What’s the Deal with Aging, Anyway?

We all do it, and it’s gonna happen to everyone. If we’re lucky, that is! But that doesn’t stop us from seeing advertisements for anti-aging products everywhere we go, or from being told that we need to look younger to feel better about ourselves. But that’s not really true, is it? Those laugh lines are hard-earned, so wear them proudly!

That said, there are plenty of ways to feel younger, and many of those ways have the side effect of actually making you look younger, too (in case that’s something you’re interested in). Here are just a few:

Wear sunscreen when going outside.
The sun is a good friend, but there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Sun damage can damage your skin and lead to higher risks of skin cancer. When you’re spending time outdoors, lather up with some SPF 30 or higher. And while you’re at it, apply a mild moisturizer after hopping out of the shower.

Eat a balanced diet.
You’ve probably heard this one time and time again, but it’s true! Your body needs proteins, fruits, veggies, grains, and the whole nine yards to keep its organs—including your skin—healthy and working at their best.

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!
Our bodies are about 60% water, and when we’re lacking water, we get dehydrated, which impacts our overall health and robs us of the hydration we need to look and feel our best. So drink more water! Experts recommend drinking about 12 cups (2.8 liters) per day. And no, alcohol and sugary drinks don’t really count. They may contain water, but all the added sugars and other ingredients make it a losing battle.

Get plenty of sleep.
We all know what a lack of sleep feels like, and so it should come as no surprise to learn that getting 7-8 full hours of sleep each night is one of the best things you can do for your body, both physically and mentally.

Give up drinking alcohol and smoking.
These habits have severe long-term effects on both your insides and outsides, and may even lead to lung cancer or organ diseases. It’s never too late to quit smoking or kick bad drinking habits , and the sooner you do, the younger you’ll feel.
