We are what we eat. What we eat reflects on our skin and body. First develop a regular eating habit

like eating at a proper time. Include lot of raw vegetables and fruits in your diet. Avoid junk food and

fried food. Sugar makes you look older, so you can substitute sugar with honey and fruits. Include

five servings of fruits and vegetables in your diet. Red, yellow, orange, fruits and vegetables and

greens are rich in antioxidants which helps us to delay aging. Green tea is rich in antioxidant and also

strengthens our resistance against diseases. Include almonds, olive oil (use it as a cooking medium)

fenugreek, in your diet as they are rich in antioxidants and helps to slow down the aging process. As

we grow older, we must stick to simple and easily digestible food. One can observe fasting to detoxify

oneself after consulting the doctor. People who eat a nutritious diet remain younger, tend to age

slower, look trim, healthier and are more active than others.

the surest ways to age gracefully, if practiced regularly. It gives flexibility to the body, prevents age

related diseases, improves immunity and slows aging of the skin, thereby helping us to remain

young. In yoga, it is said that the more flexible the spine is, the more youthful the person is. Yoga

our immunity to various diseases thereby helping us to remain young.

It is skin which shows our age. So keep your skin hydrated and

moisturized. Massage your skin with sweet almond oil or coconut oil once in

a fortnight to delay aging. Massage helps us to feel relaxed and energizes

us. It improves blood circulation and keeps your skin wrinkle free.

Do not massage when your stomach is full or when you are sick.
