Top Natural Anti Aging Tips
You don't need to spend hundreds of dollars a month on high priced skincare products to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. There are many safe and natural methods available that are just as effective for preserving your youthful complexion without having to resort to risky surgeries or injections.
Here are some of the top natural anti aging tips to help you maintain your youthful appearance and keep it that way well into your 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond.
Drink Water - Water is necessary for detoxification and maintaining the health of your skin. Cell function, including regeneration, and health of every organ system is dependent on water. One common sign you are not drinking enough water is dry, itchy skin.
Drinking plenty of water keeps your skin moist. Without this moisture your skin will become dry and wrinkly. This causes premature aging. That is why you almost always see celebrities carrying bottled water with them all the time. They take the necessary steps to preserve their skin.
Water can also be a miracle cure for many other common ailments, especially helping you lose weight. Try drinking some now and see if you don't feel better!
Quit Smoking - smoking has been proven to cause wrinkles so be eliminating this you eliminate one factor says the researchers at the Mayo Clinic. Smoking accelerates the normal aging process of your skin by damaging collagen and elastin which give your skin its strength and elasticity, causing wrinkles and sagging skin much earlier than they should. These skin changes are irreversible.
How does smoking lead to wrinkles? Smoking causes narrowing of the blood vessels in the outermost layers of your skin. This impairs blood flow to your skin, depleting it of oxygen and important nutrients, such as vitamin A.
In addition, repeated exposure to the heat from burning cigarettes and the facial expressions you make when smoking — such as pursing your lips when inhaling and squinting your eyes to keep out smoke — can contribute to wrinkles.

Eat super Foods - Add super foods to your diet can help you increase longevity and can help prevent many common diseases. Super foods are loaded with skin-boosting anti-oxidants. The Goji Berry, for example, contains 500 times more vitamin C than oranges.
Recent research shows the Goji Berry has more beta-carotene - which helps fight heart disease - than carrots, while its high levels of polysaccharides stimulate the immune system - keeping you from getting sick or cutting down the amount of time you are ill. And when you eat foods rich in things like that, they will make a difference on your body and skin.
A side benefit of the Goji Berry is that it can boost your sex drive and is being called "natural Viagra."
Blueberries are another super food that gets a lot of attention due to its ability to slow the ageing process by helping to prevent and reverse memory loss.
Other notable super foods to incorporate in your diet include broccoli, strawberries, oats, oily fish, green tea, and nuts.
These three tips are simple and easy to do. They cost you very little but can have a profound impact on your health and longevity. Give them a try alongside your regular anti aging regimen and see if you can tell the difference.
