetables such as carrots, and peppers.
Don't forget the dark red fruits such as strawberries, blueberries and raspberries.
All of these help your anti oxidant levels to fight the free radicals in your body.
Also add whole grains to your diet to fight constipation and avoid colon cancer.
Add to your healthy diet some nutritional supplements which you can find out the best recommendations from a naturopath or else your health store.
Nutrition in food is sometimes missing because of cooking/freezing/ transportation and the fact that the soil no longer has the nutrition it used to have in it.
Next on the list of health and anti aging for men and women is doing enough exercise, each and every day on a regular basis.
Exercise helps fight off muscle wasting, strengthens muscles and bones and even your heart.
It's also a good depression fighter by its ability to produce hormones that are good for you, the serotonin and the endorphins.
Physical fitness also fights such diseases as heart disease, osteoporosis and high cholesterol.
Exercise also helps you maintain a youthful body shape so you are "better looking"as you grow older.
Other good antiaging techniques to practice are reducing your stress levels.
You've heard of the old adage "stress kills"? Well, it's true and it causes all kinds of serious health problems.
Stop owning everybody else's problems, practice yoga and meditation.
Go for long walks with a friend.
Do some tai chi or go for a swim.
Once you're doing all the above things to fight aging, if you still feel that you need some work, you can always look into cosmetic fillers or plastic surgery.
But this is a last step.
Perhaps you don't really need it at all if you take care of yourself and your health and accept yourself.
Growing old gracefully is possible with your health in your hand.
